Wastewater pump station venting system and method

A wastewater pump station venting system, comprising:

• at least one wastewater discharge conduit;
• a wastewater pump station having a station interior disposed in fluid communication with the wastewater discharge conduit, the station interior including a lower station interior portion and an upper station interior portion above the lower station interior portion;
• at least one fresh air inlet conduit disposed in fluid communication with the lower station interior portion of the station interior;
• at least one gas vent conduit having a vent conduit inlet segment disposed in fluid communication with the upper station interior portion of the station interior and a vent conduit outlet segment disposed in fluid communication with the vent conduit inlet segment, the gas vent conduit adapted to convey a stream of gas/air mixture;
• at least one vent air inlet conduit disposed in fluid communication with the gas vent conduit between the vent conduit inlet segment and the vent conduit outlet segment, the vent air inlet conduit disposed at an acute angle relative to the vent conduit inlet segment and an obtuse angle relative to the vent conduit outlet segment;
• at least one vent fan disposed in the vent air inlet conduit, the vent fan isolated from the stream of gas/air mixture in the gas vent conduit;
• and
• at least one power source electrically interfacing with the vent fan.

A wastewater pump station venting system, comprising:

• at least one wastewater discharge conduit, the wastewater discharge conduit conveys a stream of wastewater,
• a wastewater pump station having a station interior disposed in fluid communication with the wastewater discharge conduit, the station interior including a lower station interior portion and an upper station interior portion above the lower station interior portion, the lower station interior portion contains a quantity of wastewater from the stream of wastewater;
• at least one fresh air inlet conduit disposed in fluid communication with the lower station interior portion of the station interior, the fresh air inlet conduit extending vertically through the station interior and having a fresh air conduit discharge end disposed in fluid communication with the lower station interior portion of the station interior, the fresh air inlet conduit conveys a stream of fresh air into the lower station interior portion;
• at least one vertical gas vent conduit having a vent conduit inlet segment disposed in fluid communication with the upper station interior portion of the station interior and a vent conduit outlet segment disposed in fluid communication with the vent conduit inlet segment, the gas vent conduit conveys a stream of gas/air mixture resulting from mixing of the stream of wastewater and the stream of fresh air from the station interior;
• at least one vent air inlet conduit disposed in fluid communication with the gas vent conduit between the vent conduit inlet segment and the vent conduit outlet segment, the vent air inlet conduit disposed at an acute angle relative to the vent conduit inlet segment and an obtuse angle relative to the vent conduit outlet segment, the vent air inlet conduit conveys a stream of vent air into the vent conduit outlet segment of the gas vent conduit;
• the stream of vent air induces reduced pressure in the vent conduit inlet segment of the gas vent conduit and the station interior and the reduced pressure generates and draws the stream of gas/air mixture from the station interior into and through the gas vent conduit;
• a fan conduit disposed in fluid communication with the vent air inlet conduit;
• a fan housing disposed in fluid communication with the fan conduit;
• at least one vent fan disposed in the fan housing, the vent fan isolated from the stream of gas/air mixture in the gas vent conduit and the vent fan generates the stream of vent air through the fan conduit and the vent air inlet conduit, respectively;
• and
• at least one power source electrically interfacing with the vent fan.
