The Klargester BioDisc models have been designed to cater to domestic dwellings without access to mains drainage. They are ideal for locations where discharge is to sub-surface irrigation (soakaway), or to a suitable watercourse where approved by the regulator, and where a septic tank will not meet the required standards. There are a variety of models available, which can be selected after a quick onsite consultation with a member of our team to assess the needs of your home.

HOW IT WORKS
The Rotational Biological Contractor (RBC) is central to the operation of each Kingspan Klargester BioDisc®. It supports a biologically active film or biomass onto which aerobic micro-organisms, naturally found in sewage, become established. Natural breakdown of sewage can then occur as described below:
PRIMARY SETTLEMENT TANK
Wastewater and sewage flows into the primary settlement tank where the large solids are retained for future removal.
FIRST STAGE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT
The liquor and fine solids then flow into the Biological Treatment Zone 1 where the first stage of treatment occurs.
SECOND STAGE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT
The liquor is then fed forward at a controlled rate into Biological Treatment Zone 2 for further cleaning.
FINAL SETTLEMENT TANK
The clean liquid passes into the final settlement tank where it can be discharged to ground or water course.
DO I NEED TO HAVE A TREATMENT PLANT EMPTIED?
Under section 85 of the 1991 Water Sources Act, if your tank fails and discharges effluent into the environment, no matter how clean it is, you would be committing an offence. Therefore, there is a legal requirement to effectively manage the pollution risk your wastewater system poses to the environment. Having your system emptied regularly by a licensed waste carrier offers you reassurance that the effluent is being properly disposed of, whilst remaining compliant.
