Abstract:
Vacuum sewer systems are low-maintenance wastewater collection systems, which save water by using air as the main transport medium within the pipelines, by creating a low pressure within the network. The vacuum sewerage provides the same comfort for wastewater evacuation as gravity sewerage. Vacuum sewerage can be applied all over the world in every elevation, if certain conditions are given. Vacuum sewerage lends itself ideally to rural areas, coastal areas, lakesides, flat terrain, briefly, anywhere where difficult terrain would make conventional gravity system with pumping stations too expensive. There are no differences in application for the user compared to conventional sewerage. It can be said that the vacuum sewerage system is a modern, economic and ecological sanitation is perfectly suited to lowland villages.
