In vacuum sewer systems, it is not gravity but air that serves as the transport medium. A vacuum system creates negative pressure in the piping, allowing wastewater to be transported over long distances in any direction, even upward, toward the vacuum station.

This makes vacuum sewer systems the ideal solution for challenging projects where traditional sewer systems are technically impossible or too costly. Long distances can be bridged with relatively thin pipes, allowing for cost-effective and efficient operation.

Vacuflow® is ideal in densely built-up areas and city centres. Thanks to its flexible installation, cables, pipelines, tree roots and other obstacles can be easily avoided. Projects have a significantly shorter completion time because less excavation is required, meaning streets and pavements remain open for a shorter period. This makes redevelopment, new sanitation systems and water-efficient neighbourhoods easier to realise.

The Vacuflow® vacuum sewage system is a logical solution for islands, areas with high groundtable levels, and sensitive natural environments where there is limited space for installing a sewer system. Shallow, narrow trenches and smaller pipes can be used, reducing the need for excavation and therefore minimising environmental impact. The system also offers a high degree of installation flexibility, and since wastewater cannot escape, leaks are prevented.  

Vacuum sewer systems are a logical choice for resorts, recreational parks, campgrounds or hotels because they are well-suited to the technical and practical conditions of these types of locations. The system effectively handles peak loads without requiring a separate pump for every cottage or campsite. In addition, vacuum sewer systems combine minimal excavation impact with flexibility in installation and manageable maintenance. The system is easy to expand, making it highly suitable for recreational environments. In hotels in particular, it is advantageous to combine vacuum sewer systems with vacuum toilets, as the high frequency of use results in significant water savings.

Vacuflow® vacuum sewer systems, combined with vacuum toilets, are ideal for commercial buildings such as offices, airports, train stations and distribution centers. Locations where toilets are used intensively on a daily basis consume a lot of water. By using vacuum sewer systems and vacuum toilets, you’re choosing a future-proof alternative: hygienic, flexible, and with water savings of up to 80%!

In industrial areas with heavy logistics traffic and a complex underground infrastructure (cables, pipes), vacuum sewer systems may be a suitable solution. Vacuum sewer systems, such as Vacuflow®, offer flexible installation options and can be routed around, over, or under existing infrastructure. Thanks to the shallow installation of pipes, the risk of damage from excavation is low. Is your business growing? Vacuflow® easily grows with it!

The Vacuflow® system maintains a constant vacuum. This prevents leaks and ensures that wastewater never enters surface water. Marinas, houseboats, and docks can use Vacuflow® to transport and collect wastewater hygienically and reliably, without the need for complicated modifications.

Making existing systems or buildings more sustainable and transforming them is often a complex process due to the presence of fixed infrastructure or, conversely, the lack thereof. The Vacuflow® vacuum sewer system is flexible and scalable, making it easy to integrate with existing systems. It offers architects and developers new possibilities when replacing existing systems and transitioning to future-proof, sustainable buildings.

Our experienced service team performs both preventive and corrective maintenance on vacuum sewer systems. We also assist customers and distributors, both domestically and internationally, with the design, installation, and management of vacuum sewer systems. In addition, our warehouse in Almere maintains a large inventory of genuine Vacuflow® parts, which means orders can often be shipped immediately.

We are happy to review the soil conditions, groundwater, project phasing, and costs with you. Based on this, Qua-vac can quickly provide a concept design along with a quotation. This allows you to benefit from maximum flexibility in design and execution, reduced earthworks, and fast project completion. Additionally, you will have a single point of contact for design, delivery, and service, ensuring clarity and an efficient process.
