Vacuum Systems

   Innovative thinking and extensive
   experience with traditional marine
   equipment including vacuum toilets
   systems has allowed Techni SA to
   develop a complete range of reliable
   vacuum units.

   TecVac vacuum sanitation systems
   represent today the most advanced
   vacuum technology suitable for every
   ship. State of the art construction,
   reliability, long life endurance, minimum
   maintenance and high automation are
   their characteristics. Suitable for grey and
   black water systems combined or not, for
   systems incorporating a sewage
   treatment plant or holding tank they can
   offer weight and space saving solutions
   for any type of ship. Easy to install, offer
   design flexibility without incurring extra
   costs and can be delivered with Biocon
   sewage treatment systems in compact
   units.
 

MODEL	SYSTEM CAPACITY	POWER	TOILETS
	FLOW RATE / HOUR	HP	SERVED
TECVAC 25	50 cubm/hour	3	20
TECVAC 40	80 cubm/hour	4	40
TECVAC 60	120 cubm/hour	6	60

   The vacuum unit consists of the following
   main components :

   *  Our design is based on three elements
      Operational stability, space saving,
      maintenance friendly
      No foaming and temperature increase on
      waste

   *  Two vacuum pumps, liquid ring type bronze
      impeller of the same capacity

   *  Three vacuum pressostats (two for pump
      operation one for safety margin)

   *  One vacuum manometer

   *  Vacuum tank made from SS316, serves also
      for pump Para flu reservoir It can be made
      according to ship requirements, as a compact
      unit itself or as integrated holding tank with
      requested volume. Typical tank diameters are
      60, 80 & 95 cms with heights up to 1,5 metre
      but other dimensions can also be
      manufactured according to ships requirements.

   *  Three level magnetic contacts (low and
      medium for automatic operation, high for alarm level).

   *  Electrical panel for automated or
      manual operation. When
      BIOCON sewage treatment
      systems are selected, both
      systems can be operated from
      one electric board.

      During operation the following
      information can be shown on
      display :

      1.  Working hours of vacuum &
           transfer pumps for preventive
           maintenance
      2.  Status of level contacts
      3.  Function status different
           pumps
      4.  Critical parameters
