Q How is flow separation handled in combined sewer systems?
A
In combined sewer systems, both stormwater and wastewater flow through the same pipe. When stormwater exceeds capacity (e.g., during heavy rain), overflow handling is necessary.
PIPE Design Pro allows you to define discharge capacity per junction or manhole. You can also set up a flow separation at the “flow end point data” to simulate overflow or diversion to a separate line.
