Ideal application possibilities of the Roediger® vacuum sewer system arise from framework conditions that make a conventional gravity sewer system more difficult from a technical and increasingly also from an economic point of view:
- Flat terrain and high groundwater levels
- Sparsely populated areas
- Weekend and holiday home estates (seasonal flows)
- Sewer systems in areas with lakes, rivers, coasts and flood plains
- Unfavourable terrain e.g. moorland, rocks, danger of subsidence, poor load-bearing capacity
- Sewage construction in drinking water protection areas
- Connections to new buildings
- Sewer reconstruction
- Material flow separation
Conventional methods for conveying wastewater can be traced back to ancient Babylon and are essentially based on utilizing gravity force and a gradient in the pipes. In addition to the effort and expense involved in construction works, the dimensions of such installations present vast problems today, as a result of the demographic changes which are occurring in many parts of the world. Modern vacuum sewer systems have proven to be very attractive for decision-makers due to numerous advantages when compared with conventional gravity sewer systems.
