partnership with the engineering consultants and contractor feedback.

Pipes can be manufactured up to 2500mm ID and capability to manufacture up to 4200mm ID for specific project enquiries.

For asset owners who want a flexible, sustainable and lower cost of life pipe and structure solution to transport, store and monitor Sewage, Storm Water, Leachate and Contaminates Frank PKS™ can offer a performance designed solution for your next project.

FRANK PKS™ SEWAGE, ENVIRONMENTAL & STORM WATER2

The VW (solid-wall) profile type can be produced according to static specifications in different wall thicknesses and gradations.

The PR profile offers excellent ring stiffness combined with extremely low pipe weights.

The Frank PKS™ Plus profile types achieve very high long-term ring stiffness due to the compact profile structure. They are therefore used in systems exposed to very high external stresses.

Durable and Break-proofFrank PKS™ Pipes with Variable Profile Types

Frank PKS™ Pipes are flexible and break-proof, and can even compensate short overloads of the pipe system without consequential damage.

After the load has been removed, they fully return to their former shape.

Frank PKS™ Pipes boast a high level of long-term ring stiffness thanks to a variety of special profile types. Frank PKS™ Pipes can therefore always perfectly adapt to expected load conditions.

Frank PKS™ Pipes compensate external forces by means of a defined deformation.

Frank PKS™ Thermpipe

Sewage Pipe System with additional Heat Recovery

The Frank PKS™ Thermpipe system does much more than transporting your wastewater safely to the sewerage system. The innovative solution could best be described as a "horizontal geothermal probe with wastewater turbo charger", as the Frank PKS™ Thermpipe system also extracts heat from both the wastewater and the ground.

Wastewater in pipes does not only heat up the pipeline but also the ground around it, which is charged like a battery by the energy produced by the wastewater. This energy, which is normally wasted, can now be extracted and utilised with the Frank PKS™ Thermpipe system. A heat transfer medium is fed through a support pipe wound around the outer jacket of the sewage pipe.

This medium extracts both the energy contained in the wastewater and the ground surrounding the pipe. Thanks to the simultaneous use of two heat sources, the Frank PKS™ Thermpipe system is independent of day lines or irregular wastewater discharges. Constant heat extraction is therefore guaranteed.

Requirements for Wastewater Energy Recovery

• Densely developed residential or industrial area with relatively large wastewater volumes (dry weather flow ≥ 15 l/s)

• Energy consumers with high heat requirements (≥ 50 - 200 kW) such as schools, kindergartens, public administration offices, shopping centres, hospitals, hotels, public swimming pools, large residential apartment blocks, etc.

• Relatively short distance – max 500m between heat recovery plant and wastewater pipe

• System temperature for heat recovery (return pipe) not exceeding 50 °C (the lower, the better)

Typical Designs

Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks are designed for flexible use. Thanks to their modular design, they can be easily customised for a wide range of applications. In addition to the temporary storage of storm water, the tanks can for instance be used for the retention of process water and leachate from landfills, or the provision of service and extinguishing water.

Advantages of Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks

• Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks are designed for easy and cost-effective customisation to suit any needs

• The individual structures are pre-assembled at our factory for quick installation on site, saving time and money

• PE and PP are materials that are resistant to abrasion and offer excellent hydraulic performance (smooth inside finish, k < 0.05 mm). They are extremely durable, require only minimum maintenance and are therefore highly cost-effective. Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks can be joined by means of electrofusion sockets. This ensures permanent and reliably tight connections, which are of course indispensable for the safe storage of chemically contaminated wastewater

• Thanks to their lightweight design, the system components can be transported and installed with "light" construction machinery, which makes them suitable for use in difficult-to-access or soft terrain

• Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks have good bending properties and are therefore break-proof, flexible and resistant to deposits. We offer properly dimensioned solutions with static strength properties suitable for high superimposed loads and poor ground conditions

• The anti-adhesive inside surface prevents deposits in the pipe

• The bright inner surface produced by co-extrusion makes inspection particularly easy. Thanks to the firm bonding of the layers, they cannot separate


In order to protect the sewerage system from excess water during heavy rain, the water flow into the system must be controlled. Storm Water Storage Tanks protect the sewerage system, as the water is collected separately, stored for a period of time and released into the sewerage system at a controlled low rate.

Functional PrincipleStorm Water Storage

The Frank PKS™ Storm Water Retention Systems consist of three modules: inlet, storage tank and outlet.

The individual modules can be adjusted to suit the actual requirements and freely combined as needed.

We supply both Individual Modules as well as Turnkey Storm Water Tanks.

Inlet

Outlet

Wastewater/ Storm Water

Reservoir

Inlet Structure

The water is fed through the inlet structure to the reservoir. If required, the inlet structure can be used as a relief or emergency overflow.

