Find out moreWith lifting eyes for quick and safe unloading, this Marsh Ensign domestic sewage treatment plant self-levels on the base. The unique and innovative pipe connections make for efficient and cost-effective installation. With various populations to choose from, you can find the right treatment plant for you.
In normal ground conditions, the unit only needs a pea-shingle surround. The Ensign plant is best installed at a 7m distance from a dwelling or 10m from a stream. Engineered with high-performance materials, the treatment plants include metal components all made from stainless steel.
Package Sewage Treatment Plants (PSTP's) are ideal when groundwater is vulnerable in its environment, drainage field percolation values are limiting, or direct discharge to watercourse or surface water sewer is the ideal method of discharge. This range effectively treats final effluent to relevant British and European Standards, meaning that it can be discharged back into the watercourse with national consent standards. The range of gravity or pumped outlets follows site requirements and contains 100% virgin resin (no chalk fillers).
The minimum design life of the tank structure is 25 years (both internally and externally). The compressor blower has a 2-year guarantee and the diffuser has a 5-year guarantee.
