Buoyancy Control Guidance
MAY 2019
ffi-FrLr*olgfi'
Belore you Begin
This document presents a mothod for assessing buoyancy control
needs for lnliltrator Water Technologies (lnfiltrator) lM-Serles
tanks. Tank buoyancy control measures must be implemented
according to state and/or local regulations and approvals, which
may supersede these guidelines. lf unsure of the requirements for
a particular site, contact the local health department or permitting
authority.
lf tank buoyancy control measures are implemented, refer to
lnfiltrator lM-Series Tank lnstallation lnstructions and Riser
Connection Guidance documents, as applicable, for completing the
installation.
How to Use this Document
1. Using Step 1 , Table 1 , and Figures 1 and 2, verify that the level of
uninterrupted saturated soil is below the height of the outlet pipe
saddle and determine if buoyancy control is required.
2. Use the approprlale row in Step 2, Table 2 to determine the minimum
buoyancy control mothods for the site conditions.
3, Once the preferred buoyancy conkol method is selected, follow the
implenrentation procedures provided in Step 3.
Step 1 - Delermine Need lor Buoyancy Control
Required information: (1) maxlmum helght of uninterrupted saturated soil
above the tank bottom; and (2) the depth of soil cover above the tank top,
Tank buoyancy control may be required if:
. the level of uninterrupted saturated soil outside the tank has the
potential to rise 30 inches (750 mm) or more above the bottom of the
tank; and
. less than 12 inches (300 mm) of soil cover is to be placed as backfill
over the tank top.
NO BUOYANCY CONTROL IS REQUIRED IF THERE ARE AT LEAST
12 TNCHES (300 MM) OF SOIL COVER ABOVE THE TANK TOP.

Table 1 lnstructions
1. ln the lefFhand column of Table 1 , locate the row corrosponding to the
height of the uhinterrupted saturated soil elevation outside the tank and
above ths tank bottom (Parameter l) for the site conditions. See Figure 2.
2. Follow that row to th€ right until reaching the column corresponding to
the depth of soil cover above the tank top (Parameier ll). See Figure 2.
3. lf the tank model is listed in that cell, then buoyancy control is required
(proceed to Step 2). lf the tank model is not listed in that cell, then no
buoyancy control is required.
4. lM-Series tanks shall not be installed where the uninterrupted saturated
soil level outside the tank exceeds the height of the outlet pipe saddle.

3. lM'Series tanks shall not b6 installed where the unlnterrupted saturated soil
outside the tank €xceeds tho height of the outlet pipe saddle. See Figure 1.
For lndiana installations, if the depth of uninterrupted saturated soil conditions
cannot bo determined from the $it€ soil evaluation roport or oiher sito-related
data and other information indicates the possible presence of a perched ground
wat€r table, no buoyancy controls are requlred.

