Sewerage Vacuum System
Sewerage Vacuum System
(OP)
anyone has a good source of information on this topic
this a system for waste water collection by sucking the waste water to your plant rather that gravitate it or pump it. it is mainly for flat or difficult terrain with low flow areas.
An actual project design report , sketches ,drawings would be most valuable and appreciated.

Good luck

I would also recommend that they be involved in assistance of the vacuum pipe installation. It can save a lot of headaches and potential problems.
RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
There are many considerations that designers do not take into account when developing these systems, which in the end will not bode well for the Owner or you as a design company.
You can contact me direct at (780)573-1884 and we can set up a conference call or arrange a meeting.

I would highly reccomend AIRVAC. Here in Australia, they install the majority of Vacuum Sewage systems. True they are sellers, but they really know their stuff. Plus it would seem that they have the best vacuum sewage valve on the market (very reliable, with good solids handling).
Good Luck,

RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
I presume you are in the initial stages of the design of your effluent collection system. Considering the other available options for these systems, have you firstly exhausted the other available options?
Maintenance and operation of a vacuum sewer system is firstly expensive and secondly time consuming as opposed to a gravity system or positive pressure system. Of particular concern is the valve itself and some problems they have with domestic sewage. The design, while improved, have not really changed much over the years and when the fail, they usually fail open causing a loss of vacuum on the the system, which forces the station pumps to continuously operate.
I have extensive experience with the Airvac system, and find they have a good product....it's the philosophy of a vacuum system over other systems that carries much debate.

Vacuum as opposed to pumping and using the traditional risers is a reasonable plan B however air leakage through frames, covers and low integrity piping will determine viability in the long run.
RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
The system is very energy efficient in operation and cost effective in maintainable parts. I would be more than happy to assist with any information you may need.
Hope this helps
RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
They take care of the design of a vacuum sewerage system which is the most important to have a proper working system.
RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
We have accumulator and 2 foul and 2 vac pumps.
We also have a biosphore rotating drum attached.
If I were you I would monitor the vac alarm but make the wells placed at each valve large enough so that if the system alarms for low vac then it can be dealt with at a lower priority and not out of hours.
Another advantage of the system is that you can control the amount of surface water you take into the system saving energy in treatment and transport.
Hope that helps.

- ps... If anyone has any energy saving ideas for this type of system please let me know.

Low pressure sewage systems seem to be the flavour of the month for low lying flat areas.

RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
i have had many dealings with vaccuum sewage systems and when new are generally good however as settleent in the suround ground occurs potential problems can start when joins spring. A recent system that was installed at a local health and fitness centre wasremoved after 2 years due to regular failures and problems. Be careful is all i can say, the principle is OK but the long term whole life costs can be hi

RE: Sewerage Vacuum System
Was the specific problem you mentioned some inherent problem of the vacuum sewer concept, or instead some problem with the specific installation/piping/joints chosen for its implementation in that case? If the problem was with joints of pipe, what kind of pipe/joints were used?
