Klargester BioDisc

Klargester BioDisc 6 Person

The only treatment plant that utilises the biological contactor (RBC) technology to produce outstanding wastewater treatment results.
For domestic properties with no access to mains drainage, the Klargester BioDisc® gives you a reliable, efficient and Eco safe solution for your sewage disposal needs.
This unit is just the job for properties where discharge is to underground irrigation, or to a local watercourse where approved by the local Regulator, and where a septic system will not meet the standards required.
Certified to European Standard EN 12566 - Part 3 - Annexe B - Performance Tests
In 2005, the Klargester BioDisc® underwent 40 weeks of stringent testing to assess its treatment efficiency as part of Klargester's commitment to meet the new European Standard for small treatment plants.After delivering exceptionally high levels of pollution removal (95%) under varying loads and conditions, the Klargester BioDisc® was awarded its Performance Certificate.
The test report also highlighted the following benefits and advantages of the BioDisc:
•         The Klargester BioDisc® operates without noise or odour.
•         Maintenance requirements are low with good access.
•         No technical or mechanical faults.
•         Low power consumption at 1.3kw/d - approx 10-14 pence per day.
•         Low sludge build up and large storage capacity.
Unique Design
 
The Klargester BioDisc® is the only packaged sewage treatment plant using Rotating Biological Contactor technology for domestic applications. This process offers low cost and high performance benefits with low carbon emissions.
 
Assured Performance
Klargester BioDisc® is a very high performance sewage treatment plant that, in standard domestic homes, will produce wastewater qualities of better than 15mg/l BOD*, 25mg/l SS and 15mg/l ammonia.

*Wastewater from sewage treatment plants contains organic materials that are decomposed by microorganisms, which make use of oxygen in the process – the amount of oxygen consumed by these organisms in breaking down the waste is known as the ‘biochemical oxygen demand’ or BOD.
Low Running Costs

Klargester BioDisc® has the lowest operational and maintenance costs of any sewage treatment plant in its field. The single home unit needs a yearly de-sludge only, the motor rating is 50 watts and routine maintenance is minimal.
Low Lifetime Costs
Lowest running costs with the quality of build and strength of the equipment - mainly the drive motor that has a much longer service life than the pumps and compressors fitted to other units - all add up to a lower lifetime cost for the Klargester BioDisc®.
Process Stability
The Klargester BioDisc® is known for its treatment performance. This is further enhanced by Klargester’s Managed Flow System, which ensures great performance by smoothing peak flows and buffering biological loads over the working day.
Dispersal
Subject to relevant authority consent and site conditions, the plant discharge can be to a watercourse or to a drainage field.
Standard Invert Options
Three standard drain invert level alternatives are available from us to match the site topography and where applicable, minimize the invert depth. The Klargester BA, BA-X and BB BioDiscs are available with 450mm, 750mm and 1,250mm inverts
BA, BA-X and BB BioDisc’s can also be fitted with an integrated pump to move waste water from point of treatment if site levels demand this.

Septic Tank Bristle Filter


Why Install A Septic Tank Bristle Filter
The majority of septic tanks on the market have an internal baffle to retain the solid waste within the system and allow the effluent (dirty water) to run into a soakaway.
Over time baffles can become dislodge or damaged and this then allows the solid waste to leave the septic tank and enter the soakaway, this in tun then clogs up the soakaway and stops it from working.
How Does The Septic Tank Bristle Filter Work?
In the past the only solution when a septic tank baffle broke was to install a whole new system
With the Septic Tank Bristle Filter this is no longer the case! The Filter acts as a baffle and allows the effluent to enter the soakaway whilst containing the solids waste within the septic tank.
Installation
Installation of the Septic Tank Bristle Filter is incredibly simple and easy to install.
Simply install the Septic Tank Bristle Filter in to the vertical T on the outlet side of the septic tank or sewage treatment plant, this then removes up to 70% of suspended solids from a septic tank and 30% from a sewage treatment plants which will greatly lengthen the lifespan of your soakaway.
