Abstract

A method of reducing the fluid flow friction loss of fluid waste materials in the conduits of sanitary sewer systems while at the same time maintaining the solid materials in the fluid in a flowable condition by introducing into a sewer system about 1 to about 10,000 ppm of an aqueous solution of a partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide polymer having a preselected average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution.
