Vacuum Plumbing Basics

What is vacuum plumbing?
Vacuum plumbing systems use a powerful combination
of differential pressure and gravity to collect and
transport waste and gray water
Vacuum Plumbing Basics

   From fixtures – toilets,
    sinks, showers,
    refrigerator cases, etc.
   Through a closed
    piping network flexibly
    located in the building,
    instead of buried
    underground
   To a temporary
    collection center and
    then automatically to
    the sewer main or
    water treatment center

                               8
Vacuum Plumbing Basics

The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and
Gravity Plumbing
   Ordinary plumbing systems basically rely on gravity:
    digging, trenching for underground piping and drains
   Vacuum plumbing systems rely primarily on vacuum
    pressure: piping routed above grade, laid out
    horizontally or vertically




                                                           9
Vacuum Plumbing Basics

The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and
Gravity Plumbing
   Gravity plumbing involves waste stacks, and
    extensive venting involving roof and floor penetrations
   Vacuum plumbing systems are virtually self-venting.
    No waste stacks. Air removed from the piping
    network by the vacuum pumps becomes the vent for
    the system




                                                              10
Vacuum Plumbing Basics

The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and
Gravity Plumbing
   Gravity plumbing - even with low flush toilets - require
    an estimated 1.2 - 1.6 gallons per flush, and splash with
    every flush
      Vacuum plumbing systems’ powerful, super-efficient
      flush requires ONLY 1/2 gallon of water per flush.


 NO splash!
   NO wasted water!

A. Unlike underground piping, any break in the piping of a
   vacuum system, regardless of cause, can be immediately
   identified and easily repaired.


Q. What happens if power fails?
A. Many facilities add the Vacuum Center to their standby
   power generating system. Control and hardware options
   can accommodate needs of standby power sources.

Vacuum Plumbing FAQs

Worst Case Scenarios and FAQs, cont’d.


Q.  What happens during multiple simultaneous use
    scenarios, such as in large office buildings or
    correctional facilities?
A.   Proper engineering ensures that the system is sized
     for such events. Vacuum systems are designed to
     accommodate exceptionally large water flows.


Q. What happens when debris gets into the
   system?
A.   Vacuum systems virtually eliminate clogged piping.
     Debris found in gravity drainage systems does not
     affect performance in vacuum systems.                 53
Vacuum Plumbing FAQs

Worst Case Scenarios and FAQs, cont’d.


Q. In supermarkets, is the system odor free?
A.  Yes. Odors contained, discharged. Sealed drains
    eliminate odors on the sales floor.


Q. In supermarkets, since the drainage piping is in the
   ceiling space, does the Accumulator act as a trap?
   Can waste back up into a case?
A.  No. The Accumulator is separated from the overhead
    piping by the closed Extraction Valve. Unlike gravity
    systems, the area underneath the case is never exposed
    to sewer waste.

  • 5. Course Outline   Lesson One: The What & Why of Vacuum Plumbing   Lesson Two: Systems Operation & Design   Lesson Three: Worst Case Scenarios and FAQs   Case Studies: Vacuum Plumbing Systems in Action 5
  • 6. Course Outline   Lesson One: The What & Why of Vacuum Plumbing 6
  • 7. Vacuum Plumbing Basics What is vacuum plumbing? Vacuum plumbing systems use a powerful combination of differential pressure and gravity to collect and transport waste and gray water
  • 8. Vacuum Plumbing Basics   From fixtures – toilets, sinks, showers, refrigerator cases, etc.   Through a closed piping network flexibly located in the building, instead of buried underground   To a temporary collection center and then automatically to the sewer main or water treatment center 8
  • 9. Vacuum Plumbing Basics The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and Gravity Plumbing   Ordinary plumbing systems basically rely on gravity: digging, trenching for underground piping and drains   Vacuum plumbing systems rely primarily on vacuum pressure: piping routed above grade, laid out horizontally or vertically 9
  • 10. Vacuum Plumbing Basics The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and Gravity Plumbing   Gravity plumbing involves waste stacks, and extensive venting involving roof and floor penetrations   Vacuum plumbing systems are virtually self-venting. No waste stacks. Air removed from the piping network by the vacuum pumps becomes the vent for the system 10
  • 11. Vacuum Plumbing Basics The Basic Differences between Vacuum Plumbing and Gravity Plumbing   Gravity plumbing - even with low flush toilets - require an estimated 1.2 - 1.6 gallons per flush, and splash with every flush   Vacuum plumbing systems’ powerful, super-efficient flush requires ONLY 1/2 gallon of water per flush. NO splash! NO wasted water! 11
  • 13. Vacuum Plumbing Basics   Proven application for all types of facilities, since 1979   National Sanitary Foundation recognized   Meet codes and standards −  IAPMO −  UPC and IPC   Working in thousands of projects around the world Office buildings Condominiums Schools Resorts Hospitals Casinos Restaurants Retail stores Courthouses Museums Supermarkets Prisons 13
  • 14. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Vacuum Plumbing Systems Advantages Superior performance in:   Water Conservation and Sustainability   Health, Safety and Security   Cost Reduction   Design and Construction Flexibility 14
  • 15. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Water Conservation and Sustainability   Gravity plumbing requires average 1.6 gallons per flush   Vacuum plumbing systems save extremely large amounts of water, requiring ONLY .5 gallon per flush Gravity Plumbing 1.6 gpf Vacuum Plumbing 0.5 gpf 15

