Why Do We Need Sewage Treatment Plant?
A sewage treatment plant promotes the growth of bacteria that break down sewage by circulating air. The goal is to generate much cleaner, more environmentally friendly effluent. It is similar to a standard septic tank, but there are some significant differences. Sewage treatment plants can treat the waste of commercial properties or a number of domestic dwellings, depending on their size.
Why do we need sewage treatment plants?
Connecting to main sewers should be the first consideration for anyone planning a new development. They are typically the most cost-effective and dependable method of dealing with wastewater. However, obtaining a mains sewer connection is not always possible. In some cases, the distance between the nearest sewer and the land layout make having your property serviced by a mains sewer impossible. Sewage treatment plants and other alternatives may be useful in this regard. Because of the way sewage treatment plants work, they can be installed almost anywhere there is an electrical connection.
What Are the Different Stages of Sewage Treatment?
The general design of a sewage treatment plant is not dissimilar to that of a septic tank. Similarly to a septic tank, sewage flows from the serviced property into the first chamber of the sewage treatment plant. The water sits here until the grease, oil, and scum have floated to the top and the solids have settled to the tank's bottom. Once the separation process is complete, the liquid is routed into a second chamber, which is where sewage treatment plants differ from septic tanks. This chamber has an air pump that circulates air throughout the chamber to promote the growth of aerobic bacteria. This bacteria aids in the breakdown of contaminants in the water, thereby effectively cleaning it.
One final settlement tank is the final stage of a sewage treatment plant. This final tank allows any remaining solids to settle to the bottom before the effluent is discharged into a soakaway or watercourse. After the treatment process is completed and the wastewater has been thoroughly treated, it can be discharged into the environment. This is another important distinction between sewage treatment plants and sewage treatment plants. Whereas septic tank effluent must be discharged into a soakaway for further treatment in the ground with an Environment Agency Consent to Discharge, effluent from your treatment plant can be discharged directly into local water sources. This is due to the vastly improved effluent quality produced by the treatment process.
Is it still important to empty sewage treatment plants?
A sewage treatment plant's purpose is to treat wastewater as thoroughly as possible - and, while such plants can often handle more waste than a septic tank, they still need to be emptied on a regular basis. Sludge can accumulate in the system over time, so it's critical to have a treatment plant serviced at least once a year, or as recommended by the installer.
