Decentralized Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

Decentralized or semi-centralized treatment is preferable or necessary where one or several of the following circumstances apply:

• There are no sewers
• Reuse for irrigation on site or nearby is feasible
• Reuse as service water on site, e.g. for flushing and washing is feasible
• Reuse for ground infiltration and groundwater replenishing is desired and possible
• The effluent is discharged into a sensitive water body, such as a stream or lake, and must have excellent quality

Reuse of the effluent and substitution of fresh water saves water and wastewater fees. Saving water is necessary where fresh water is scarce.

Decentralized wastewater treatment is less expensive than the construction of sewers to semi-central or central treatment plants particularly where the housing density is low.

Our ClearOnSite solutions serve for properties that are neither connected to sewers, nor provided with septic tanks. They serve for single or multi-dwelling houses, condominiums, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, resorts, recreational facilities, such as golf courses or sport stadiums, etc.

The wastewater is collected in one tank or the first chamber of a tank. An ultra-filtration membrane is installed in a second tank or chamber that is a compact membrane bio-reactor (MBR) where biological wastewater takes place. The effluent (permeate) is clean and clear. All solids and bacteria are retained in the membrane bio-reactor (MBR). A UV-reactor can be added where complete inactivation of viruses is required for safety reasons.

Nutrients that remain in the effluent add value where it is used for irrigation. Bio-solids are reused for soil improvement in gardens, parks or on farmland.
