Abstract:
Disclosed herein, are gravity-based sewer bypass systems and related methods for diverting sewage fluid from an upstream sewer pit to a discharge site lower than the upstream sewer pit, via a pipe including an above-ground portion. A sensor external to the pipe is used to determine the sewage fluid level in the upstream sewer pit and accordingly regulate the outflow of sewage fluid at the discharge site.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for diverting sewage fluid from an upstream sewer pit in a sewer system to a discharge site, the method comprising steps of:\n establishing a controllable fluid connection between an upstream sewer pit and a discharge site, via a pipe, partially inserted into the upstream sewer pit through a top opening of the upstream sewer pit, with a pipe inlet end being submerged in a sewage fluid in the upstream sewer pit, and with a pipe outlet end being positioned at the discharge site, such as to be lower than a sewage fluid level in the upstream sewer pit; measuring at least one parameter indicative of the sewage fluid level in the upstream sewer pit using a sensor external to the pipe; and regulating an outflow of the sewage fluid from the pipe outlet end based, at least in part, on one or more measured values of the parameter, wherein the sewage fluid is gravity-conveyed from the upstream sewer pit.
