Aliaxis Studor line incorporates the revolutionary solution P.A.PA. (Positive Air Pressure Attenuator), a patented technology that prevents aerosol contamination and the spread of pathogens between plants.
A complete range of valves and systems that limit pressure fluctuations and eliminate drainage odors in a maintenance-free system.
The most advanced system
- Unique patented technology
- Suppresses the appearance of odors
- Scientifically tested and proven
- Adaptable to solutions of all types of drainage problems
- Effective protection against positive pressures in the drainage system
- No specialized installation requirements
Less piping, more sustainability
Studor active venting replaces traditional downspout venting to ensure the perfect functioning of the water closures.
Eliminate the need for passive piping ventilation and costly roof penetrations. Their design offers maximum durability in opening reaction time, zero maintenance and 100% closure capability.
World-leading performance that meets leading international standards.
- Mini-vent for individual and group ventilation
- Maxi-vent for stacked ventilation, eliminating the need for a vent pipe through the ceiling
- Tec-vent for locations where flame retardancy is a priority, equally suitable for residential use.
The world's first system that solves the problem of positive pressures for multi-storey and high-rise drainage. Perfect to complement Studor's range of air admittance valves (AAV) by providing a complete venting solution.
P.A.P.A. has transformed the current design of drainage ventilation systems, simplifying and optimizing sanitary waste systems.
- Effective and complete protection against positive pressure
- Replaces existing vent piping for greater design freedom
- Adaptable to all types of high-rise drainage designs
- Installed in some of the world's tallest buildings without the need for large ventilation ducts
- 10 year warranty
Robust two-way odor eliminating, heavy-duty filter breather designed specifically for outdoor drainage applications. Contains a replaceable activated carbon filter that filters air in both directions.
Can be used vertically or horizontally and installed in hard-to-reach locations. Aluminum cover for additional protection in applications such as septic tank vent pipes, water tanks and silos.
- Ultra heavy-duty exterior for high durability
- Adaptable to existing building drains to solve odor problems
- No specialized installation required due to push-fit connector
- Easy maintenance, just lift the cover
- Resistant to extreme temperatures (-20°C to +60°C)
Single downspout system with P.A.P.A.
By reducing the need for traditional ventilation pipes, roof penetrations, downspout protection elements on the exterior and auxiliary vents in wet rooms, the cost of materials and execution times are reduced. In addition, space is freed up in the skylights and roofs, resulting in a more efficient, sustainable and cost-effective solution.
The combination of P.A.P.A. and AVVs provides the most efficient ventilation of downspouts in medium and high-rise buildings.
The advantages of a unique system
- Provides the most effective protection against positive pressures in the drainage system
- Proven solution through standardized testing
- Reduces the amount of materials and avoids roof penetrations
- Hydraulic design support through StudorCAD
- Can be adapted to solve all types of drainage problems in high-rise buildings
- Connects to PVC, PP and PE pipe systems
- Reduces the need for fire stopping devices
Indispensable in high rise constructions
Our Positive Air Pressure Attenuator system protects the hydraulic seal of the siphons against negative and positive pressure variations. Combined with the Mini-Vent and Maxi-Vent solutions, they provide the most complete ventilation system.
Live demonstration: seeing is believing
The Aliaxis High-Rise Research Center is located in the National Lift Tower, the world's tallest drainage test facility.
A 96-meter sanitary drainage system fully equipped with the P.A.P.A. system for active ventilation.
The test stand consists of electronic pressure sensors that allow readings in the pipeline to be recorded and used to analyze the performance of the P.A.P.A. System and compare it to other configurations.
