AIRVAC, INC.

AIRVAC, INC. is a well-regarded company specializing in the design and manufacturing of vacuum sewer systems. These systems are primarily used in areas where traditional gravity-based sewer systems may not be suitable, such as in flat or rugged terrain, high water table areas, or sensitive environments. AIRVAC's vacuum sewer technology offers a reliable and cost-effective alternative for wastewater management.


Key Aspects of AIRVAC, INC.:



  1. Technology and Innovation:



    • Vacuum Sewer Systems: Vacuum sewer systems use differential air pressure to transport sewage. These systems are closed and typically more resilient to infiltration or exfiltration issues common in gravity-based systems.

    • Environmental Sensitivity: Vacuum sewer systems are ideal for areas with environmental concerns because they minimize the risk of contamination to surrounding land and water sources.



  2. Applications:



    • Municipal Solutions: Suitable for small and large communities, including urban and rural areas.

    • Commercial and Industrial: Used in various commercial habitats, industrial sites, and even parks.

    • Retrofitting Existing Systems: Airvac systems can be retrofitted to work alongside or replace existing sewer systems that are failing or inefficient.



  3. Advantages:



    • Cost-Effective: Lower installation costs compared to traditional gravity systems in some cases.

    • Flexible Installation: Easier to install in difficult terrains.

    • Resistance to Infiltration: The closed nature of the system prevents groundwater infiltration, which can lead to increased treatment costs in traditional systems.



  4. Customer Focus:



    • Engineering Support: AIRVAC provides comprehensive engineering support from the design phase through installation and maintenance.

    • Training and Education: The company emphasizes training for operators and maintenance staff to ensure the longevity and reliability of their systems.

    • Service and Maintenance: They offer ongoing service and support, which is critical for the long-term functionality of vacuum sewer systems.



  5. Global Reach:



    • International Presence: AIRVAC has implemented projects worldwide, showcasing their expertise and the global applicability of their technologies.



  6. Part of Larger Networks:



    • Acquisitions and Mergers: Over time, the company may have been part of or acquired by larger groups specializing in water and wastewater solutions, which broadens their technological capabilities and market reach.




Products and Services:



  • Vacuum Pumps Stations: Centralized units that create the vacuum needed to transport sewage.

  • Valve Pits and Interfaces: Components that connect buildings to the vacuum system.

  • Pipelines: Specialized pipes capable of handling the unique challenges of vacuum sewer systems.

  • Control Systems: Advanced monitoring and control systems to ensure efficient operation.


Customer Base:


AIRVAC serves municipalities, engineering firms, developers, and industrial clients who require innovative and reliable wastewater management solutions.


AIRVAC, INC. continues to be a pivotal player in modern wastewater management, providing innovative, environmentally-conscious, and cost-effective solutions that address the challenges posed by traditional sewer systems.

U.S. Shipbuilding, Maritime Dominance Requires a New Ecosystem

yesterday
With all the Legislative fanfare, Executive Orders, Committee meetings, lobbying efforts and media announcements concerning American Shipbuilding, Naval Warfare and Maritime Dominance, it is no surprise that the result of the uproar is shear confusion within the maritime industrial base (MIB).  The April 9, 2025 Executive Order Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance lists more than several reports to the President due within 90 days. Following those initial updates other reports are due at 180 and 210 days. The industry as a whole has not seen references to any of the reports being completed.

European Ports Slow to Install Shore Power

European Ports Slow to Install Shore Power

2 days ago
Most European ports are lagging in installing the shore-side electrical infrastructure needed for ships to switch from highly polluting marine fuel to cleaner electricity while docked, a new study showed on Tuesday.European Union environmental rules have set a 2030 deadline for maritime ports to install the infrastructure to provide what is known as onshore power supply (OPS).To assess their roll-out, Brussels-based NGO Transport & Environment (T&E) commissioned a study covering 31 European ports.Findings show that just one in five of the required power supply connections have been installed or contracted so far, with slow uptake across most ports.
