10 YEARS OF FLOVAC IN SPAIN

It has been ten years since FLOVAC decided to bet for vacuum sewer in Spain and lead this innovative sector. The professionals integrating FLOVAC Spain were already experts on the field, as they took part in the first vacuum sewer installation in Spain, in the marina of Empuriabrava, among other similar projects.

Since 2006, FLOVAC Spain has grown positively and it has improved its technology, always keeping the leadership of the sector. Its success has crossed the Atlantic and it also does projects in South America, currently in Chile and Canouan. Furthermore, the development on FLOVAC technology has allowed a greater efficiency in the installation of the system in ports and marinas, being able to serve in the berth even to the biggest yachts.

Why do we bet for vacuum sewer?

This innovation can guarantee a more efficient, secure, economic and environmentally safe sewage system there where the conventional one can't arrive, as plane areas or areas with a high phreatic surface. This was the case of Santa Pola, the biggest sewer construction made in Europe, which last sewage network articulated with big gravity collectors and it had sections under the water table. This implied salty water infiltrations and the deterioration of the biological system of the water treatment plant. With FLOVAC sewage system all this problems could be solved, considering that the network works by negative pressures, avoiding it to reach a high depth and keeping the level of the pipe always over the phreatic surface.

FLOVAC Spain hopes it could keep growing and expanding its horizons and celebrate much more anniversaries.
