We met Joel Liljendahl, the modern inventor of vacuum sewers, that in a designed system sucked away wastewater. Follow up meetings coincided with our decision to retire diplomatic life and find a new \u2018later in life career\u2019. Joel knew of an Australian canal scheme recently built near our home in Sydney, Australia at Sylvania Waters. It used his 50mm vacuum valve. \u00a0He mentioned that a 90mm valve designed for sewage transit was ready for the market. Enthusiastic, we joined other international \u2018suckers\u2019, so-called in the vacuum sewerage industry.<\/p>\n<h3>How was it received when you began marketing it to authorities in Australasia?<\/h3>\n<p>Frustrating! After two thousand years of gravity, vacuum systems were not highly regarded as early systems using the too small 50mm valve, designed for liquid wastes, required more maintenance to clear solids flowing through the 50mm plastic pipes. \u00a0The 90mm was designed for that job. After three years of calls, info newsletters and conference attendances, an order \u2013 the Water Police boats dumping sewerage into Sydney Harbour was unacceptable. We built the vacuum pump station. An early visitor from Hindmarsh Island in South Australia declared this clean, easy to install vacuum technology perfect for a planned, staged development at Hindmarsh Island. In 1990 a tender put out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneywater.com.au\/SW\/index.htm\">Sydney Water<\/a> for the growing beach side and industrial suburb of Kurnell was won. \u00a0Three projects after a lot of unpaid for design work over ten years of effort.<\/p>\n<h3>How were you received as being a woman in a very male dominated engineering world?<\/h3>\n<p>I never noticed that I was any different than anyone else. After a number of different careers in fashion, media and International trade I felt that if you knew what you were talking about, people listened. The vacuum industry was new so I was considered something of an expert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4465\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<div id=\"attachment_5053\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5053\" class=\"wp-image-5053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flovac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture3-1280x410-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"410\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flovac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture3-1280x410-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/flovac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture3-1280x410-1-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flovac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture3-1280x410-1-600x192.jpg 600w, https:\/\/flovac.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Picture3-1280x410-1-768x246.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">International Vacuum Conference, Queensland, Australia 1998.
