| FILTER SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS - NON-ELECTRIC |
|
CONDER ECO sewage treatment systems require no electricity for the wastewater treatment process. They use coco fibre as the filter media. 1 to 3 year emptying interval No electricity required OK for France |
 |
|
FILTERPOD non-electric sewage treatment plants are our own design, soon to be launched in the UK. They use non-degradable RDX filter media. 1 to 3 year emptying No electricity used Can be solar powered if required - the only solar powered sewage treatment plant in the world. |
| THREE STAGE TREATMENT PLANTS |
|
VALANCE VES systems cater for 50 to 250 persons. They are useful for campsites, golf clubs, etc. as they are very competitively priced, superb quality wastewater treatment systems. 3 monthly to annual emptying interval. We have never had any problems with these systems. |
 |
|
FALCON™ plants are submerged aerated media systems. They range from 6 to 300 person wastewater treatment systems. 6 to18 month average emptying intervals.
Very clean effluent 11BOD:16SS:7NH4 standard OK for holiday homes and underloading situations. |
 |
|
BIOCLEAN sewage plants are an aeration sewage treatment process without media. They range from 1 to 41 person systems. Very Clean effluent. OK for holiday homes. OK for FRANCE - they have the French EN Certification. |
 |
|
DISC plants (rotating biological contactors or RBC's)) are the original package wastewater treatment systems. RBC's are now made by only a few companies as technology has changed. They range from 6 to 350 person systems. 3 monthly to annual emptying intervals. Best known brand is Klargester. |
 |
| ACTIVATED SLUDGE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS |
|
VORTEX™ sewage treatment plants produce some of the cleanest effluent of them all and have an unbeatable ammonia reduction. They have an EN 12566-3 test effluent standard of an amazing 0.4mg/L ammoniacal nitrogen, which is over 40 times lower than the Environment Agency requirements. The VORTEX™ reduces pollutants by up to 98.9%.
The VORTEX™ only uses from 24 watts/hour (£25/year at 12p/Kw) and is the most energy efficient electric plant on the market.Click for Why the VORTEX™ sewage plant is so energy efficient. The VORTEX™ also has an internal sampling point and does not need a separate sampling chamber, reducing your costs by a further £300. With a price of only £1730 plus VAT, delivered for a 6 person plant, they are unbeatable value. They range from 6 to 30 persons. Annual emptying interval. Superb Effluent Standard 9BOD : 16S.S . :0.4NH4 |
 |
| SEPTIC TANK CONVERSION TREATMENT UNITS |
|
BIOKUBE septic tank conversion unit produces a very high standard of effluent, but is, like the Balmoral SBR, a sequencing batch reactor. The domestic range extends up to 30 persons and the units above 10 persons require a pumping station to be added to the system. Annual emptying Guaranteed sewage effluent quality Ideal for strict discharge standards |

Septic Tank or Sewage Treatment Plant?
If you are considering using a septic tank instead of a sewage treatment unit, make sure that the ground is suitable for a foul water soakaway as over 50% of the UK fails either the Soakaway Trial Site Assessment Hole or Percolation Tests. If your site passes these tests, then, in our opinion, the best septic tank on the market at the moment is the Traditional Design Low Profile Crystal Septic Tank.
