SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
AND
MAINTENANCE
Safety summary
The Evac Vacuum Toilet System receives, treats and discharges sewage waste. Personnel must, at all times, observe
safety regulations while performing maintenance or repairs. Every practical safety feature has been incorporated into
the design and manufacture of this equipment; however, personnel must be aware of the following potential hazards.
Gas hazards
Putrefaction of organic matter in Vacuum Toilet Systems will produce disagreeable odors and an oxygen deficient
atmosphere. When removing access covers, fresh air from known outside source must be supplied to the surrounding
area. Only after this fresh air has been supplied for the proper tank ventilation should personnel open the tank. Under
no circumstances should any person service a tank without a second person, capable of rendering aid, standing by.
If an extended period of time for the tank repair is anticipated, personnel should utilize the proper respiratory equipment.
Chemical hazards
If some chemicals like disinfection chemicals, foam removing chemicals or pipe cleaning chemicals are used,
manufactures safety regulations must be followed.
Disease hazards
Sewage is a common mode of transmission for parasitic organisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa, viruses and
worms. Some of these may be pathogenic, meaning they have the capability of causing serious communicable
diseases. Most diseases associated with sewage result hand-to-mouth transfer of the pathogenic organisms.
Good personal hygiene by those servicing, or in any way coming in contact with the equipment is imperative. After
coming in contact with sewage or any contaminated equipment items, personnel should throughly clean themselves
with a disinfectant soap solution. This precaution is an absolute requirement before eating, drinking or performing hand-
to-mouth functions. Skin abrations, punctures or any other wounds require immediate and proper medical attention.
Mechanical hazards
Before maintenance is performed on motor driven equipment, the main circuit breaker should be de-energized and
labeled "OUT OF SERVICE". Only authorized maintenance personnel should make repairs to this equipment.
Electrical hazards
The equipment is supplied with voltages that are dangerous and could provide fatal if contacted by personnel. To avoid
electrical shock, remove the electrical power by placing the main circuit breaker in OFF position. Do this before
performing any maintenance on electrical equipment or motors. Personnel should exercise extreme caution when
opening the door although the main circuit breaker is in OFF position. The terminals of incoming power are still alive.

Operation
The toilet is flushed by pressing the push button. The pneumatic push button is connected to the
control mechanism with a control hose, which transports the air pulse from push button to the control
mechanism. The air pulse starts the flushing sequence and the control mechanism connects the
vacuum to the control connections of the water valve and the discharge valve. The water valve opens
and lets rinsing water flow into the bowl through the flushing ring. After a short delay, the vacuum
acts in discharge valve housing and forces the rubber diaphragm in discharge valve to open. The
contents of the bowl is drained to the vacuum sewer by a pressure difference between the bowl and
vacuum sewer.
The flushing cycle in the control mechanism starts the closing cycle. Atmospheric air pulse enters
the discharge valve, which closes. After a short delay, atmospheric air pulse reaches water valve,
which closes and lets a certain level of water at the bottom in the bowl.
After the flushing cycle has stopped, the push button and system will be ready for next flush.

This vacuum will pull lever 8 and close valve 1 and the timer
function will start. Chamber 3 will be evacuated through jet 5
and the pressure difference 2-3 equalizes. At a certain level,
the counterforce from spring 6 will outweigh and the cycle will
go in the opposite direction:
The vacuum valve 12 will close. The air inlet valve 11 will open
and atmospheric air will enter discharge valve, water valve and
chamber 14. The discharge valve 18 will close and somewhat
later (because of the jet 17), the water valve 19 closes when
a suitable water level has been reached at the bottom of the
bowl.

Operation
The functioning of the vacuum toilet is entirely controlled by the control mechanism. The operation of the
control mechnism is based on vacuum in the sewage piping system.
Description of flushing sequence see document 3:01006B.
Jet 1 (document 3:01006B pos 5) controls the discharge valve opening time.
Jet 2 (document 3:01006B pos 4) counters the effect of quick changes in the vacuum supply.
Jet 3 (document 3:01006B pos 15) delays the vacuum changes in chamber 14 (see document 3:01006B).
This prevents a new flushing procedure to start before the previous procedure has stopped.

