Vacuum toilet system.

Marine vacuum toilet system designed for onboard sanitary wastewater collection.

Vacuum toilets built for efficient onboard operation.

Wärtsilä vacuum toilets have been designed to be mechanically simple, operationally reliable, and stylish in appearance. By using only approximately 1 liter of water per flush, the amount of wastewater is dramatically reduced.


The AVT13 vacuum toilets use air to drive waste from the toilet into the treatment tank or intermediate collection tank. The contemporarily styled toilets are equipped with a built-in vacuum breaker and a flush memory. They are simple to install, and supplied as 'ready to connect' units.


The toilets' control mechanisms can be accessed without removing the bowl.

Why operators choose Hamworthy vacuum toilets:

Minimum space requirements.
Low water consumption.
Simple to install - supplied complete & 'ready-to-connect'.
Quiet operation.
Maintenance in-situ.
Bulkhead (AVT13B) or deck (AVT13D) mounted.

Vacuum Interface Valve:

In addition to ship toilets Wärtsilä is also offering Vacuum Interface Valves. This optional valve provides an interface between the sewage collection system and conventional grey water drains and urinals. The valve enables an easy connection to gravity-based appliances, enabling cost savings and effective integration with the vacuum system piping. The interface valve is reliable, easy to maintain, and has been installed in USN/USCG ships and merchant marine vessels throughout the world.
