Be a VoiceThis year the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) has added a new way to participate in the Call for Abstracts process for the Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition. It is called, "Be a voice" and it gives you the opportunity to tell us what you’d like to experience at the AEC. Tell us topics you’d like to hear about and speakers you’d like to see. Review abstracts and provide input. Help NEHA develop a training and education experience that continues to advance the proficiency of the environmental health profession AND helps create bottom line improvements for your organization!

Measuring Gravity Sewer Flow Accurately

Flow measurement is a missing link in computing why septic systems may fail. Calculating the estimated flow on a sewer system can be impacted by inflow and infiltration issues. The actual flow may be further impacted with wet weather events and its impact may be ignored. Measuring flow should indicate a state of hydraulic overloading if evident in the performance of any septic or sewer system. The importance of knowing anticipated sewer flow can gauge potential problems. Daily flow can exceed the system design capacity, resulting in frequent sewer backups or puddling of sewage onto the ground surface.

Sanitary sewer overflows are evident in cases where potential problems are compacted with additional flows. Values for estimated sewage flows will be compared. Inflow and infiltration are often not considered when sizing an onsite wastewater system or sewer collection system. Ways to correct I&I will be shared. Several solutions to measure gravity sewer flow accurately will be discussed.

    Towards the end of the 1960's vacuum sewage technology for the collection and transportation of sewage in a closed negative pressure system, was introduced to the world market under the trade name Vacuflow. Also during this period the water saving vacuum toilet system using only one litre of water per flush was being installed in various municipal applications such as holiday centres as well as on board ships. Nowadays the Vacuflow system is universally applied. From 1990 our company has acquired the full exclusive rights on the Vacuflow technology.


    During the past 40 years our staff gained a large amount of experience in vacuum sewage technology and carry this forward under the name QUA-VAC B.V.

    Our design department provides assistance and training to our international Vacuflow network ensuring a consistent high level of engineering and design.
    Furthermore the company specializes in the design and supply of vacuum toilet systems, sewage treatment plants and marine galley equipment.
