The maintenance schedule for treatment plants can vary based on whether it’s a domestic or commercial system. For domestic systems, we recommend that homeowners have a general understanding of how the system works and perform regular checks. It’s also advisable to have a professional service provider inspect the system once a year to ensure it’s working properly and the effluent quality meets standards.
Commercial systems, on the other hand, typically require ongoing maintenance and have designated personnel responsible for their care. These individuals should have a good understanding of the system, its operation, and troubleshooting procedures. Commercial treatment plants usually undergo maintenance twice a year, and if additional modules are present for phosphorus removal, maintenance may be required more frequently, potentially three to four times a year.
Maintenance also includes the desludging of the tank, which has a designated volume specified in the technical data sheets. The interval for desludging can range from 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the number of people served and the size of the treatment plant.
It’s important to consider these maintenance requirements to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the treatment plant.
