To determine the size of a wastewater treatment system, you can refer to the Flows and Loads guide available on the British Water website. This guide provides information on different sources of waste and their corresponding flow rates, organic material (BOD) concentration, and ammonia levels. Based on these parameters, you select a system that can handle the highest concentration among the three.
For small domestic applications, you can consider the number of bedrooms in the property and add a certain number to determine the system size. For larger projects or commercial applications, it’s best to seek advice from experienced professionals who can assist in selecting the appropriate system size.
Manufacturers are familiar with the Flows and Loads guide and can provide guidance and support in determining the right system size for your specific needs.
