Imagine this… you can know where and when stormwater enters your system plus know exactly where in a system you need to go at 2 in the morning when there’s a call out, or if you need to go out at all. What’s more, imagine that you understand exactly where to tune your sewerage system to get the lowest energy costs. Flovac’s remote monitoring of its vacuum sewerage system does it.
Flovac’s monitoring system highlights exactly why vacuum systems are starting to be the preferred sewer systems, even in areas where gravity-fed systems may be cheaper. Assets managers want control, and they want to know what is happening in their system. And Flovac can deliver on this.
Imagine remotely changing the settings on your system to accommodate peak holiday events like the 4th of July or New Year’s Eve? Or to better handle severe storms and hurricanes from the safety of your home or desk? All of this is now possible.
Flovac’s innovative monitoring system user-focussed design, and product improvements, have reduced the problems that plagued many vacuum systems sold in the seventies and eighties.
A key challenge for operators is keeping track of what’s going wrong when callouts to a system are infrequent. Sewerage system operators want to rapidly know where a problem is, what the problem is and how to deal with it.
Asset Managers also need a clearer understanding of the performance of their sewerage system assets. They want the answers to questions like these. Do the operators need better training? Do assets need replacing or upgrading? What are the energy costs?
Sewer operators need and want to know;
Flovac’s monitoring system answers all these questions. It gives the right insights at the right time, resulting in more efficient management and operational savings.
All of Flovac’s operators love the convenience of getting all of the system’s operational information that they need directly to their smart phones.
This means that when they get an alarm, they know immediately what’s going on, how quickly they need to get there, and what they’re likely to find. They also find it extremely useful to be able to see what the vacuum pressure is at the VPS when they are out in the field.
The installation of a monitoring system, either via cable or wireless, can reduce operational costs by 30-50{f2ac4d1e1d40dc2e2d9280a1dfa90d854b2d8c80eba743affa37fc4ce2e16def} in certain systems, giving a payback period for the capital costs of less than 3 years.
The Flovac monitoring system is able to be implemented onto other suppliers’ valves. If you’d like more information or a presentation about the monitoring system and its compatibility with your vacuum system please contact your closest Flovac office.
