Klargester BioDisc Sewage Treatment Plant

The Klargester BioDisc is a type of sewage treatment plant manufactured by Kingspan, widely used for treating domestic and light commercial wastewater in areas without access to mains sewerage. It's a rotating biological contactor (RBC) system, known for its reliability, low energy consumption, and effective treatment process.

🔍 How It Works:

Primary Settlement: Solids in the wastewater settle out in the primary chamber.

Biological Treatment: The partially treated water flows over rotating discs (the “BioDisc”), which are covered in bacteria that break down organic waste.

Final Settlement: Any remaining solids settle before the treated water is discharged.

✅ Key Benefits:

Low running costs: Uses a motor to slowly rotate the discs, consuming minimal energy.

Quiet and low odor

Highly efficient: Can achieve up to 95% BOD (biological oxygen demand) removal.

Long lifespan: With proper maintenance, BioDiscs are durable and long-lasting.

Suitable for small properties or groups of houses
