Vacuum Sewer Systems - Advantages

When considering the technical, ecological and financial aspects of wastewater collection, vacuum sewer systems are an effective alternative to other options. The RoeVac^® vacuum sewer system has proved to be a reliable method for collecting wastewater in separate systems since decades. In comparison to conventional gravity or pumping systems, the RoeVac^® vacuum system offers the following important advantages to residents and operators:

• Considerable savings in construction costs
• Much shorter construction period
• Pipelines laid in shallow and narrow trenches
• Small diameter pipelines (d90 - d250 PE or PVC)
• Flexible pipeline construction
• Easy to lay pipelines around obstacles
• Sewers and water mains can be laid in the same trench
• Systems closed to the atmosphere with no leakage or smell
• No manholes along the vacuum sewers
• One central vacuum station can replace many several pumping stations
