Port of Aiguadolç: Start-up of the Vacuum Station. First Step Towards Sustainable Sanitation

We are pleased to announce the start-up of the new vacuum station at the Port of Aiguadolç, Sitges. This innovative facility marks a significant milestone in the modernization of the region’s port infrastructure, with a clear focus on sustainability and environmental protection. Initially, the system will serve part of the marina, with plans to extend it to the rest of the port facilities in the short term.

Innovation and Efficiency: Flovac’s Vacuum Sanitation System
The installed vacuum sanitation system is a cutting-edge solution developed by Flovac. Unlike traditional sewer systems, vacuum sanitation offers several critical advantages:

• Total Sealing: Vacuum pipe networks are completely sealed, meaning there are no leaks into the environment or infiltrations from the ground. This is especially important in coastal areas where water conditions can vary drastically due to tides and rainfall.
• Reduction in Energy Costs: By requiring only a single electrical connection point at the vacuum station, the system significantly reduces the energy costs associated with wastewater pumping.
• Flexibility and Adaptation: This type of sanitation is ideal for areas with challenging geographical conditions, as is the case for many marinas and ports.

Service Expansion: A Long-Term Vision
The initial start-up of this vacuum station at Port Aiguadolç is just the first step. In the coming months, the service will be expanded to cover the rest of the marina, ensuring that all vessels and port facilities can benefit from this efficient and eco-friendly system.

But we are not stopping there. We are also planning to extend the vacuum sewer system to the urban area of the Port of Aiguadolç. This measure will not only improve wastewater management in the port but will also positively impact the local community, providing a more efficient and environmentally friendly sanitation service.

A Continuous Commitment to Sustainability
Flovac has been a pioneer in the installation of vacuum sanitation systems in various strategic locations, demonstrating the effectiveness and sustainability of our product.

Each installation is a testament to Flovac’s commitment to technological innovation and environmental preservation. Our goal is to continue leading the way in implementing sanitation solutions that benefit both port infrastructure and surrounding communities.

We will keep updating you on the progress of this project and on new initiatives that reaffirm our dedication to innovation and sustainability in the sanitation sector.
