For domestic dwellings and small scale commercial premises without access to mains drainage, the Clearwater sewage treatment plant provides an economical and environmentally way of disposing of wastewater.

Providing Full Treatment

Specifically designed to receive all of the waste water from the serving property including kitchen, utility and bathrooms, the Clearwater sewage treatment plant treats the receiving effluent at source, and discharges a final effluent which is clear, odourless and suitable for discharge direct to a natural watercourse or underground soakaway.  Under normal domestic conditions the Clearwater system will produce a final effluent of 20mg/lt BOD, 30mg/lt S.S., 20mg/lt Ammonia.

Certificated to European Standard EN-12566-3

In 2005, a new European Performance Standard was introduced.  EN-12566-3 requires manufacturers to submit their product to a testing facility that accurately measures the performance of treatment plants up to 50PE (population equivalent.

These tests identify how much pollution the treatment plant removes from the sewage, what level of maintenance is required, and what power is absorbed.

By holding EN-12566 certification, the Clearwater system is approved for an exemption from a permit to discharge under the new EPP2 environmental legislation.

Features & Benefits

  • Compact and simple design provides ‘value for money’;
  • Installed below ground providing low visual impact on surroundings;
  • Lockable child-proof pedestrian duty cover – safe for children and pets;
  • No mechanical or electrical components within the underground treatment zone;
  • The air blower is both quiet and economical with low running costs;
  • Supplied, installed and commissioned by experienced Mantair trained engineers;
  • Easy to maintain with annual desludge.

Three Stage Treatment Process

The Clearwater system is a ‘single tank’ system using a Biological Filter Process.  Within the Clearwater system there are three treatment zones.  Within the primary zone coarse solids are filtered and retained for gradual breakdown, whilst the resulting liquid is continuously distributed over a plastic biological suspended filter by an integral airlift, powered by a remote air blower.  The biological filter is designed to promote the growth of aerobic micro-organisms which ‘treat’ the liquids.  Within the final settlement zone fine solids settle to the floor leaving the resulting liquids as the treated final effluent, which is discharged from the system.

Selecting the right Clearwater

Clearwater sewage treatment plants are available in population equivalents of (PE) 6 – 18.  When sizing a new sewage treatment plant the British Water Flows & Loads Code of Practice should be used.  This Code of Practice provides the information required to ensure the correct size of treatment plant is installed.

NOTE:  The Clearwater system is also available with a 1500mm inlet invert.

All models are available with an integral pumped outlet for applications where discharge by gravity is not possible (IPS).
