Septic Tanks

Septic Tanks

Basic Septic Tanks only partially treat sewage and discharge effluent of low quality. Many authorities in the UK & Ireland prohibit their use.

More advanced products, like Klargester SuperSeptic, offer a much higher level of effluent quality, but in all instances a Sewage Treatment Plant should be considered as the first option.

Septic Tanks may be installed (subject to consent) in applications where:

  • Soil is of suitable porosity.
  • Installation complies with Building Regulations (Approved Document H).
  • The installation will not contaminate any ditch, stream or other watercourse.

What products are available?

If you are not connected to mains drainage you have three options.

Alpha and Beta+ Range

EPP2

The Klargester Alpha and Klargester Beta+ range of Septic Tanks only provides settlement for sewage solids. The liquid overflow requires further biological treatment in a suitably designed, correctly situated drainage field.

SuperSeptic Tanks

A Klargester SuperSeptic tank pumps air (including oxygen) through sewage which substantially reduces the pollution content of the overflow.

Any product installation is dependent on obtaining regulatory approvals.

Case study

A treatment plant serving a 3-bedroom farmhouse

The client approached Klargester to discuss the options for replacing a failing brick Septic Tank. Key criteria were to reduce frequency of tank-emptying visits and to use existing soakaway without the risk of blockage. Major concern was also to reduce pollution of surrounding streams and watercourses.
