4 WASTEWATER TREATMENT Aswaflow Pumped Wastewater Treatment Klaro Airlift Wastewater Treatment AUTHORISED PARTNER OF No mechanical parts in wastewater tank No pumps in wastewater tank No electrical parts in wastewater tank The traditional Aswaflow SBR system is pumped. This means a unit of pumps is used for aeration, to pump effluent between the chambers and to discharge the clarified water. Advantages of Aswaflow Low running costs - as little as 60 per year No concrete backfilling required Certified technology EN 66- Completely underground In addition to the above, the following also apply for the Klaro Airlift system No need for electrical pumps No mechanical aerator The Aswaflow SBR system is now available with Klaro air lift technology. This technology eliminates the need of electrics in the treatment tank. Bubbles of air are blown into the system s pipework to move water between the two chambers. When the air enters the pipe it naturally moves upwards pushing water ahead of it. This air is produced using an air compressor. A single compressor is used to feed the transfer pipe, sludge return pipe, discharge pipe and the air diffusers. Molloy Precast provide an all-in-one system including the air compressor, hose pipes and control panel. Molloy Precast offer: An all-in-one treatment system ready for installation Expert advice and an excellent after-sales service Site suitability reports for planning permission Percolation kits designed specifically for your site

5 How can Aswaflow save you money? RUNNING COSTS AS LITTLE AS 60 PER YEAR! Aswaflow uses Sequence Batch Reactor technology to treat wastewater to the minimum standards set out by the EPA. An SBR system only uses the minimum amount of energy required to treat the wastewater hence limiting electricity usage. When there is no demand on the system (eg holidays etc) it automatically goes into an eco-mode, only using enough energy to keep the bacteria alive. How SBR tecnology works WASTEWATER TREATMENT The wastewater treatment system is separated into two chambers. Raw sewage enters the first chamber where it is stored while treatment is undergone in the second chamber. The first chamber also prevents any large solids from entering the second chamber. The second chamber treats the wastewater prior to discharge into the percolation system. Fill React Settle Wastewater is transferred from the first chamber into the second chamber via a siphon pipe primed by the sludge pump. An equal amount of wastewater is transferred every time. If the required amount is not available within the first chamber the next phase (React) will not commence until the quantity of wastewater is available. The AswaFlow system uses bacteria already in the chamber to degrade the impurities within sewage. This is achieved by agitating the contents of the tank to mix the sewage with the existing contents of the chamber. Oxygen is added using an aerator to allow this bacteria to thrive and efficiently remove the sewage s impurities. To prevent excessive amounts of sludge building up in the second chamber a small portion of sludge is intermittently pumped back to the first chamber using the sludge pump. The React phase finishes after a set period of time, all equipment is then switched off allowing the sludge and bacteria within the tank to settle out. This produces a clarified volume of water on the top of the chamber. Discharge This phase removes the clarified volume of water. The clarified effluent is pumped to the percolation system using the clear water pump. The volume of water discharged is equal to the volume added in the fill phase and is dictated by a float switch.

7 ASWASOFT WATER SOFTENERS Aswasoft purity on tap Soft water is kinder to hair and skin, fabrics are softer, last longer and whites stay white! Hard water is water with a high mineral content. Water becomes hard when it flows through mineral-rich rock such as limestone. When heated these minerals settle out and solidify, affecting heat elements of appliances and boilers. Molloy Precast will test the hardness of your water in our laboratory to determine its hardness. The hardness is programmed into your water softener ensuring your water is treated efficiently. Most water softeners are timed and generally use too much salt and waste too much water. Our water softeners are metered meaning it will only regenerate when it needs to, minimising salt and water wastage. Benefits Extends lifespan of electrical appliances Eliminates limescale build-up in pipes Kinder to skin and hair Spot-free glassware and dishes Reduces soap usage DRINKING WATER FILTERS BUY ONLINE!

8 GRAVITY PERCOLATION Trench Percolation This is a below-ground percolation system and can be used where there is a minimum distance of 0.9m between the invert of the gravel and the water table or bedrock. Also the receiving soil must have a suitable percolation rate. Off-the-shelf kits Pipes and components designed and prepared to specification This system is illustrated below and consists of the following: 6 7-hole distribution box with weirs for an evenly distributed flow. A distribution system consisting of slit percolation pipes. Distribution pipes embedded in clean stone. Stone protected from overlying soil using a geotextile membrane. Ventilation pipe positioned in discreet location. Stilling pipe, reduces flow rate entering distribution box, ensuring an even distribution into each pipe. Distribution Boxes The Tipper The Tipper is a percolation device designed and developed in conjunction with Trinity College to boost the flow of effluent from the septic tank through the length of the percolation pipe. 8 6

9 PRESSURISED PERCOLATION Pressurised Percolation Off-the-shelf kits Pipes and components designed and prepared to specification This system uses a specifically designed pressurised pipe network to distribute wastewater over the entire percolation area. This system is illustrated below and consists of the following: Inlet pipe, clarified effluent is pumped from the treatment unit to the percolation bed via this pipe. Manifold, a 0mm manifold will distribute the liquid evenly into the percolation system. Advantages of the Pressurised System 6 Distribution pipe, mm pipe system with specifically sized holes at specific spacings, these evenly distribute wastewater under pressure over the percolation system. Distribution pipes embedded in clean stone. Stone protected from overlying soil using a geotextile membrane. Raised sides can be blended into the surroundings. DON T BUY A SEWAGE SYSTEM UNTIL YOU SEE OURS FIRST! Gravity systems rely on the excellent workmanship of building contractors to ensure each pipe is at the appropriate level. Failure to do this often results in a failed percolation system which can cause bleeding through the side of the bed. Even when installed properly the pipes can subside causing the same problems. A pressurised system is more robust and can handle small variations in level. This system is recommended for all percolation areas larger than 90 m. 6 9

10 RAINWATER HARVESTING Aswarain Did you know that 7% of the water we use could be supplied by rainwater. With the introduction of water charges and the fact that rainwater is lime-free, now is the time to consider a rainwater harvesting unit. Molloy Precast has unrivalled expertise and experience to guarantee you get the right rainwater harvesting and treatment system. How the Aswarain tank works Rainwater enters the Aswarain system and undergoes the following processes:. Leaf filter removes leaves and solids preventing them from entering the tank.. A calmed inlet which will reduce the risk of disturbing settled solids on the bottom of the tank.. A submersible pump pumps the collected water into the attic header tank.. Excess water is discharged into a soak pit. System components 6 Inlet pipe Leaf filter Calmed inlet Submersible pump Overflow with rodent trap 6 Top-up valve Advanced Treatment An optional kit is available to further treat harvested water for bodycare use. This system consists of: A B C D A. Pressure vessel, this ensures the pump operates economically and maintains a constant pressure in the system. B.
