Liernur's Pneumatic Sewerage System, circa 1884. This system, invented by Captain Charles T. Liernur, was primarily used in Holland. It was designed as a "separate" system, with sewage and rainwater disposed of by separated systems. Pneumatic pressure delivered sewage through pipes to a collection station. See pp. 22-26 of source article for detailed information.