Step 2 - Determine Buoyancy Gontrol Method
Step 2 is used if the Step 1 analysis shows that buoyancy control is required for thg tank model and installation conditions. The site-specific maximum
height of uninterrupted saturated soil outsido of tho tank and above the tank bottom and the depth of soil cover above the tank top must be known to
complete Step 2,
Table 2 lnstructions
For the appropriate tank model, select the desired buoyancy control method under each melhod description column. Refer to Step 3 - lmplementation and
Compatible Devices and Products sections of this document for additional iniormation on the buoyancy control methods shown in Table 2.
Table 2: Buoyancy Control Method Selection
NOTES:
1. See Supplemental Downward Force discussion below
2. lM-Serios outlet pipe saddle height is 43 inches (1,075 mm) above tank bottom (see Figure 1).
Supplemental Downward Force
The minimum supplemenlal downward force required is included in Table 2 to allow custom buoyancy control methods, These values include a factor of
safety of 1.5 applied to the calculated downward force required to restrain the tank. Custom-designed buoyancy control methods shall conservatively
consider saturated soil conditions from the bottom-of-tank elevation to ground surface. As long as buoyancy control is provided that supplies ihe minimum
downward force listed in the table (for poured-concrete blocks or other methods designed by third parties), the tanks are calculated to be stable for the
uninterrupted saturated soil level outside the tank and above the tank bottom and corresponding soil cover conditions. All lnfiltrator strapping and fastening
recommendations apply for custom-designed buoyancy control methods. Contact lnfiltrator's Technical Services Department with any questions regarding
supplemental downward force requirements,
Step 3 - lmplementation
Etfective buoyancy control of lnfiltrator tanks requires careful preparation,
thorough excavation, precise placement, secure strapping and proper
backlilling, as described and illustrated below.
Figuro 3: Plan View
I
I I
Excavalion Bequirements
It is recommended that the excavation width provide a minimum of 36
inches (900 mm) cloarance beyond the tank on all sides when utilizing
buoyancy control. This will allow sufficient space within the excavation to
place anchoring equipment and fasten strapping. The excavation should
provide a minimum 48-inch (1,200 mm) clearance beyond the tank when
using ChancerM No-Wrench Screw Anchors to allow for room to properly
install the screw anchors. The actual excavation size shall be determined
by the installer. Refer to lnfiltrator lM-Series Tank lnstallation lnstructions
for additional excavation procedures.
Concrete-filled Half Pipe Gonstruction
Concrete-filled half pipe shall be supported with soil or other stabilizing
means below the pipe haunches prior to concrete placement. The
stabilization shall prevent the pipe from rolling during placement and curing
of the concrete. Cotrcrete shall be allowed to cure for a minimum of one
day prior to tank backfilling.
Placement of Deadmen and Anchors
Concreto deadman anchors are to be installed at the bottom of the tank
excavation, parallel to the long axis of the lank (see Figure 3).
6'MIN EXTENSION IVIN EXTENSION
The deadrnen should be placed close to, but not touching, the tank on
both sides of the tank to allow the placement of trackflll between the
deadman anchor and tank sidewall (see Figure 4).

$tep 3 - lmplementation continued
Helical anchors should be installed so that the eye loop is level with the
bottom of the tank excavation. They must be in lirre with the tank model
strapping locations (see Figuro 5) or lifting lugs, as appropriate. Anchors
must also be installed at such a distance from and angle to the tank 9o that
the strapping is within 5o of alignment with tho anchor shaft per the anchor
manufactu rer's recommendations.

CONCRETE COLLAR
Strapping
Proper installation of straps over the tank is critical for tank stability under
changing condiiions both inside and outside the tank' Straps must be
placed at the specified strapping locations for each model, as illustrated
in Figure 5. Strapping locations are embossed on the exterior surface
of the tank with the following text: "SHIPPING/ANTI'BUOYANCY STHAP
HERE." The lM-Series tank strapping locations correspond to structurally
reinforced areas of the tank body. Straps must never be placed over
access openings, lids, or inlet/outlet piping. (Straps must be tightened with
a ratchet or turnbuckle system to remove slack and slightly pre-load the
system).
Strapplng Notesr
1, The buoyancy conirol shall be conterod acroso the straps (excludes hellcal
anchors). The control shall extend a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm) beyond the
maximum strap width (s6e Flgures 3 and 5).
2. The minimum d6adman length corresponds to the tank model-specific strap
width plus 12 inches (300 mm).
Parts and Supplies
The parts and supplies necessary are to be purchased separately from the
tank. All parts and supplies are either commercially available or available
through lnfiltrator's network of tank distributors, Some parts may require
fabricatiolr on site using common construction practicos,
General Specifications
Compatible Oevices and Product$
lnfiltrator tanks are compatible with the following products for buoyancy
control:
. Tie-down straps: high-tensile-strength, 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) minimum