  • 18. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Commercial Office Building – 500 people WC Water use with gravity low flush fixtures   250 males: –  250 x 3 flushes/day x .5 gallons/flush (urinals) x 75% usage = 281 gallons per day –  250 x 3 flushes/day x 1.6 gallons/flush (water closets) x 25% usage = 300 gallons per day   250 females: –  250 x 3 flushes/day x 1.6 gallons/flush (water closet) = 1200 gallons per day Total water demand with gravity system:   Approx. 3.6 gallons per person per day   1,781 gallons per day   445,250 gallons per year 18
  • 19. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Commercial Office Building – 500 people WC Water use with vacuum flush fixtures   250 males: –  250 x 3 flushes/day x .5 gallons/flush (urinals) x 75% usage = 281 gallons per day –  250 x 3 flushes/day x .5 gallons/flush (water closets) x 25% usage = 94 gallons per day   250 females: –  250 x 3 flushes/day x .5 gal/flush (water closets) = 375 gallons per day Total water demand with vacuum system:   Approx. 1.5 gallons per person per day   750 gallons per day 19   187,500 gallons per year
  • 20. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Commercial Office Building – 500 people WC Water use with gravity low flush fixtures VS. WC Water use with vacuum flush fixtures Gravity Estimated water and Plumbing sewage process 445,250 savings approx. Vacuum gallons Plumbing 257,750 gallons per per year 187,500 year or 58% annual gallons requirement per year
  • 21. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Example: Department Store   Approx. 100,000 shoppers per week   Staff and shoppers 50% male, 50% female   Male urinal use estimated to be 85 % of total male fixture use (slightly higher than ASPE estimate of 75%)   Males 10,000 urinal flushes per week, 1,500 water flushes closet per week   Females 11,500 water closet flushes per week 21
  • 22. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Example: Department Store   Using gravity low flush drainage fixtures: Projected annual water supply and sewage output = 1,341,600 gallons   Using vacuum flush water closets and gravity urinals: Projected annual water and sewage process savings approx. 598,000 gallons per year BONUS: Does not include potential savings from recycling gray water from sinks for use in toilets, which would increase water efficiency 22
  • 23. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Example: Restaurant   Average 5,000 guests per week (does not include staff)   Males 50%, females 50%   Guest usage approximately 70%   Male urinal use estimated to be 85 % of total male fixture use (slightly higher than ASPE estimate of 75%) 23
  • 24. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Example: Restaurant   Using gravity low flush drainage fixtures: Projected annual water supply and sewage output = 206,180 gallons   Using vacuum flush water closets and gravity urinals: Projected annual water and sewage process savings approx. 91,052 gallons per year BONUS: Does not include potential savings from recycling gray water from sinks for use in toilets, which would increase water efficiency 24
  • 25. Why Vacuum Plumbing? Examples of annual water & sewage SAVINGS per year!   Commercial office building 257,750 gallons   Department store 743,600 gallons   Restaurant 115,128 gallons In specialized cases such as correctional facilities, savings can be even more dramatic! 25