Operation
Closed condition:
In the closed position, the control valve shuts off the connection between the vacuum piping and the discharge
valve housing. As the valve housing then is under atmospheric pressure, the spring-loaded closing mechanism
closes the rubber diaphragm and isolates the bowl from the vacuum piping.
Flushing condition:
As the control valve opens, the discharge valve housing is subjected to vacuum, thus forcing the closing
mechanism to open. This in turn allows the rubber diaphragm to open, and connects the bowl to the vacuum pipe
line.

1. Installation
Install the pump to the base and ensure that no load is transferred to the
pump from the pipework. Use suitable spacers between the pump and
the base when necessary. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer
of motor and make sure that cooling air is provided for the motor.
Adjust pipework on the suction and pressure side so that the flanges
fit easily together. Make sure that fixing of bolts will not cause any load
to the pump body.Connect the cable to the control panel as shown in the
electrical diagram. Check direction of rotation to be clockwice by shortly
starting the pump.
NOTE: Do not run the pump dry for more than just a few seconds, since continued dry running will result in
overheating, which may cause damage to the seal.
2. Start-up procedure
Clean the holding tank and pipework from any foreign objects. Fill the holding tank to the filling level before starting
the pump. Follow the operation of the pump and check that it starts and stops as per in electric drawings.
3. Operation
4. Maintenance
Evac SE 044A pump is specially designed to run together with Evac -ejector in heavy duty sewage conditions with
minimal maintenance. The pump is equipped with Vortex impeller with no clearance adjustment, high quality
mechanical seal and electric motor bearings for long life operation.
Once a year:
Start pump manually and check operation;
• no leaks
• smooth running
• vacuum is created
(• recommended: check lamps, valves and pressure during operation)

Remove impeller locking screw. Removal of impeller from the shaft can be done e.g. by using a puller. To prevent causing
damage to the thread on the shaft, the thread should be protected. Place the claws of the puller as close to the impeller
boss as possible. Do not crank the impeller unequally, as this can cause damage to shaft and seal.
Loosen the screw on the retaining ring. There is a hole in the rear wall through which removal can be done. Pull retaining
ring, seal spring and rotating seal ring away. Be especially careful when dismantling the seal ring.
Undo the four M12 x 30 hex bolts on the motor flange. Pull the rear wall away from the steering of the motor flange. Be
careful not to damage the stationary seal ring when removing the rear wall. Remove the stationary seal ring if it is
damaged or worn. Removal of stationary ring can be done by pressing it slightly from the motor side of the rear wall.
Replace the whole seal, if it is damaged or worn.
Clean carefully the place of the stationary seal ring in the rear ASSEMBLY TOOL
wall. Lubricate the 0-ring with oil. Do not use vaseline. PUR 012

