Pat and Frank (and anyone that cares about sewer cleaning in Paris), this is the response i received from SITA: Att. Teddy xxxx.my name here.jr As far as I know, these systems are used to clean only circular sewers. The ball may be either of wood, either of iron. a) the ball float on the water level and goes downwards, rolling on the top generatrix of the sewer. the effuents on the bottom are accelerated and the sediments disorganised and pushed ahead. b) the ball rolls on the bottom and disturb the sediments whicht start to lay on the bottom of the sewer. Energy come from the difference of level of water back and front the ball, and from rhe venturi effect of restriction of section of effluent flow. In theory, the movement of the ball may be almost continuous, but in fact, there are lots of possible accidents ont the travel: Accelerations due to change of the slope, curves, etc. and different obstacles due to the things which the ball encounter in the flow. I believe it is bettrer to be carefull. To get further and more precise informations, you should ask the SIAAP, Syndicat Intercommunal d'Assainissement de l'Agglom‚ration parisienne, owner of the networkof the area, and la Direction des Services Techniques d'Assainissement de la Ville de Paris, who is the the operator of the netwok for Paris. I hope thes informations will help you. ---------------------- Envoy‚ par Jean-Jacques LE GAL/HQ/FR/SITA/SLE le 12/04/2000 08:03 --------------------------- Isabelle ROBIN 10/04/2000 09:05 Pour : Jean-Jacques LE GAL/HQ/FR/SITA/SLE@SITA cc : Paul MITCHENER/Corporate/SITA/SLE@SITA Objet : sewer system cleaning in Paris, France Bonjour, Isabelle Vendeuvre m'a conseill‚ de vous faire suivre ce message afin de le transmettre aux personnes concern‚es.
