What do you need to know before buying a wastewater treatment plant?
Posted on 24 Nov by Lise Helluy
Are you relocating to a rural area and your new house does not connect to the sewage system? Are you renovating your business and want to make it eco-friendly?
It's difficult to decide which sewage treatment system to purchase because there are so many options.
"What type of sewage treatment facility do I need?"; "What factors should I think about before purchasing one? "... We understand you have a lot of questions and may become perplexed. This is indeed a field where many technical terms are used, and they aren't always simple to understand. But rest assured, we're here to assist you in learning about ecological wastewater treatment and support you with your project!
In this article, we will explain everything you need to know before investing in a wastewater treatment system. After reading this, you'll know the right questions to ask and have the confidence to choose the right system for your home or business. So let us guide you...
What factors should you think about when deciding on the best wastewater system?
1. Population served
First, you must determine the number of people who will live in the house or who will visit the facility. As the capacity of the septic tank (i.e., the primary tank which serve both for decantation and for storage of the wastewater before it goes into the treatment unit) must match the amount of water it will receive each day, the number of individuals who will use the wastewater treatment system must be considered.
2. Soil type
Then you must consider the type of ground you have. If you have dry soil or wet soil, the system will not be the same or installed in the same way. Having a system that is suited to your soil type is crucial, therefore we recommend investing in a wastewater treatment plant that works for all sorts of soils (as our BIOROCK non-electric sewage systems).
3. Hydraulic load variations
Finally, you must consider whether your plant will be utilized all year or just during short periods. If it's only going to be utilized for a limited period (such as a vacation home or a camping site, for example), your system won't operate for several months and will then be used regularly for short periods. This can be an issue with certain systems that do not cope well with load changes. You may rest confident that our technology is not affected by these fluctuations! BIOROCK technologies have been developed to withstand such changes and are thus ideal for use in a primary house as well as a second home.
What are the most significant features of a sewage system?
Each wastewater treatment system has its own set of advantages, from being cost-effective, clean, and ecologically friendly. Making a list of criteria based on their significance might assist you in deciding. So, what are your priorities? Do you think about the economical side first, or do you prioritize the environment? Are you more concerned with safety?
1. Electricity
Do you want an electric or non-electric system? Choosing a non-electric wastewater treatment system is the greatest option if your system will be set in an area with limited access to electricity, or if you just want to save money on energy bills and do a nice gesture for our planet. This will not only save you money, but it will also be more reliable over time (no electricity = no mechanical components that are prone to break down more frequently).
2. Smell & Noise: Will your system be installed close to a living area?
When it comes to installing a sewage system, most of us have little space to work with. If your system is going to be installed near a living area (as is usually the case), it might disrupt you in your daily life or cause discomfort for your clients. It's important to ensure that the system you choose doesn't produce unpleasant odors or make a lot of noise while in use. We made an excellent job of designing a ventilation system in our BIOROCK systems so that no foul odors would escape the system. The fact that our plants are non-electric ensures a completely silent operation: no engine = no unwanted noises.
3. Ecology: Is protecting nature and biodiversity important to you?
You'll find a lot of wastewater treatment solutions on the market, from plants using chemicals to plants where nature runs the entire process (like ours). If living sustainably is an important matter for you, look closely at these criteria: carbon footprint, energy consumption, effluent parameters, materials contained in the products (are they recyclable). They will be good indicators about whether to make a positive or a negative impact on the planet.
When you're looking to install a sewage system, there are many factors to consider and not only personal preferences. For those of us who prioritize a cost-effective system while living sustainably and being friendly towards nature, we designed BIOROCK wastewater treatment plants. They also include some excellent features like being non-electric, odorless, and noise-free while in use.

Properly treating wastewater is an important, but often misunderstood process. If wastewater isn&#;t treated correctly, it can be extremely harmful to our environment, including the people and animals that live in it.
There are several different elements involved in treating wastewater, including physical treatment that removes particles and debris. However, the chemical treatment of wastewater is especially important.
Let&#;s take a look at the most important things you should know about chemically treating wastewater &#; including the most common chemicals and the best practices for storing these chemicals.
The Roles of Chemicals in the Wastewater Treatment Process
Chemicals are essential in treating wastewater. In fact, wastewater treatment requires even more aggressive chemicals than municipal drinking water treatment. So it&#;s always important to properly and safely store the chemicals that are used in the treatment process.
Poly Processing Company's Chemical Storage Guide for Wastewater Treatment addresses common chemical storage challenges found in wastewater treatment plants and provides sensible storage solutions. In the first section, you&#;ll find out about the five steps of a wastewater treatment process, as well as the common chemicals involved in each step. In the second section, you&#;ll learn more about each chemical, along with its appropriate storage considerations.
The chemicals used in wastewater treatment have five important roles.

1. Removing solid particles
To remove the solid particles in wastewater, chemicals such as ferric chloride, polymers, and alums are used to produce positive charges. The positive charges neutralize negatively charged solid particles. As a result, the solid particles clump together, making it easier to physically filter out and remove the material.
Since more solids exist in wastewater than municipal water, more chemicals are required for this coagulation process.
2. Neutralization
Neutralization is the adjustment of the pH levels of water. In wastewater treatment, an acid or a base is added, depending on the pH level of the water being treated. Usually, either sulfuric acid or a base chemical such as sodium hydroxide is added to the water to achieve optimal pH balance.
3. Odor control
When industrial wastewater is collected and treated, you get some strong, unpleasant, and harmful odors. These odors need to be treated, as well. Specific chemicals help to control odor at the treatment facility. In addition to activated carbon, wet scrubbers are used to reduce the stench. It&#;s very common to see sodium hydroxide and calcium nitrate used. Hydrochloric acid is also used in conjunction with media in the scrubbers.
4. Disinfection
Pathogenic microorganisms thrive in wastewater, making the water dangerous to humans. To prevent the spread of disease, these microorganisms must be destroyed or removed from the wastewater. A common, relatively safe and inexpensive disinfecting chemical is sodium hypochlorite.
5. Sludge treatment and removal
At this point, wastewater still contains sludge that needs to be disposed of. A polymer chemical is typically used to remove water from the sludge, which reduces its volume. This makes it easier and less expensive to transport the sludge to the landfill.
Creating a Safe Storage Solution for Wastewater Chemical Treatment
The chemicals used in wastewater treatment are extremely hazardous and aggressive. Five of the most frequently used chemicals include:
Sodium Hypochlorite
&#; more commonly known as bleach, this chemical is often used to eliminate viruses and bacteria during the disinfection stage.
Sulfuric Acid
&#; sulfuric acid is the most commonly used acid in the world. It is frequently used to bring the pH level of wastewater back to normal.
Ferric Chloride, Aluminum Chloride, and Polymers
&#; these chemicals are used during the process of flocculation and the de-watering of digestive cake, to make it easier to transport waste materials to a landfill.
Sodium Hydroxide
&#; like sulfuric acid, this chemical is often used to neutralize the pH of wastewater.
- Hydrochloric Acid
&#; this highly corrosive acid is used to control odors in wastewater.
Chemicals that are used for wastewater need to be stored very carefully so that their quality is not compromised. The key to this process is making sure that the storage solutions are designed based on the specific chemical that will be stored in them.
