THE ADVANCED DOMESTIC & NON DOMESTIC
WASTEWATER SYSTEM FOR THE FUTURE


Filpumps Environmental Breakthrough on Wastewater Treatment to meet latest and forthcoming guidelines for 2020 and beyond.
SEPA and the Scottish Government have been looking to reduce phosphorous and faecal microbial loads from onsite wastewater treatment discharges to the environment.
Crew Scotland’s centre of expertise for waters carried out a report. The results show, no one solution could be applied to reduce phosphorus and pathogen loadings to the water environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL BREAKTHROUGH
This came about reference to my work with Professor Joe Akunna at UWTC (Abertay) many years ago working on the first SBR Wastewater Treatment Plants and lately the working relationship with the Urban Water Technology Centre (Abertay University) and also with Graf UK and Klaro in Germany. After reading the crew report and speaking with SEPA and with Graf UK, I provided SEPA with technical information on a cost-effective treatment system that could meet their requirements that no other company in the UK could provide. Which was to reduce Phosphorus and Pathogen loadings to the water environment.
ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
For this SEPA require a system with a low BOD+SS and NH4-N which has proven test results from PIA, which has to be done in the test house in Aachen, Germany. This is the proper test house for Europe. Please see copy for the
one2clean which shows the BOD+SS + NH4-N.
With the BOD of 7 MG/L, SS of 14MG/L and NH4-N of 0.5MG/L
The one2clean was a great starting point as it is well below the British Water Code of Practice of 20-30-20.

ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
How the system works
Untreated waste enters the tank via the inlet on the side of the tank. The wastewater falls directly into the biological zone where the treatment is taking place, this allows the micro- organisms to start the breakdown process.
Compressed air is sent to the treatment plant via the control panel. This air is initially used for aeration through the diffuser. The aeration process is intermittent to achieve the best treatment performance. Aeration is then stopped to allow for the activated waste to sink to the bottom of the tank.
Compressed air is then sent to the plant again to extract the cleaned water near the surface, via the red air-lift. This water passes through a sampling chamber before leaving the plant, where samples can be taken to confirm the quality of the effluent. The above process occurs twice per day, each lasting 12 hours.
+H CHLORINE DOSING
With the GRAF advanced wastewater treatment system, we can add additional modules to improve the effluent quality.
Our +H Chlorine module adds a chlorine based solution to the effluent, which is discharged from the tank. The dosing of the solution is made into a separate secondary chamber, so the chlorine does not affect the bacteria in the SBR reactor. A kiosk (external EPP cabinet) controls this process.
New Gravity System
or with optional pumped outlet to raised soakaway if required
The +H module provides chlorine dosing for disinfection proposes, killing of small pathogens which could cause diseases.
pumped outlet optional
Chlorine container housed in the Saphir tank. Chlorine is drawn from the container via a dosing pump in the external EPP cabinet. This solution is then dosed back into the Saphir tank when required.

ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS
THE RURAL DIFFUSE POLLUTION FOR SCOTLAND FOR IMPROVING SCOTLAND’S WATER
Diffuse Pollution Management Advisory Group (DPMAG)
The advisory group was set up on the request of the Scottish Government after a consultation on Scotland’s waters. The plan was developed by DPMAG and the group will monitor its progress and report back to the
Scottish Government.
By 2027
The plan aims to increase the number of ‘Good Status’ ratings from 63% to 97% for River Basin Management Plans.
Rural Diffuse
In Scotland River Basin District only 18% of all water bodies are less than ‘Good Status’ rated due to the impact on water quality.
What is diffuse pollution?
• Pollution arising from land use activities
• These activities can stretch over a catchment or sub-catchment area
• Individual sources may seem minor but collectively over the area they are significant • Rainfall is an influencing factor
Where does it come from?
• Agriculture • Forestry • Mining • Parks • Golf Courses • Ploughed Fields • Farm Yards • Septic Tanks
What are the main pollutants?
• Phosphorus • Faecal Pathogens • Nitrates • Pesticides • Fertilisers
What areas are affected?
• Rivers • Bathing waters • Groundwater used for drinking • Areas supporting commercial shellfish • Habitats supporting native flora and fauna requiring protection

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IS NOT JUST OF CONCERN FOR THE DESIGNER, CONTRACTOR AND GENERAL PUBLIC, IT HAS BECOME A POLITICAL ISSUE AND A PLANNING REQUIREMENT
This explores the aims of Sustainable Drainage Systems, looking at both traditional and modern systems, both above and below ground. It looks at the latest methods of ‘source control SuDs’ and the pros and cons of various systems.
High Storage Volume
GRAF infiltration modules have three times the storage volume of a standard gravel infiltration ditch. One module therefore takes the place of around 1300kg (1.3tons) of gravel or a 50m (164mm) drainage pipe. Since you don‘t have to excavate so much soil and enjoy great value for money compared with a standard gravel infiltration ditch, the GRAF modules save you hard-earned cash!
Service Life of over 50 years
A durable product design ensures sustainability. The GRAF EcoBloc system and the Vario 800 flex shaft system is designed for a service life of over 50 years.
Easy to install
The modules are fitted simply, at speed and in various ways. They can be installed without heavy machinery – one EcoBloc Inspect flex module weighs just 8kg (17.6lbs), even only 7kg (15.4lbs) for one EcoBloc light.


CPD SEMINARS AVAILABLE
COVERING THE DESIGN AND USE OF SBR PACKAGE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
As more properties are built in less accessible locations it is imperative to have resilient systems in place to deal with all aspects of water management especially the treatment and disposal of waste water.
This CPD explores the pros and cons of the options available including the disposal of the treated effluent. We then explore in more detail the sizing and design for the Sequence Batch Reaction Systems with their built in adaptability to peaks and troughs in the flow rates.
ALSO FOR EFFECTIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT & RETENTION SYSTEMS
Stormwater Management is not just of concern to the designer, contractor and general public, it has become a political issue and a planning requirement.
This CPD explores the aims of Sustainable Drainage Systems, looking at both traditional and modern systems, both above and below ground. It looks at the latest methods of ‘source control SuDs’ and the pros and cons of various systems.