Reservoir

The reservoir acts as a temporary storage tank for storm water. As our reservoirs come in a variety of sizes (up to DN 3500) and shapes, they fit any local site conditions and capacity requirements.

Outlet Structure

The storm water retained in the tank is released through the outlet structure into the sewerage system. In order to prevent any overload, the release is controlled by a throttle, a valve or a suitably small outlet pipe diameter.

Our Services

We assist you at every step in your project in order to implement the best possible Storm Water Tank for your specific requirements.

Advantages

• Advice from experienced experts and on site, hands-on assistance from our service technicians

• Dimensioning of tank and diameters for economical retention capacity

• Transportation cost optimised design already in the planning phase

• Short installation time thanks to pre-assembled pipelines, manifolds and other structures

• Cost optimisation by quick installation on sites where ground water level needs to be lowered temporarily

• Lightweight piping and components ensure easy handling, without heavy machinery

ReservoirsStorage. Retention.

We offer Storm Water Tanks up to DN 3500 that are customised to suit the required retention capacity and space available on site.

For fast installation, we pre-assemble the tank components at our factory.

Optimised Materials

Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tanks are made from top-grade PE and PP. The properties of these materials make them suitable for most applications.

On request, we equip our reservoirs with electrically conductive, anti-microbial or nonflammable inside layers.

PE / PP Tried and Tested. Highly Resistant. Durable.

For more than 50 years PE and PP have been the preferred materials for pipeline systems in chemical plants as well as gas and water supply networks. The material is not only resistant against most acids, alkaline substances and hydrocarbons, but also against communal sewage and industrial wastewater.

PE and PP also have excellent mechanical properties. Thanks to the extremely smooth surface structure (k = 0.007 mm), the abrasion rate is significantly lower than that of other conventional materials, even where the medium contains large amounts of solids.

The abrasion curves of pipe materials tested according to the Darmstadt method show clearly that PE and PP have the best long-term abrasion resistance.

Inlet StructuresBackflow Protection. Overflow Function.

Where possible the water is fed to the reservoir through a simple water intake. However, it is recommended to install a manhole.

Depending on the actual requirements, the inlet structures can be equipped with an overflow, an inspection manhole and shut-off devices.

Customised Solutions

Like all products available from Frank PKS™, our inlet structures can be customised at low costs to suit the actual requirements. They are also suitable to serve as multifunction units, for instance through the incorporation of overflow and preliminary cleaning systems, revision manholes and shut-off fittings installed at the factory.

Thanks to our range of preconfigured combinations, we are able to offer you tailor-made, yet cost-effective solutions.

We produce Pipes and Structures to DN2500 ID and capability to produce up to DN4200 ID*

Outlet StructuresControlled Outflow. Flow Reduction. Monitoring.

Outlet

The diameter of the outlet is determined by the permissible volumetric flow rate to the downstream sewerage system.

At its simplest, the outlet consists of a basic drain pipe.

Throttles

Throttle devices are designed to reduce the outflow of storm, grey and wastewater. These systems can be installed as wet or semi-dry fittings and ensure that the outflow rate is kept constant.

The design and dimensions are based on the actual installation and site conditions.

Valves

If required, shut-off valves can be equipped with electric actuators.

In this case, the shut-off valves are operated automatically through a control cabinet, an optional control device or by remote control from a process control system.

For fast and easy installation on site, all auxiliary equipment is fitted in advance at our factory.

Floor Level Outlet with Revision Chamber

Valve Manhole with Manual or Electronic Outflow Regulation

Throttle Manhole with Volume-Controlled Throttle for Constant Release Rate

The outlet structures control the outflow rate from the reservoir to the sewerage system to make sure that the capacity of the downstream infrastructure is not exceeded. At our factory, we adjust the Integrated Outlet Pipe to suit the downstream sewerage system. If required, we install additional control equipment such as Valves, Throttles and Flow Meters.


Optional EquipmentEliminating Debris. Preliminary Cleaning. Separation.

In order to prevent debris reaching the downstream pipelines, the Frank PKS™ Storm Water Tank can be equipped with strainers and other filtering equipment. We provide tailor-made solutions based on the expected particle load.

Overflow Manhole with Floating Baffle

Debris are retained by a machine-perforated pipe and a Floating Baffle. The Baffle rises along with the water level in the storm water channel, keeping debris in the reservoir. This prevents them from entering the downstream pipelines.

Cyclone Grit Separator

Depending on the debris load, the Floating Baffle might not be sufficient and additional systems are necessary.

In many cases, a Cyclone Grit Separator with Tangential Inlet and funnel-shaped outlet is the solution. In the separator, the water spins along the inside wall and down into the manhole.

The resulting vortex transports sand and fine gravel directly to the eye of the funnel where the particles are collected, pumped off or disposed of through a separate outlet.

The pre-cleaned storm water flows into the downstream pipeline or cistern. As the water level rises, the

Floating Baffle opens the passage to the over-flow manhole.
