History Vacuum sewage systemDutch Engineer Capt. Liernur (1866) Congress in Haarlem, The
Netherlands
Vacuum operated collection system for toilet waste.

For example :
• Amsterdam, Leiden, Dordrecht (The Netherlands)
• Prague (Czech), Hanau (Germany), Stansted (England)
• Designs for Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, Munich, Stutgart etc.
• Trouville (France) was in operation until the 1980’s
QUA-VACJoel Liljendahl (1956)
In 1956, more than 100 years after Liernur, the Swedish engineer Joel
Liljendahl filed a patent on vacuum collection and transport of toilet
waste by means of air.
Electrolux (1968)
Electrolux AB, Sweden bought the rights on the vacuum technology
asspecified by the inventor Mr. Joel Liljendahl.

Electrolux- Quatfass BV (1969)
Development of the vacuflow system
EVAC AB (1985)
In 1985 Electrolux sold its total vacuum division, including their new
applications for train and aviation systems.
QUA-VAC B.V.(1990)
In 1990 Mr. D.G. Quatfass, still active within the EVAC group as Managing
Director for Benelux operations, bought all world wide Vacuflow rights
from EVAC AB.

Benefits of the QUA-VAC
Vacuum Sewage System
• Quick excavation
• Minimal maintenance
• Low energy consumption
• Small diameters, 90 – 200 mm
• Shallow and no deep trenching
• Flexibility of piping
• Environmental system, due to negative

• Environmental system, due to negative
pressure
• Aeration of sewage
• No manholes/inspection points
• Buffer volume in vacuum valve chamber
Low investment costs
Gravity
Numerous lift stations Non- continuos slope
De-watering and trench stabilization
Eliminating de-watering and trench stabilization
Wide and deep trenching

trenching trenches
Exfiltration can contaminate surrounding area
Absolutely fail safe, at worst infiltration never exfiltration
Expensive field changes and line rerouting.
Flexibility of piping
200mm up to 400mm concrete pipe
90mm to 250mm PVC/HDPE pipe

Piping & profilesThis profile, The Vacuflow® Profile, is the key to a reliable system. The
Vacuflow® profile generates:• High acceleration with minimal acceleration losses
• High lifting capacity with minimal lift losses
• High flow capacity with minimal friction losses
• Good directional effect without the use of check valves

Piping & profilesVacuflow® profileThe pipes are laid in a 'sawtooth' profile.
The 'sawtooth' profile also enables
'pockets' of liquid to form.
These 'pockets' of liquid are
progressively transported by the air
introduce at each interface unit, in
direction to the central sewage
