Sewage Treatment Plant and Waste Water Systems
Types of wastewater treatment plant system processes | IMPORTANT - CLICK HERE for a comparison of different sewage treatment system EN 12566-3 Test Results - read this first before you buy to see if your treatment plant choice is the CLEANEST, or did it only just scrape through the test. |
|
No electricity required for the FilterPod It can be installed either below or above ground. Can be fitted after an existing septic tank. |
|
The Vortex plant can be installed either below or above ground. It gives one of the cleanest effluents of any treatment system. Can be fitted after an existing septic tank. Fully adjustable for varying populations. Very low energy consumption. |
These fit after a septic tank, either existing or new. |

| FILTER SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS - NON-ELECTRIC FILTERPOD non-electric sewage treatment plants are our own design.. They use non-degradable RDX filter media.
|  |
| THREE STAGE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS FALCON wastewater systems can work down to very low populations, unlike most plants which struggle when underloaded below 50% of what they were designed to do.
|  |
| 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.
|  |
| 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™ treatment process reduces pollutants by up to 98.9%.
|  |
| SEPTIC TANK CONVERSION TREATMENT UNITS BIOKUBE septic tank conversion treatment 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 need a pumping station added to the system.

Septic Tank or Sewage Treatment System?
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 drainfield, as over 60% of UK sites fail the mandatory tests that allow them to be installed. Either the Soakaway Trial Site Assessment Hole or Percolation Tests fail these tests, or, the property does not own enough land to enable a soakaway drainfield to be installed. You need a VERY large, treeless garden for a soakaway drainfield!
If your site passes these tests and you have enough land, then, in our opinion, the best septic tank on the market at the moment is the Traditional Design Low Profile Crystal Septic Tank.