Operation
The discharge valve is an electrically operated ball valve. The valve rotates 1/4 turn between the open and closed
positions. The positions are indicated on the top of the valve.
The valve is operated automatically from the control panel. However, manual operation may be needed
occasionally. This can be done by turning the spindle.
Maintenance
Once a year:
• Check operation "open/close".
Knob
Ball valve Scales
3 way valve
5°
Fig. 1 Knurled
Fig. 2 knob
Operation
The pressure switch or switches and the vacuum gauge should be installed on a separate manifold, to reduce the chance
of impurities entering the switch or gauge (fig.1). The instrument branch must have 5° slope. Water in the instrument
branch will cause malfunctions.
The switch starts a pump when the vacuum level in the system falls below a preset value. If the vacuum level still keeps
declining, another pump will be started (provided that there is more than one pump in your system). As soon as the
required vacuum level has been reached, the pump(s) will be stopped.
1. Set the stop pressure by turning the knob. As you turn the knob, the indicator on the scale will move. It should be
set between -40 and -60kPa (40-60% vacuum). This is the vacuum level at which the pumps will be turned off. Note that
in each system the optimal setting may vary.
2. Set the start pressure by turning the knurled knob, reached by removing the cover of the switch. Turning the knob
will set the starting vacuum level somewhat lower than the “stop”level set by the knob. In effect, whenever the “stop”level
is changed by turning the knob, the starting level will also be changed.
The plant can be provided with a low level pressure switch for low vacuum alarm. Set the “off”pressure to -30kPa.
The setting of the switch(es) may vary from system to system depending on the individual requirements.
The vacuum gauge installed, in each system enables you to check that pressure switches are functioning properly.
Maintenance
Once a year:
• Check the operation of both pressure switch and vacuum gauge.
Float
Operation
The liquid level in the tank is controlled by magnetic level switches, which start and stop the pump (see also under
Control Equipment).
The switches consist of a float, a body, a rubber gaiter, a mounting flange, a switch mechanism in the body, and two
permanent magnets in repulsion, one in the float, the other in the switch insert.
As the float and its magnets move up and down with the liquid level, the magnet in the switch insert moves
correspondingly and either opens or closes the circuit controlling the pump or an alarm function.
Maintenance
NOTE: Before starting to remove a switch, make sure that liquid level in the tank is below it.
If necessary, discharge to required level, but be careful not to let the pumps run dry. Then
switch off the electrical supply, remove the securing nuts, and pull out the switch (Fig. 2).
Clean the float and check that it moves freely.
NOTE: Under certain conditions an excessive amount of foam may appear in the tank. Should
the level switches react to the surface of the foam, instead of the actual liquid level,
malfunctioning may occur in the system. To avoid or eliminate this problem, see under
Trouble Shooting.

Vacuum is not created • Too low liquid level • If the tank is empty, fill to at least above
even though pump is the low level switch. Check the condition
running. of the pump according to the
manufacturer´s instruction.
• Foam instead of liquid in tank • If the pump is pumping foam instead of
liquid, this will cause vibration. Add water
to the tank and try again. If adding water
does not help, reduce the level of foam by
pouring antifoam agent into the tank (1
cup per 2 cubic metres of foam and
sewage).
• See also antifoam agent manufacturer
instruction.
• Valves are shut • Check that shut-off valves are fully open
and not clogged.
• Incorrect rotation of pump • If the direction of rotation of the pump is
wrong, change according to the
manufacturer´s instructions.
• Blockage or leakage in piping system. • Close the valves that isolate the collecting
unit from the piping system and start the
pump again. If vacuum now builds up,
there must be a leak in the piping system.

PIPING
In vacuum systems sewage transport is done by vacuum (air) instead of water and gravity. Sewage is transported in
"slugs". Optimal "slug" transport is obtained by following these Design and Installation instructions.
System capacity must be dimensioned considering normal daily variations in use and different operation conditions.
System load (flushings) should be divided evenly between main lines. Ships pitch, a roll and trim shall be considered
in horizontal pipe design to prevent sewage back flow. The best horizontal transport solution is obtained with sloped
pipe, transport pocket at interval of 25 - 30m and/or non-return valve. Piping shall be designed so that possible clogging
or maintenance is not stopping the whole system. System pipe tightness must be tested, documented and maintained
for good system operation and low energy consumption. Piping shall be accessible and divided in sections for easy
maintenance.

