SEPTIC TANK CONVERSION TREATMENT UNITS (Do not need the EN 12566-3 2005 as they are not all in one units)

JEWEL septic tank conversion unit

The JEWEL septic tank conversion unit adds on to an existing domestic septic tank to convert the system into a 3 stage sewage treatment system.  The range extends up to a 50 person conversion.  It is a very cost-effective solution if you have an existing septic tank as you use what you have got as part of the new system, saving a lot of money.

Annual emptying.

OK for holiday homes

 

Biocube Mars treatment plant image

The Biokube septic tank conversion unit produces a very high standard of effluent, but is, like the Balmoral SBR, a sequencing batch reactor and more complex than the JEWEL unit.  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

Spares for Wastewater Treatment Plants

Compressors 

Linear motor piston compressors.  We have found, over many years of servicing and repairs, that these are much less problematical than diaphragm compressors as diaphragms tend to split with monotonous regularity.  They are also almost silent.

Suitable for most smaller wastewater treatment systems which require blown air.  Please ring for a price.

Servicing

All makes of sewage treatment plants are serviced by Sapphire Environmental Ltd.

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 Crystal Septic Tank.
