The Smart Green Future of Sewage Collection


Vacuum Sewerage Systems are a low cost, environmentally friendly solution for counties, communities and residential developers. Replacing or installing sewerage infrastructure in difficult and expensive areas (primarily coastal areas with a high-water table). Sewage flows from a group of houses via gravity to a collection point in the street. From there, the Flovac vacuum collection system takes over. Transporting all sewage quickly and efficiently to the treatment plant with no leaks.

Vacuum sewers can be installed quickly and with minimal excavation saving up to 30% on capital costs. By keeping stormwater and ground water out of the sewer system, operational costs and electricity use is significanly lower. A fully monitored system can also reduce operational time and risks.

Vacuum sewerage systems are widely accepted in over 40 countries. Weigh up what is important to you and it will become obvious why Flovac is receiving such wide acceptance.

Flovac is the largest designer, supplier and operator of vacuum sewer systems worldwide.
