Drain Clearance & Blocked Toilets in Devon & Cornwall

We offer a wide range of different types of sewage treatment plant and they all work using the same basic principle: settlement, biological treatment and then further settlement.

The biological treatment zone comprises of a large surface area on which bacteria may grow where air and food (i.e. sewage) are present. The air can then be introduced in different ways through a submerged aerated filter or a rotating biological contactor.

The aim of all sewage treatment plants is to produce a final effluent that can meet the standards set by the Environment Agency via a “Consent to Discharge” to enable the final effluent to discharge into a water course or soakaway.The benefit of this is in areas where the ground is poor and the effluent can only be discharged into a water course.
