Sewage Treatment Plant
What is a sewage treatment plant?
There are many different types of sewage treatment plant and they work using the same basic principle: settlement, biological treatment then further settlement.
The biological treatment zone comprises of a large surface area on which bacteria may grow where air and food (i.e. sewage) are present. The air can be introduced in different ways through SAF (submerged aerated filter) or RBC (rotating biological contactor) technology.
The aim of the sewage treatment plant is to produce a final effluent of sufficient clarity to meet the standards set by the Environment Agency via a "Consent to Discharge" to enable the final effluent to discharge into a water course or soakaway. The obvious benefit of this is in areas where the ground porosity is poor and the effluent can be discharged into a water course.

Sewage Treatment Plant Servicing
All sewage treatment plants require a service engineer's visit. The frequency will depend on the type of sewage treatment plant and the number of dwellings connected to it. Our service engineers will service both the electronic and mechanical aspects at the same time as monitoring final effluent standards by collecting and analysing the final effluent sample where required. They will also be able to check the condition of the biomass upon the media surface.
