Three phases of treatment

The sewage from your home will go through these 3 phases to be treated. All this before returning to the natural environment.

Phase 1: First, the water flows into chamber one and is diverted downwards with a T piece. The solids will drop to the bottom of the tank (and become sludge after the first anaerobic breakdown).

Phase 2: Secondly, the lighter material and the liquid from sewage will flow into the second chamber.  lt creates a layer of scum at the top of the liquid water.

Phase 3: Finally, after the filtration of your sewage, these will go through the outlet filter to a final treatment in a specially designed percolation area. The percolation area will complete the treatment and allow your water to return, treated, in natural environments, without risk of environmental pollution.
