In a move that reaffirms the company’s commitment to supporting its customer base with high-quality technical information, Aliaxis UK is pleased to announce the launch of a new CPD, which focuses on Active Drainage Ventilation.
Particularly suited to high-rise residential and commercial buildings, Active Drainage Ventilation is a means of managing air pressure within a building’s soil and waste drainage system. Eliminating the need for roof penetrations and secondary venting, Active Drainage Ventilation works to provide relief at the ‘point of need’ by removing or reducing an incoming positive or negative pressure within a drainage system. In turn, such solutions can help to mitigate the risks of trap seal depletion, protecting against odorous smells and the potential for cross-contamination of sewer-borne pathogens or infection spread.
Fully backed by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), the new CPD from Aliaxis UK focusses on a number of key areas associated with this important topic. The CPD discusses the types of systems used to manage water and air, ways to manage trap seals and the effect of loss, as well as the benefits of Active Drainage Ventilation. For specifiers, contractors and MEP engineers, the presentation also provides detailed guidance on Positive Air Pressure Attenuator and formulas to produce space-saving calculations.
Speaking on the new release, Adam Gatrell, Technical Specification Consultant at Aliaxis UK commented:
“There has perhaps never been a better time to launch this important CPD program, with the topic of indoor air quality having become even more relevant in recent months. As increasing attention is paid to how we can provide our building’s occupants with a clean, hygienic and comfortable environment, our new Active Drainage Ventilation CPD works to highlight what can be done in this respect from a drainage point of view.
“We hope that the CPD will provide participants with an understanding of how these solutions can help to deliver an effective drainage system and also contribute to the creation of a healthy indoor environment.”
Recognised as a global expert in fluid management solutions, Aliaxis UK offers the Studor P.A.P.A system as its Active Drainage Ventilation solution. Installed in conjunction with the Maxi-Vent and Mini-Vent air admittance valves, it offers an advanced level of control, working to combat each individual pressure change within the wider drainage system.
