I'll let you in on a dirty secret about sanitation lines within buildings - The biggest concern is not about

how fast things are flying, it's about maintaining air pressure and providing adequate ventilation.

This guide presents a bit of a historical background to tall building design with respect to sanitation
system design. This presentation provides some more recent perspective and goes into some of the
research that is refining current building standards.

The traditional viewpoint is that waste forms an annular flow and has a terminal velocity in the range of 3
- 5 m/s. Current research casts some doubt on those assumptions. The contention is that drainage tends
not to be steady state. And with multiple streams contributing to the outflow, the actual velocity may vary.

But as mentioned, the real concern is making sure the air flow balances out and that water traps don't
blow. People aren't as concerned about what happens to the waste on its way out so long as they don't
have to smell the process.

Typically, for tall buildings, a secondary vent stack is used to provide adequate ventilating air to the
fixtures in use. Current building codes in the US and UK specify sufficiently wide drainage pipe such that
sufficient balancing air flow will always be available. The second presentation I linked goes into detail
regarding different drain pipe sizes and considerations for very tall buildings such as skyscrapers.

The secondary provides sufficient air ventilation so that water traps at the lower levels don't get blown
out by the pressure waves generated from drainage coming from the upper floors.

Another approach that's used is to separate the different building levels into different drainage zones.
This allows for smaller diameter pipe to be used while minimizing the risk that lower level water traps will
get blown out from upper level drainage.

And yet another approach that's used is the use of "Positive Air Pressure Attenuators" (PAPA) such as
the following.
Note, this happens to be just one vendors product portfolio. Other vendors for these devices exist.

One challenge with PAPAs is that their status with current building codes in tall buildings is unclear. I
personally have installed PAPAs in my residence and can attest to their abilities. However, building
codes are understandably slow to update and the long term reliability of PAPAs need to be
demonstrated. Again, from my own experience, using PAPAs requires modifying the system design from
traditional approaches and requires additional considerations.

The draw back with the Studor Single Pipe System is very apparent to me. PAPAs aside (they can be
used on a dual line drainage systems) there is no separation of Grey water from Black.

When the Black (waste) line gets clogged up you will be walking in that waste in your shower. The use
of a single line drain is very un-sanitary period!

It's amazing that the Mexicans use a single line without venting even though the public drainage system
hasn't been installed. All of their Hospitals are built this way! Very un-sanitary.

The story of "SHIT" is that the second "SHIT" will eat the first "SHIT". The volume of "SHIT" will never
gain until you add water to it period!

Minimalizing the water in the waste/cess-pit involves venting it for evaporation purposes & reducing the
volume of water that allows the "SHIT" to gain in volume.

The amount of water needed in the "Crapper" (the tank behind the toilet) becomes the issue to produce
the "scouring" affect that you prescribed for cleaning the line. Evaporating the access water at the
waste/cess/systern/pit should be the key issue. Not dumping it into a public drainage system that
inevitably deposits it into the ocean or water table. Waste itself can be great fertilizer.

In Skyscraper construction there should be 4 lines. 1 for grey water drainage & venting, 2 for waste
drainage & venting, 3 for venting the waste systern (very large cess-pit) & 4 for venting the grey water
systern before it overflows into the public water system or onsite RO unit (reverse osmosis plant). They
should all go to above roof level, though some have the systerns in a wing far less high than the original
skyscraper those reductions in height of the venting adds up to back pressure problems. They need to
be equal in height & diameter.

Cross venting from the Grey water line to the Black water line has been the norm & has been sustained
with a street-t & costly reducers for many years. Clean outs on every floor to facilitate plumber access
with snakes at waste height in the wall with street-t's also prove that water & waste do not reach
terminal velocity even when the water falls from a hundred feet up, the diameter being the key.

I see the two lines being separate completley & marked so. Pinching pennies on the plumbing system is
guaranteed to prevent property appreciation & very un-sanitary environmental conditions. Maybe also
enhancing the likelihood of Humankind's predictable demise, drowning in their own "SHIT".
