B/E Vacuum Waste System Weighs Less and Uses Less Water

On the list of private jet cabin items, the vacuum waste system rarely gets top billing. Designers find it a slightly embarrassing topic of conversation, fraught with smirks and potty humor. The engineers just want to get it over with as quickly as possible so they can get on to grander projects. And all the owner wants is one that works. At B/E Aerospace’s Ecosystems division, the waste disposal system gets more attention–a lot more, as can be seen at the company’s exhibit here (Booth No. 2059).

The company introduced its new vacuum waste system in 2009, emphasizing the modular design, an all-composite and easily removed bowl, a single-control assembly, a vortex separator to minimize the number of inlets and outlets need for the vacuum waste tank and an improved tank sensor.
