WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR DOMESTIC APPLICATION

When you are selecting an ON-SITE Sewage Management System, there are many Important issues to be considered:

  • EPA and Council requirements.
  • The expectation of a possible future resident, and their likely commitment to the proper operation and maintenance of the system.
  • Sustainability of the chosen system.
  • Site suitability, including environmental sensitivity.
  • System reliability.
  • System cost.
  • The impact of the system on the amenity of the area.
  • System lifespan.

These and other issues will firstly decide if a Primary Treatment System can be used or if the wastewater has to be treated at a Secondary level.

PRIMARY TREATMENT

A Primary Treatment Train usually consists of a Septic Tank, equipped with a Baffle and Outlet Filter, from there the effluent is transferred to one or more ETA Beds. This technique can only be employed on non-sensitive and unrestricted sites.

SECONDARY TREATMENT

Secondary Treatment is usually required on sensitive or constrained sites.
There are a number of different Treatment Systems that can be employed to achieve this level.
My Designs are based on gravity principles that negates the use of Pumps, however, there are some sites and Treatment Systems that leave no other option, such as Sub-Surface Irrigation, this system always requires the use of a pump.

Below I have listed some of the Treatment options I can provide, each of them requires a different level of involvement by the owner to run and maintain the System.

  • Wetlands horizontal.
  • Wetlands vertical - pump needed.
  • Reticulation Sand Filters - pump needed.
  • Sand Filters.
