Buying a sewage treatment system in the UK

A sewage treatment system, as the name suggests, provides full treatment of incoming sewage to a level that the treated effluent can discharge directly into a watercourse (ditch, stream, culvert etc.) The method of treating the sewage differs slightly between different systems, but the basic processes are: sewage enters the system – bacteria inside the tank begins the treatment process – solids that cannot break down settle into a sludge – treated liquid waste rises and discharges out of the system.

The settled sludge builds up over time and requires emptying from a licensed waste removal contractor. All sewage treatment systems that we supply require some form of power, either for a motor that rotates media discs, or an air blower that aerates the sewage – many systems also come with a control panel and alarm.

Please note we can only deliver sewage treatment systems to the mainland UK.

Our sister company Direct Drainage has a wide range of sewage treatment systems from manufacturers such as Klargester Kingspan, Harlequin and Premier Aqua Tech.
