Double sanitation<br />
system in Sitges<br />
Flovac has installed a double sanitation system in Port<br />
d’Aiguadolç in Sitges, Spain, a 742-berth marina on<br />
the Mediterranean that is about a 30 minute drive from<br />
Barcelona.<br />
The dual system<br />
collects wastewater (aside<br />
from rainwater) via two<br />
independent stations dividing<br />
wastewater from the marina<br />
and the fishing village. This<br />
makes sampling easier before<br />
water is released to the public<br />
sewer. Hydrocarbon and bilge<br />
water in the nautical system is<br />
collected and concentrated at<br />
a point close to its origin so as<br />
to carry out separation of the<br />
polluting load.<br />
In order to serve the<br />
seaside town, the double<br />
network has around 1,800m<br />
(5,900ft) of main line piping.<br />
The town has around 170<br />
apartments, a 50-room hotel<br />
and about 17 restaurants.<br />
The vacuum network, as<br />
always, is designed above the<br />
existing water table and will be<br />
completely sealed.<br />
By investing in the system,<br />
the concession holders Port<br />
d’Aiguadolç-Sitges SA, which<br />
has operated the marina<br />
since 1972, has reaffirmed its<br />
commitment to protecting and<br />
respecting the environment<br />
in a protected area that is<br />
particularly popular for sailing<br />
regattas and canoeing.<br />
