PLANT
SUPER
’ PLUS is a package plant entirely made of a single piece of roto-moulded polyethylene.
DESCRIPTION The plant is designed for the secondary treatment of domestic waste waters from small residential communities
not served by the main sewer.SUPER PLUS is generally associated with a grease trap for pre-treatment of gray
water discharged from kitchen, showers and domestic laundry equipment or a Double-Septic tank in situation
where black and gray waters are mixed.

Secondary treatment is designed to substantially degrade the biological content of the sewage.
SUPER PLUS is a compact activated sludge plant to treat the settled sewage liquor using aerobic
biological processes. The depuration is performed in a multi-stage process whose phases of: biological
oxidation, sedimentation, digestion and disinfection.

OXIDATION The biological oxidation phase occurs in presence of aerobic bacteria and protozoa which
consume biodegradable soluble organic contaminants and bind much of the less soluble
fractions into floc particles.
The oxygen necessary to the biological processes is supplied by a silenced membrane-type
air compressor positioned externally. Oxygen is diffused inside the oxidation compartment
by means of EPDM non-clogging membrane diffuser, delivering fine bubbles. The operation
of the air-blower can be timed and regulated in relation to the organic load.

SEDIMENTATION Sedimentation is the final step in the secondary treatment stage with the objective to settle
out the biological floc and produce a supernatant with very low levels of organic material and
suspended solids. SUPER PLUS has a sedimentation compartment designed to optimize the
hydraulic retention for a time suitable to allow the sludge settlement.
The activated sludge and the solids settle to the base of the plant while the clarified supernatant
liquid flows towards the final stage of it.

DIGESTION The sludge separated from the treated effluent is already partially stabilized.
The biological process is designed to minimize the quantity of sludge which needs to be
removed periodically from the system for separate disposal in designated pits.

CHLORINATION Clarified water is discharged through a contact compartment where an active chlorine tablet is
positioned to disinfect and remove any remaining pathogens from the water.

EXCAVATION Dig a hole of appropriate dimensions. The bottom of the excavation must be leveled and
INSTALLATION
compacted with a 10 cm layer of fine sand (grain size 0-5 mm).

BACKFILLING Fill the tank with clean water before backfilling to avoid collapse of the polyethylene
structure during backfilling. Once the tank is full, dump sand around the tank and level it.
For a walk-on solution build a 5 cm thick light concrete layer on top of the tank and finish
with a 40 cm thick soil. For a drive-on solution a reinforced concrete slab is required to
protect the tank. Accessible manholes are required for inspection and maintenance.

PIPING AND PVC pipes and fittings are recommended for connecting the SUPER PLUS plant with the inlet and
FITTINGS outlet lines. An inspection chamber situated downstream of the plant is recommended for any
inspection or maintenance works.

ELECTRICAL The electrical equipment of this plant operates with 220 Volts power supply
CONNECTION

START UP & COMMISSIONING After completion of installation, check that the air blower and diffuser are working
MAINTENANCE correctly. To accelerate the plant start up place the lyophilized bacteria kit in the
oxidation area and a chlorine tablet in the compartment situated in the outlet pipe.

MAINTENANCE Make sure there is no sludge stagnation in the settling tank to avoid the anaerobic processes.
Every three months insert a chlorine tablet in the appropriate place in the outlet pipe work.
Excess sludge must be removed from the tank every six months using a specialized company.
Make a sure that vents are properly installed.
