Bilfinger Airvac Water Technologies Inc. has in excess of thirty years of experience and holds numerous patents derived from the application of vacuum wastewater technologies for municipal and industrial wastewater collection and transport systems. Our extensive knowledge of vacuum wastewater systems has led to new products. One of these is the Vacuum Toilet line.
It was in the early 1980's that we first designed and tested its
vacuum toilet. After years of research and development, Bilfinger Airvac Water Technologies Inc. brings
to the marketplace a new vacuum toilet that has a modern, sleek design
and simple operation.
The AIRVAC Advantage - Vacuum Toilets offer optimum flexibility in sanitary
liquid waste collection and transport through the use of a vacuum drainage
system. This system, utilizing Vacuum Toilets, can be installed in buildings
located where there is a need to control and conserve the amount of wastewater
produced in each flushing cycle. The use of this technology can help
solve the worldwide problems of water conservation and sewage disposal.
Additionally, the use of Vacuum Toilets with a vacuum drainage system
provides the designer a tool that can offer flexibility in installation
and operation.
Reasons for Selecting AIRVAC Vacuum Toilets
• Limited water supply
• Expensive water and sewer hook
up fees
• Expensive water and sewer utility rates
• Existing
utilities inadequate for expansion
• Reduction and control of
water consumption
• Controlled collection of both black and gray
water
• Off-site construction of bathroom modules
Eliminate these Common Problems
of Gravity Drainage Systems
• Gravity systems utilize plumbing vents, which are associated
with roof leaks.
• Gravity systems utilize traps on floor drains.
These traps may dry out and permit sewer gas to enter the building.
• Undetectable
underground sewer leaks are an ever-present risk.
• Gravity systems
require extensive floor excavation and backfilling for installation.
• Solid
waste may collect in underground piping pockets and remain stationary
for extended periods of time. Such conditions encourage bacterial growth
and allow wastewater to become septic.
• Gravity systems necessitate
cutting floors and excavating to make minor system repairs or revisions.
Major Features of Vacuum Drainage
Systems
• Flexibility in Design - Wastewater can be lifted vertically
up to 20' from point of collection. Essentially eliminates the need for
piping under the floor within the building.
• Small Pipe Diameters
(1-1/4" to 4") - Minimize installation costs, maintenance costs,
and future modification costs.
• Overhead Piping Installations – Allows
for added accessibility of the vacuum drainage system. Future modifications
are easily accomplished.
• Vents & Traps May be Eliminated -
AIRVAC Vacuum Interface Valves provide a positive seal between discharged
wastewater and the lavatory, water fountain, or other fixture.
• Ease
of Service and Changing of Valves -Valves may be changed or serviced
with the transport system in operation.
• Water Conservation -
AIRVAC Vacuum Toilet uses 2/3 gallon (or less) of water per flush.
• Virtual
Elimination of Pipe Obstructions- Wastewater is transported at 15-18'
per second. Possibility of bacterial growth is drastically reduced.
• Minimized
Treatment Costs - Multiple collection tanks / discharge pumps can be
used to separate different types of wastewater. Also optimizes re-use
of non-contaminated wastewater streams.
• Transportation of High
Solid-to-Liquid Ratios - The system is able to transport wastewater with
high solid-to-liquid ratios
