Wastewater Management System for
Domestic and Commercial Applications

WASTE WATER
The used water
derived from domestic dwellings, commercial facilities consisting of all-waste gray or black water.
ON-SITE WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DOMESTIC OR COMMERCIAL
They are systems that receive, treat and dispose of the waste water within the boundaries of the property the waste is generated on.
WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SELECTION
When you are selecting an on-site system, there are many important issues to consider: |
Pumped Sewer Line for a 30 houses development |
- EPA and Council requirements
- Your commitment to proper operation and maintenance of the system
- Suitability 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
- Maintenance cost
My designs are based on natural biological processes and gravity principles that negate the use of air blowers, pumps, power or complex mechanics that are commonly incorporated in conventional aerated waste water treatment systems and are expensive to maintain and run.
Below I have listed some of the Treatment options I can provide, each of them require a different level of involvement by the owner to run and maintain.

Primary Treatment System

PRIMARY TREATMENT SYSTEM
A Primary Treatment Train consists of a Septic Tank equipped with a baffle and outlet filter, from there the effluent is flowing to the Disposal Field which consists of one or more ETA Beds, this technique can only be employed for single dwellings, on non-sensitive and unrestricted sites, this system can be gravity operated. |
| Maintenance: Organise regular pumping out of the tank and maintain the disposal field. |

Secondary Treatment System

SECONDARY TREATMENT SYSTEM
A Secondary Treatment Train consists of a Primary Tank from there the effluent
flows into a Wetland/Reed Bed and from there to the Disposal Field which consists
of one or more ETA Beds or alternatively to a sub-surface irrigation system(which requiresÂ
a pump). |
Secondary Treatment is usually required on environmental sensitive and
constrained sites which are close to water ways, bores or boundaries. Wetlands/Reed Beds can as well reduce high nutrient and hydraulic loads, this type of treatment technique can be utilised for single dwellings, group dwellings or commercial sites.
Maintenance: Organise regular pumping out of the tank and maintain the Reed Beds and
the Disposal Field. |