Tie-Down $traps
Straps are commercially
available in varying
lengths and with
assorted hardware
and tightoning options,
Nylon or polyester strapping with minimum 8,000 lb (3,650 kg) capacity is
required for buoyancy control use with lnfiltrator tanks. Place straps over
the tank at specified locations only (see Figure 5). (Tighten straps snugly
with a ratchet or turnbuckle system to remove all slack and slightly pre-
Ioad the systsm). All connections, littings, and hardware must be corrosion
resistant or coated with epoxy or other corrosion-rosistant matorial6 to
inhibit deterioration in the subsurface environment. Consider encapsulating
such components in heat-shrink tubing or applying a corrosion-resistant
coating prior to burial.
Goncrete Deadmen Anchors
Recommended concr€te deadmen anchors include filled plastic half pipe,
precast parking burnpers and traffic barriers, and precast blocks. The
weight ot the deadmen anchors combined with the weight of soil above
thom provides buoyancy conlrol when properly secured. D€admen anchors
are placed at the bottom of the tank excavation on opposite sides of the
tank. The deadmen anchors are fastened to each other with iie-down
straps placed over the tank at the locations specilied for each tank model
(see Figure 5).

Using a Pump Curve
A puntp curre helps you determine the best pump for your system, Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or Usec) and pressure
(total dynamic head, orTDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump's optimal perforn'rance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
flow rate - the value, measurecl in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an 0renco pump nontenclature, The graphs in this section show
optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line, Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line, For the ntost accurale
pump specification, use Orenco's PumpSelect'' software,

0renco Automatic Distrihuting F
Valve ASSemblieS n:3$3r*t'"'"'"
1.800.348.9843
For Wastewater Effluent Systems
Introduction
Orenco's automatic distributing valve assemblies, plessurized with small high-head effluent
pumps, are useftil for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter rnanifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems, Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially sinplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve asseln-
bly is used instead of rnultiple pumps andior electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
re{uction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
and/or number ol'pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal clevations. This elitrinates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution ofeffluent that occurs at the beginning ofa cyclc.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Rel'er to Figure I fbr the fbllowing valve operation descliption. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk O to seat against the valve bottom @.
The opening O irr the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet, The stem @ houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away fi'om the valve bottom atter the flow of ef'fluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam @. The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless stecl spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion ol'the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rolate hall'the distance
llcccssary to reach the rrcxt outlet. When there is no flow, the rubbcr flap disk is in thc "up"
position and is not seatcd against the valve bottom.

The Distributing Valve Assembly
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assernbly combines tl're distributiug valvc itself and sevcr-
al other components to give a cornplete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, atrd main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly, Elecause distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow renroval and maintettattce of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quick, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessaly on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section,
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assernbly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changes in direction. Because of'this, headlosses through the valve assembly are thirly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several difftrent assemblics and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equatiolts. Orenco recommends that high-head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize the valve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation, I{igh-head
turbine pumps are also recomrnended because the use of a distributing valve usually rcquires more
frequent pump cycling. The highJtead tulbine pumps are designed for high cycling systerl'rs and will
outlast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of l0 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high-head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tencls to
prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
tiorr. A minimum flow rate llrrough the distlibuting valve is required to ensure proper seatirrg ol the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various modcls are givcn in Tablc 1.

The Pumping System
Although the distributing valve was designed lbr the irrigation industry, it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptarrce in the effluent pumping industry. HoweveL, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids fi'om reaching the distributing valve that
rnay impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube"'Pump Vaults * when properly sized and
installed - provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biorubeu'pump vault
accepts eflluent only fiom the clear zone between a tank's scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valvc has very littlc chancg of reliable long-term operation.

Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very iruportant
for propcr valvc operation. Thc rnost rcliablc opcratiotl occurs whcn thc valvc is placcd at the high
point in thc systcm and as closc to thc purnp as possiblc. The transport linc bctwcen the pump and
valve should bc kcpt full if possiblc. If the linc is empty at the beginning of cach cyclc, pockets of
air during lilling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is parlicularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation witlr ernpty lirres that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately fbllowing the
valve and a pressule release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a rcturn line to the dosing tank or to a "minidrainfield" near the valt'e.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber llap disk to return to its up position, In mauy cases, it may take I'r'om one
minute to scvcral minutcs for thc prcssure in thc valvc to bc lowcred cnough for propcr rotation tcr
occur. Special care should bc takcn when installing systems controlled by programmable timcrs to
ensure cycling does not occur too rapidly, Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the lransporl line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. [f the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, randorn cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Relbr to the Hyclrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly lbr the
scquelcing of the valvc outlcts. Thc transport linc should always bc flushcd with clean water bcforc
insialling ihc yalr'e. Any sand, gravcl, or other forcign objccts that may have bccn in thc pipe during
installation can easily become lodged in the distributing valve, causing rnalfunction,
With the pump running, alterrrately close aud open the ball vaive on the distributing valve assetnbly
to check proper rotation of the vah'e. (Note: lf check valves are used otr the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the purnp may need to be turned on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line fbr irrdication of which zone is operating.

Tfoubleshooting
L PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet
CAUSE:The stem ancl disk assembly is rrot rotatiug when water flow is turned off and then
back on.
SOLUTION l: Ensure that there is no debris inside the oam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam'
SOLUTION 2: Il'lbwer than the maximum number ol outlets ale being used, check the installation
of the carn. Ensurc that the stcm and disk assembly is not bcing hcld down by an
impropcrly installed cam. Rcfcr to thc cam rcplaccmcnt instructiotls.

SOLUTION 3
SOLUTION 4:
SOLUTION 5:
SOLUTION 6:
Remove the valve top and check lbr proper movement o1'stem and disk assernbly.
Chcck for and removc any dcbris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
rnovement of thc disk,
Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom olvalve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
The backflow of water frorn uphill lines may be preventing the valve fi'om cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated [ine.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a che ck valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line thal runs uphill liom the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
2, PROIILEM: Watcr comcs out of all thc valvc outlcts
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly nol seating properly on valve outlet.
SOLUTION l: Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table L
SOLUTION 2: Remove the valve top and check the iruide walls to ensure that nothing is interlbring
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing z<lnes are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlcts or zonos
CAUSE;Pumping into an cmpty transport linc - especially dor,vnhill - may cause the valve
to skip outlels from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap dislt to raise during a
cyclc.
SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full.
SOLUTION 2: If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets f}om fbrming.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assernbly is being advanced past the desired outlet,
SOLUTION l: Ensure that the correct cam tbr the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to thc correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers ot'l the top of the cam.

General
0rencos Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanlcally operated and sequentially redlrect the
pumps flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field. Valve acluation ls accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on large sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six-line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
Orenco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conJunction with High-Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube" Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requiremenls, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ball valve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to mainlain and monitor. ldeal

These instructions are for use with GeoMat'M Leaching System
Put a 2 x 6 that is at least as long as the pipe
on the ground or saw horses for use as a
levelsurface.
Place the pipe on the 2 x 6 with one shield
at each end of the pipe to secure it from
rotation during orifice and shield
orientation marking, be sure to remove
these shields when pipe is complete.
Measure and mark position of orifice on the
top of the pipe, per design specification.
Snap a shield on directly beneath each
orifice mark.
Mark the edge of each shield on at least one
side, as shown, and mark the exact top of
the pipe. This marking will allow the shield
to be properly oriented.
Drill pipe per design specification.
Be sure to clean shavings/debris out of hole'
Rotate shields 180 degrees to cover orifice.
The edge of the shield should be aligned
with the edge mark as shown. The shield
should be rotated such that the flat surface
and the top orientation mark are both in the
12 O'clock position. This should result in
the shield positioned directly over the
orifice.
Generously apply Premier brand One-Step
Pipe Cement Multi-Purpose Clear, or equal,
to the surfaces where the shield and pipe
meet. The use of a foam brush will help with
this; the round applicator is not effective.
Let glue sufficiently dry before rough
handling and/or sliding into GeoMat.
Note the above steps are intended to prevent shields
from moving around during insertion into 6eoMat;
not for rough hondling. When better ddhesion is
necessary, for trdnsportation, etc' use PVC primer
and solvent cement on oll surfaces where the pipe
and shield touch and then snap on shield in correct
locotion.
