Asewage treatment plant is the invisible hero of every home, providing convenience in wastewater management while helping to protect the environment. Choosing the right purifier is not just a matter of technical parameters, but also a conscious decision that will affect your quality of life and that of your neighbours. This article will give you an overview of the types of purifiers available, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as practical advice on how to choose the most suitable one for your home, cottage and cabin.
Types of wastewater treatment plants and cleaning methods
When choosing a wastewater treatment plant, it is crucial to understand the basic types and methods of treatment. Aerobic and anaerobic treatment plants differ not only in the way they treat wastewater, but also in their suitability for different types of facilities. The right choice of treatment plant takes into account not only the treatment technique, but also the size of the plant, which must be appropriate for your needs and conditions.
Aerobic wastewater purifiers
Aerobic purifiers use oxygen to promote the growth of bacteria that effectively break down organic contaminants in wastewater. This process is fast, making aerobic scrubbers suitable for everyday use in permanently occupied buildings such as single-family homes, apartment buildings, hotels or restaurants. Their stable operation and ease of use make these purifiers the ideal choice, especially where high quality purified water is required.
Anaerobic wastewater treatment plants
Anaerobic wastewater treatment, on the other hand, takes place without air, is slower and therefore more suitable for properties with irregular traffic, such as cottages and lodges. This type of treatment plant is more economical to operate as it does not require electricity and can cope well with intermittent operation. Although the cleaning process is slower and may be associated with a slight odour, anaerobic treatment plants are ideal for holiday properties.
Sizes of sewage treatment plants
The size of the sewage treatment plant should be adapted to the specific conditions, taking into account the number of inhabitants and the frequency of use. Too small a treatment plant may not meet the required performance, while one that is too large may be unnecessarily expensive to operate. A balanced size will ensure optimum treatment at minimum cost.
How to choose the right home water purifier for your property
When choosing a water purifier, it is important to consider the number of people in the household, frequency of use and the location of the property. For a single-family home where you live year-round, a powerful purifier that can handle daily operation is appropriate. On the other hand, for a seasonally used cottage, a smaller purifier that can cope well with heavy use will suffice. Don't forget about local regulations and requirements that may affect your choice.
Which sewage treatment plant is suitable for family homes
For single-family homes, a sewage treatment plant is selected based on the number of occupants and frequency of use. Smaller households with 2-4 people are well served by the small DCB 4K wastewater purifier, which is compact, efficient and low-maintenance. Larger families (5-7 people), on the other hand, will appreciate the DČB 5K with its higher capacity and durable design that can easily handle larger volumes of wastewater and offers long life and reliable operation.
Which wastewater treatment plant to choose for the cottage and chalet
For cottages and chalets, the choice of sewage treatment plant depends on the number of people and the use of the property. Small holiday homes with weekend use will appreciate the BIO-S 0.5, a compact and easy-to-maintain purifier. Medium-sized cottages for 3-6 people will find the ideal solution in the BIO-S 1, which can handle seasonal loads with simple maintenance. For larger cottages and lodges, the BIO-S 1.5 is suitable, offering sufficient capacity and efficient cleaning for more demanding operations.
Accessories for domestic wastewater treatment plants
It's also worth getting accessories for your wastewater treatment plant to increase its efficiency and extend its life. Useful accessories include a biosolid filter, which increases the efficiency of biological treatment, and a sand filter for the wastewater treatment plant, which helps remove fine impurities from the wastewater.
Regular maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant is crucial for trouble-free operation. At Morava Ekol, we offer maintenance services that include regular inspections and upkeep of the wastewater treatment plant to ensure its long-term reliable operation.
Location of the wastewater treatment plant
Proper siting of the wastewater treatment plant is essential for its efficient operation. Based on the approved design documentation, several factors must be taken into account. The sewage treatment plant must be placed at an unfrozen depth to protect it from frost damage and should be watertight to prevent leakage of wastewater into the surrounding area.
It is also important to take into account the distance from the house so that the sewage treatment plant does not affect the comfort of the dwelling by any odour or noise. At the same time, it needs to be close to the sewage tank to which it will be connected. This is also related to the protection zone of the well, which is 12 metres - the sewage tank, or rather the sewage tank, must not cross this boundary and come close to the well.
Do not forget that aerobic sewage treatment plants need to be connected to the electricity grid and it is therefore important to have the correct electricity supply to the site. Also think about access to the treatment plant for maintenance and servicing. The more space there is around the treatment plant, the easier it will be for regular inspections and repairs. Terrain, subsoil and drainage options are other factors to consider when siting the treatment plant.
Subsidies for wastewater treatment plants
Buying a sewage treatment plant can be costly, but there are ways to reduce these costs. There are currently various grant programs available that can cover a portion of the cost of purchasing a treatment plant. The grants apply to certain types of treatment plants and meeting specific conditions is necessary to qualify for them.
The amount of the subsidy varies according to the type of treatment plant, but can often cover up to 50% of the cost, which is a significant saving. Who can apply and how to apply? What will the subsidy amount be for your treatment plant? We will be happy to find out everything for you and we at Morava Ekol will also help you with the subsidy. We have extensive experience with this process and will ensure that your application is submitted correctly. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
