Sewage Treatment Plant - CONDOR

Condor Clearflo Sewage Treatment Process

The Condor Clearflo sewage treatment plant comprises a single tank. Within the tank there is an inner central bio-zone chamber and an outer settlement zone.  The sewage plant accepts and treats the incoming sewage, using the activated sludge and extended aeration principle, in the central bio-zone chamber. A simple coarse bubble diffuser, housed in a draft tube, introduces the air that provides the oxygen to the bacteria, forming activated sludge which then treats the sewage.  The bio-zone retains the mixture of sewage and bacteria until the level of treatment has been achieved.  The treated effluent then enters the settlement zone where settlement takes place. The settled solids are drawn back towards the draft tube, with the diffuser in it, and are returned via the airlift principle to the bio-zone for further treatment. The treated (final) effluent subsequently leaves the sewage treatment plant over a weir, at the outlet level, that extends around the circumference of the tank. The movement of fluid through the whole sewage system is by gravity displacement. There are no moving parts in the sewage treatment plant.

Installation of the Condor Clearflo sewage treatment plant

We advise the use of a suitably experienced and qualified installation company to install any of our products.

Care should be taken to fully assess the site ground conditions prior to commencement of installation as the Clearflo range requires a 200mm deep concrete base.  Detailed installation guidelines are provided for each product.

All electrical work should be carried out in accordance with current regulations (for example NIC EIC/Building Regulations).

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Sampling Chamber / Pump Chamber

A Sample Chamber is required in order for the regulatory authority to take representative samples of the final effluent for testing.

Condor SERVICE agreement

Package sewage treatment plants are installed to treat wastewater and to protect the environment. They must be cared for and maintained so that they can continue to operate effectively. Failure to do this will undoubtedly lead to pollution of the water environment, which is an offence and may result in prosecution.

For the Clearflo, Condor recommends that a maintenance agreement is taken out to service the plant as indicated in the Environment Agency     Guideline PPG4. A plant de-sludge should be carried out every 3 years or so (depending on the plant loading).

* Deeper inverts can be accommodated with extension shafts, though these can limit the servicing and repair possibilities for sewage treatment plants.  Advice should be sought prior to ordering a neck extension.