2. Pipe materials
Pipe material must be suitable for sewage transport in vacuum conditions (pressure piping). Fire, corrosion and
maintenance aspects must be considered.
When plastic pipes are used, fire protection regulations must be observed. Note the differences between the different
kinds of plastic materials. HDPE may not be allowed by some authorities.
Check carefully aspects relating to safety and industrial hygiene. Vapours released by PVC solvents are harmful.
Plastic piping does not resist temperatures above 40°C. ( Check always with the pipe manufacturer. )

Pipe sizing is based on the assumption that 2 - 3 persons are using a cabin toilet per peak hour. For public
toilets up to 15 flushes per hour is estimated.
Heavily used public toilets are recommended to be connected to its own individual pipe connected directly down
to manifold.
* Normally maximum number of toilets in one main line is limited to 50 - 60 toilets for easy maintenance.
** When using zinc coated steel pipes, the recommended riser pipe size is DN40 (42 x 1.5).

6. Brackets
In vacuum piping high "slug" speed temporarily creates strong forces at bends and branches. Pipes must be firmly
secured by using brackets and clamps. For plastic pipes use steel brackets with a resilient liner between bracket and
pipe, or plastic clamps. Ensure that pipes will not be damaged by vibration or thermal expansion / contraction. Brackets
or clamps must be fitted at every change of direction. When connecting a riser pipe to an overhead main line, brackets
or clamps must be secured both behind the toilet and at deckhead. For straight steel pipes, fit brackets at 2.5 m centres
and on plastic pipes at 1.5 m centres, or according to maker´s recommendation.
Vacuum system gives many benefits and flexibility because the system is not depended on gravity.
Downward piping connection is the best for long term system operation and maintenance although sanitary
equipments (toilets and interface valves) can be connected to riser pipes.
When riser pipes are used, please follow enclosed riser pipe rules in item 10.

As sewage transportation is based on pressure difference, there should be very minimum in the vacuum sewage
system. Leakage in the system will lower systems operation performance and gives excess wear and tear for
components. Electric consumption will increase due to the fact that the pumps must run more often to obtain vacuum.
Low vacuum decreases the sewage flow speed in pipes and it will increase the risk of clogging.
Pipe installation design and tightness of a vacuum pipeline must be checked in stages during construction, one section
pipeline at a time. Tightness testing can be done by using pressure air, water or preferably with vacuum. Pipeline
tightness testing is to be done before installation of toilets etc. Toilet connections shall be blocked during the test by
rubber plugs or equal.
During the pipe installation, tightness tests shall be done to eliminate possible leaks in pipe joints etc. When the sewage
piping system is ready with all vacuum interface components connected, the test should be run again to check any
possible leakages in toilets, vacuum interface valves etc.
The allowable limits for leakage in vacuum sewage system are mentioned e.g in Department of Transportation (GB)
letter "At a suitable stage of completion the tightness of each system is to be checked by means of a vacuum test.
The discharge lines are to be suitably blanked and a vacuum of 0.6 atmospheres created in the discharge lines. After
a period of 1 hour the vacuum is to be not less than 0.58 atmospheres." or in Evac Tightness test protocol.
When toilets and all other components are connected to the piping, vacuum pressure in the piping system shall stay
between -50kPa and -35kPa for at least 30 minutes, i.e. 2 pump starts per hour.
When over pressure air is used in a test, test pressure shall be 300 kPa. Allowable pressure drop is 15 kPa per hour.
The tightness of the piping system must always be tested. The test procedure and test results must be documented
according to Evac Tightness test protocol ( see page 16).

All piping must be tightness-tested before toilets, interface valves and vacuum units are connected to the piping
system.Tightness must be checked pipe section by pipe section.
Finally the whole system piping must be checked.
1. Vacuum Test:

