Septic Tanks

Septic Tanks are commonly used in rural areas where properties aren’t connected to sewage pipes. 

A Septic Tank is an onsite sewage facility which decomposes the waste that is discharged into the tank.  Septic Tanks generally consist of a tank of between 2800 and 7500 litres which in turn is attached to a wastepipe.  A septic tank allows the solid waste to settle at the bottom and the liquid then flows out into the ground where the bacteria in the soil completes’ the treatment process. Your septic tank filters any excess sludge that is in the liquid before it leaves the tank. Most domestic septic tanks can build up a years worth of sludge before it needs to be dealt with.   

Septic Tank Supplies are market leaders who offer Septic Tanks to suit every properties needs. It is essential that the right size Septic Tank is used for the amount of occupants in a building. For a household of four people a Septic Tank of 2800 litres would be more than sufficient to deal with all the waste produced, whereas a property with up to fourteen people would need a 4600 litre tank. 

The experienced team at Septic Tank Supplies have been helping private and commercial properties alike for many years.  By discussing your individual needs they are able to ensure that the most sufficient Septic Tank is installed for your property needs.

Cesspools

Sewage Cesspools

A critical development to industrial or perhaps commercial business sites that have limited sewage release structures is the implementation of sewage cesspools and when looking at this delicate operation, it is vital that you only ever use the best in the business.

Septic Tank Supplies have the very systems available to ease the trauma that having little or no sewage connections can hold for businesses and, truly aware of how many sites are still without correct sewage disposal throughout the UK, are incredibly keen to rectify your needs quickly, efficiently and at low cost to you.

Sewage cesspools are single-chambered storage tanks that have no outlet, so must be manually emptied at varying occasions by a licensed sewage contractor for the correct and safe off-site riddance. Comprising a very large tank that holds all waste water (not just raw sewage), they are often made of concrete or brick and Septic Tank Supplies can competently provide you with the accurately sized sewage cesspools to meet your individual needs.

Being the top sewage cesspools supplier for the UK, Septic Tank Supplies have a range of sewage cesspools to suit your needs that are incredibly easy to operate and empty once installed by a select team of experts in this particular field.

Sewage Treatment Plants Explained

Sewage Treatment Plants
(Wastewater Treatment Plants)

Domestic sewage treatment plants have been in the UK for around 25 years, One of the first being the Klargester BioDisc which was first introduced back in 1974.


Sewage treatment plants are used in areas where there is no mains drainage and are used to convert raw sewage effluent into a purer state. This means that the sewage effluent from your sewage treatment plant can legally be discharged into lakes, rivers, soil and streams with permission from the Environmental Agency.

How the sewage treatment plant works.

All household waste from sinks, baths, showers and toilets leave the property and enter into the sewage treatment plant.

1) The first compartment is where all the sewage waste enters.  It is called the primary holding tank.
From this first compartment all the liquid slowly drains off into the second compartment.
The majority of the solid waste remains in this first compartment.
Because of this, the sewage treatment will need desludging at frequent intervals, usually sewage treatment plants are designed to give one year’s storage in domestic applications.
2) The second compartment of the sewage treatment plant is where the treatment process begins.
It is here that all the micro biological organisms live.  Over time they break down the sewage effluent.  From here the sewage effluent is discharged into the third compartment.
3) The third compartment is where the treated effluent is discharged from the sewage treatment plant into your desired location.

Sewage treatment plants are much preferred and more likely to be accepted by the Environmental Agency to the common septic tank due to the treatment of the waste water leaving the system. The treated effluent from sewage treatment plants are up to 98% cleaner than raw sewage and therefore environmentally friendly.

Septic tanks act only as a holding tank for the solid waste and no treatment is achieved in the system itself, thus the Environmental Agency prefer the installation of a sewage treatment plant.

Sewage treatment plants work by one of two ways;

The most common would generally have an air compressor above ground which pumps air into the sewage treatment plant. The biomass (bacteria) which breaks down the sewage needs oxygen to live and aids in the digestion process.

The second way is feeding the oxygen into the sewage treatment plant without the need of an external air compressor. This is done by using rotating discs inside the tank to act as a medium for supporting the bacteria which carries out the aerobic treatment process. As the internal discs rotate it draws air into the system.

New Era Of Septic Tanks

Klargester Shallow Septic Tanks

Shallow Installation Septic Tank

Half the installation of a standard onion shaped septic tank

The Klargester shallow installation septic tanks are designed to be installed in areas where the conventional onion shape septic tanks are not feasible installed. This is typical when the ground conditions consist of granite rock or if there is a high water table and you need to have your soakaway as high as possible.

Because of the design of the shallow septic tank, you will only have to excavate a hole 1.5m deep compared to the conventional onion shape which sits 3.4m deep, thus saving on installation costs due to running a deeper drainage run.

*Requires no concrete surround or base slab except in flood plains or high water table areas.

Designed in accordance with BS6279
