Flovac Vacuum Sewerage Systems | Sewerage Infrastructures

Flovac is redefining wastewater management, championing vacuum sewer technology as the future of wastewater collection. We believe vacuum systems are not just an alternative but the optimal solution for communities facing challenges with traditional gravity and septic sewer systems. Vacuum sewerage is the key to a more sustainable, efficient, and adaptable infrastructure, particularly in areas with sensitive environments, flat terrain, or high-water tables.

As leaders in environmental engineering, Flovac is at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced systems like real-time monitoring to ensure superior performance, efficiency, and reliability. Our stance is clear: vacuum sewers have a vital role in meeting the world’s growing demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure.

With our expertise and commitment to innovation, Flovac is empowering communities to transition to smarter, greener wastewater solutions—shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future for everyone.

GREEN SEWAGE SYSTEMS.

1.

Vacuum Systems Don’t Suck.

A difference in pressure assists air to blow small quantities of sewage towards the vacuum pump station.

2.

Low Power Use.

Vacuum systems use less power than pumping systems and power is only required at a single point in the entire network. This creates an opportunity to run the entire system on solar power.

3.

Efficient Water Use.

Only small bursts of sewage move along the piping network based on pressure differential. This water efficient design can contribute to water conservation efforts and reduce the strain on local water resources.

4.

Ease of Maintenance.

The entire network can be monitored by an operations centre. This allows for predictive failure analysis, troubleshooting and importantly the ability to pinpoint any infiltration from stormwater or groundwater.

5.

Flexible Installation.

There’s no need for manholes for any change of direction. Vacuum mains go around, under or over any obstacles that are found in the ground during installation.

6.

Sewerage Can Travel Uphill.

Vacuum systems can be installed in areas that are flat or even have slight inclines. This makes it ideal for coastal communities.

7.

The Best Environmental Solution.

Vacuum mains cannot leak sewage from their pipes due to negative pressure in the lines. This also means that groundwater cannot enter the piping network as all pipes are sealed.

8.

It’s a Safe system.

Homes are not directly connected to the vacuum source, but residents sewage flows via gravity to a collection pit which houses a vacuum interface valve. Residents can’t be sucked into the sewer.

Our Clients Say…

Operating any sewage system involves challenges, but the task is easier when you are working with a reliable partner like Flovac Polska sp. z.o.o. We know we can always count on the company’s help in terms of design, implementation and operation.

Marek Jędrysik, President/CEO - Miejska Spółka Komunalna

Flovac Monitoring “We’re able to know where we have a problem, sometimes even before we get an alarm from our vacuum station auto-dialer.”

William CoxLead Wastewater Plant Operator, Apalachicola

Flovac Monitoring “The guys went directly to the pod and replaced the controller. Before, they would have to isolate the line, operate the valves, and check each pod ’til they found the problem.”

Chuck Martin WWRT Maintenance Coordinator , JEA

“Vacuum has proved over a long period that it’s a good engineering option, and that’s why it is now being expanded to new residential developments in the Auckland region.”

Simon PorterFormer head of Service Delivery, Watercare Services

Flovac Monitoring “The whole reason we have our wastewater district is to care for our delicate ecosystem here in The Keys. Monitoring is something we take seriously.”

Nick RodriguezBoard of Commissioners, Florida Keys Wastewater District

Flovac Monitoring “We’re able to generate 30-day reports of when pits are firing, the levels, and overlay the rain data. This has transformed our approach to proactive system management

Carl GiffordSuperintendent, Miles Crossing Sanitary District

“Flovac’s system has set a new standard for residential developments in the Christchurch region. It has delivered on its promise of reliability and resilience.”

Bob SmithNgai Tahu Property

“The community will get a state-of-the-art, aesthetically pleasing building within a parkland setting. The Flovac system has resulted in easier delivery of land to the market—a win for all concerned.”

Adam GowlettQueensland State Manager, Satterley Property Group

Flovac Monitoring “The biggest advantage to having an ongoing flow monitoring program is the ability to quickly identify infiltration.”

Tim WarthanYork County Public Works

“Council is pleased to acknowledge the expertise and support of Flovac and their vacuum sewerage system. As the designers and the suppliers of the system Flovac have proven to Warumbungle Shire council that the vacuum system is an extremely robust and reliable municipal sewerage system”
