    A vacuum toilet system works like this:

    • High pressure air is used to transport the sewage in the system.

    • The sewage is transported by means of water from the toilet to the vacuum generating unit.

    • Difference in air pressure within a closed piping system transports the sewage from the toilets to a vacuum generating unit and further to a STW or holding tank.

    • Because the air pressure inside the pipes are lower than on the outside, the sewage will be transported from the toilets to the STP.

    Correct Answer
    A. Difference in air pressure within a closed piping system transports the sewage from the toilets to a vacuum generating unit and further to a STW or holding tank.
    Explanation
    The vacuum toilet system operates by utilizing the difference in air pressure within a closed piping system. This difference in pressure allows for the transportation of sewage from the toilets to a vacuum generating unit and then onwards to a sewage treatment plant (STW) or holding tank. The high pressure air is used to facilitate the movement of the sewage in the system. Additionally, the sewage is transported with the assistance of water from the toilet to the vacuum generating unit. As a result of the lower air pressure inside the pipes compared to the outside, the sewage is effectively transported from the toilets to the STP.
