Hybrid drainage based on the Ecolift principle

The Ecolift M hybrid lifting station is typically used in private residential construction, particularly in detached and semi-detached houses. The flow rate (Qs) should not exceed 3 l/s.

 The KESSEL Ecolift M is designed for continuous drainage pipes in accordance with DIN EN 12056-4/13564 Type 3, to which waste water pipes as well as toilet and urinal systems are connected. This ensures reliable drainage from discharge points below the backwater level, even during a backflow event.

The pump operates only during backwater and conveys the waste water against the backwater via a pressure pipe, which must be routed above the backwater level, into the sewer. During backwater-free operation, the waste water is discharged into the sewer via the natural gradient.

Ecolift M is not a rat protection system! In the event of a potential rat infestation, the system must be protected against damage on site.

The following is required for the unit to operate correctly:

• a sufficient gradient in the drain pipes (Note: The Ecolift M has a 9 mm gradient between the inlet and drain)
• a high water content in the waste water to optimise the self-cleaning effect
• correct installation and, above all, venting of the inlet pipe in accordance with DIN EN 12056 / DIN 1986-100

Please note: Grease wastewater requires increased maintenance and cleaning!

The Ecolift L hybrid lifting station is particularly suitable for use in apartment buildings with high wastewater volumes, as well as in commercial settings, e.g. for wastewater disposal downstream of grease separators. The wastewater flow rate Qs must not exceed 6 l/s. 

The Ecolift L can be installed in an exposed drainage pipe. To maintain a natural gradient, it can also be mounted at a higher level on a Wall bracket. In backflow-free operation, the waste water is discharged into the sewer via the natural gradient. The pumps operate only during a backwater event, pumping the waste water against the backwater into the sewer. 

When routing the pressure pipe, there is a choice between connecting to a backwater loop or discharging directly back into the waste water pipe downstream of the backflow preventer (bypass system). 

The Ecolift XL is the largest and most powerful hybrid lifting station. It is ideal for commercial buildings and apartment blocks with high wastewater flow rates (Qs) of more than 6 l/s. 

KESSEL Ecolift XL backwater lifting stations for commercial and industrial use are designed for continuous drainage pipes for sewage to which waste water pipes as well as toilet and urinal systems are connected. This ensures reliable drainage from discharge points below the backwater level, even during a backflow.
