Klargester - Sewage Treatment - Back To Basics
A Treatment Plant is a packaged miniature sewage-works that converts raw sewage into water effluent and solid waste (sludge).
These ‘packaged’ plants come in all shapes and sizes but all use the same science in their process of tackling sewage – Putting bacteria into contact with oxygen and food (organic waste) results in a natural biological breakdown (aerobic digestion).
The key to any Treatment Plant’s efficiency and success is how its design puts these three things together in its operating motion.
The BioDisc range for example, acts by rotating the host ‘media’ through the effluent. Biotec models move the effluent over the host media. Media is simply bacteria growing on perforated plates designed to provide a large contact area for this digestion to take place.
No Treatment Plant is a ‘fit & forget’ product as they do require periodic maintenance and a degree of care to keep working to optimum levels. What they do offer though is the most environmentally and authority friendly way of solving an Off-Mains drainage problem.
