Operating Principle

The tank utilises a three-chamber design to produce its high-quality effluent. The first chamber is where primary settlement takes place to remove large solids and produce clarified water. This water then filters into a second aeration chamber where aerobic bacteria, supported by diffused air, treats the effluent to remove the dissolved constituents. The third chamber is where final settlement and filtration takes place before the effluent is discharged into a drainage field or local watercourse.
