Operational Parameters of the BioDisc® Sewage System

A precision-engineered BioDisc® treatment plant is specifically designed to eliminate the common pain points of legacy septic tanks. By utilizing an automated RBC matrix rather than a standard, noisy aeration blower, the system guarantees virtually silent operation, zero atmospheric hydrogen sulfide emissions, and exceptionally low continuous electrical consumption.

Whether upgrading a standard residential property with a Klargester BioDisc® BA, or outfitting a large-scale domestic site with a Klargester BioDisc® BE, our deployment protocol ensures optimal hydraulic alignment. We manage all inlet/outlet pipework routing and control panel calibrations to ensure immediate, WRC-compliant biological functionality upon handover.

How it Works

PRIMARY SETTLEMENT TANK

Wastewater and sewerage flows into the primary settlement tank where the large solids are retained for future removal.

FIRST STAGE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

The liquor and fine solids then flow into the Biological Treatment Zone 1 where the first stage of treatment occurs.

SECOND STAGE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

The liquor is then fed forward at a controlled rate into Biological Treatment Zone 2 for further treatment.

FINAL SETTLEMENT TANK

The clean liquid passes into the final settlement tank where it can be discharged to ground or water course.

FAQs

1. What is the functional difference between the Klargester BioDisc BA and the BioDisc BE?

The distinction lies in their volumetric capacity and Population Equivalent (PE) rating. The Klargester BioDisc BA is designed for standard domestic applications, efficiently processing wastewater for up to 6 people. In contrast, the Klargester BioDisc BE is engineered for larger domestic or multi-occupancy properties, capable of managing the hydraulic load of up to 21 people.

2. How does a Klargester BioDisc domestic sewage treatment plant process raw effluent?

Unlike standard aeration plants that pump air into the water, a BioDisc treatment plant uses a Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC). This consists of banks of media discs mounted on a central shaft that slowly rotates. As the discs rotate, they expose the naturally occurring aerobic bacteria alternately to the raw effluent and to the atmospheric oxygen, accelerating the biological breakdown of the wastewater across two distinct internal treatment zones.

3. Why is it important to use a certified Klargester installer for my new tank?

Deploying a Klargester tank requires precise civil excavation, electrical routing, and control panel commissioning. Utilizing an uncertified contractor can void the manufacturer's 7-year warranty and risk improper hydraulic leveling, which prevents the RBC mechanism from functioning correctly. As certified installers, Drain Surgeons Group guarantees that your system is fitted strictly to Kingspan/Klargester’s technical specifications and complies fully with Environment Agency discharge laws.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

I contacted Drain Surgeons today at 5:20 PM after leaving a Google review, and was quickly greeted by a lovely lady named Flo. From the very first moment, she showed nothing but kindness, professionalism, and efficiency. Within 45 minutes, an engineer called Lucas was already on-site—unbelievable response time!

A payment promise was arranged quickly, and the service was excellent value for money. The engineer Lucas who attended was not only highly competent but also an absolute gentleman. He ensured the issue was fully resolved before leaving, all within a three-hour window.

Flo and the team at Drain Surgeons made what could have been a stressful situation seamless and reassuring. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of reliable, fast, and courteous drain unblocking services in Reading. Five stars!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a blocked drain from the kitchen and a Man named Tony came round to unblock it. I have had an issue 4 times over the last 10 years and had other companies out to fix it but they didn’t do a great job, but Tony has done a better job then any of the previous visits from other companies, I watched him in and throughout and he has drained and cleaned the pipes to the best I have ever seen, the amount of build of grease and oil and whatever stuff that he cleaned out was amazing, a stand up chap, great work ethic, will definitely be using your company in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monday evening external drain blocked, flowing onto patio. Engineer Tony Murrell came.  After some initial investigations and testing, together we located the neighbour as the drain access.  Then Tony was able to swiftly clear the blockage,  which we subsequently, successfully flushed through.  All good. Cause was identified as probably due to a relocated drain access point, which resulted in a pipe diameter change, so a place for debris to dwell.  Check the rest of the drain, looked in great condition, as we have water softener.
Good discussions together throughout.
Thank you Drain Surgeons!
