Sewage Treatment Plants Canvey Island

Domestic Package Sewage Treatment Plants.

All sewage treatment plants are based on the same principle: to create the right environment for aerobic bacteria to be produced. The addition or presence of air creates microorganisms to break down the sewage, with various treatment and settlement zones. The effluent quality from most leading manufacturers is 95% or above clean water through the various stages of sewage treatment. The effluent from sewage treatment plant can discharge to watercourse if compliant to Environment Agency requirements or discharge can be made by soakaway if ground conditions are suitable.
