I need to connect a 1"½ kitchen waste pipe to a drain but it will have to go at a slight uphill.

I have never had to deal with this before and I like advice on what best to use and model. I am aware that a macerator pump can be used?

any help welcome t. T
 
I think what you are looking for is a 'lifting station' rather than a macerator. Manufacturers, e.g. Saniflo, publish selection guides.

@rpm is very knowledgeable about this type of problem, so if you post a few more details, e.g. distances and height differences volumes of waste (domestic vs commercial kitchen?) I'd expect him to be able to give some specific models.
 
Can’t you drop it at all ?
 
I would say it is a distance of about 8 meters, and it has about a 300mm incline. This is domestic use hut on a small scale. The kitchen sink is mainly used to make drinks and wash hands. I am retricted to get a fall

If you can run a pipe vertically first then slope the pipe downward to the drain then something like the small Sanishower will do or the bigger Sanivite for certain will do the job.