PIPING
1. General
This document provides information about pipe operation and maintenance and shall be used as advisory only. The
maintenance shall be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel to avoid any risks and misuses. While carrying
out the maintenance, the safety instructions must be followed.
As sewage is an aggressive liquid and can cause corrosion which may lead to leakages in pipes and in system
components, it is recommended that the piping should be inspected 2...4 times per year visually through cleaning plugs
and flanges.
During inspection, also check the cleaness of the pipe. The risk of built-up deposits is most likely in horizontal pipe
lines, near urinals, in places where the sewage flow is slow and in areas, where the temperature is high. If any serious
deposits or build-ups occur, clean the pipe by the following method: Rinse the piping with a lime-removing agent, e.g.
15--30% phosphoric acid or similar. The agent should be poured into the toilets at the end of each main branch of the
piping. The acid should be allowed to work for some hours depending on the amount of solid built-ups. Occasionally
a piping treatment may be necessary where toilets and other components are removed and piping plugged and filled
with circulating chemical for 4...24 hours at regular interval.
NOTE: Strong chemicals may be harmful to the pipes and biological treatment plant.
HINT: Today’s camera technology (camera into vacuum piping) makes it very easy to locate problem section(s)
of piping or how frequently pipe cleaning should be done.
2. Pipe cleaning
Best results will be achieved if regular cleaning procedures are adopted from the very beginning of the vessels delivery
from the yard.
Evac has developed automatic dosing pump set ( P/N 6540390 ) where cleaning chemical can be fed into the piping
automatically at every flush for this purpose.
By the time, vacuum sewage piping may exhibit signs of build-up deposit.This problem can in most cases be reduced
or totally eliminated by undertaking relatively simple preventive maintenance measures. It is recommended that ships
experiencing problems with build-up adopt the following maintenance routine:
• Pour suitable chemical (see attached list) in each toilet at the end of each vacuum line with a build-up of deposit
problem and flush the toilets.
• Initially, repeat the procedure every week. Once the problem has been brought under control, repeat the treatment
regularly.
NOTE: If used excessively, some chemicals may degrade the performance of some
biological treatment plants. Local regulations must be adhered to when handling
some of the listed chemicals.

Best results will be achieved when regular cleaning procedures are adopted from the very beginning of the vessels
delivery from the yard.
The build-ups occur most easily in places such as low bends in the horizontal part of the piping, where the sewage has
a possibility to lie still for longer periods of time or where the flow velocity is low. Heat stimulates the build-up of deposits.

2. Isolate the horizontal branch line to be treated from vertical main line by means of the shut-of valve.
3. Check the piping scheme to be sure that there are no connections to, for instance, the toilets located below the main
line. Otherwise the chemical mixture may overflow through the toilets below the main line.
4. If the vessel has undergone such renovation or repair which is not reflected on the piping schemes, it may be
worthwhile to pressure test the piping system with water to ensure that there are no connections which could cause
overflow.

5. If relevant drawings are not available, section piping can be treated by closing all except one of pipelines from manifold.
After that all toilets should be flushed and those which work are thus connected to responding pipe line.
6. There can be places in the piping system where a drilled hole has been used to find the location of a pipe blockage.
Occasionally such drill holes may have been sealed in an inappropriate way only to stand vacuum, not pressure or
chemicals. In this case there is a risk the cleaning chemical may penetrate the sealed place and cause leakage.
Such holes shall be secured properly by ordinary connectors prior the work.
A drilled hole
7. To ventilate the piping during chemical filling, open the vacuum piping for instance adjacent to the chemical feeding.
It is important that the open end of the piping system is well ventilated, because of gases that are developing during
the cooking process. Do not have open flames, sparks, or any sources of fire in the vicinity of the open end of piping.

8. Fill the branch line with the cleaning chemical. The reaction between the deposits and the chemical will start
immediately and the "cooking process" begins.
9. During the treatment, the piping can be knocked on to remove the deposits from the pipe walls.
11. After the treatment, flush the piping thoroughly with water starting from the toilets nearest the vertical main. (If the
flushing will be started from the end of horizontal main, there is a risk that the removed deposits will block the line).
Occasionally a second treatment may be necessary.
There are speciliazed companies to clean sewage pipes by circulating cleaning chemicals through the piping. All
components are first disconnected from the section pipe to be cleaned and chemical circulation hoses are connected
to the pipe to be cleaned. Chemical is circulated until the section pipe is clean.
More detailed information is available on request.
When using cleaning chemicals always follow manufacturer`s instructions for safe use and disposal.
