Maintaining a sewage treatment system is critical for efficiency, compliance and environmental protection. At RA Dalton Ltd, we recently completed a full service of a Klargester BioTec 2, demonstrating our commitment to wastewater management and preventative maintenance.

Upon arrival, our engineers confirmed that the Klargester BioTec 2 sewage treatment plant was functioning correctly. A tanker was brought to fully empty the unit, ensuring the system could be serviced without interruption. Levels within the tank were stable and the system was performing as expected.

Our team carried out a series of essential maintenance actions to guarantee continued reliability:

• New filter and diaphragms fitted to the compressor for improved aeration.
• Diffuser head cleaned, ensuring efficient oxygen transfer.
• Enka matting washed down to maintain biological integrity.
• Tanker fully emptied the unit, preventing sludge build-up.
• Loss of pressure tested – all readings within specification.
• Beacon checked – operating correctly for system safety.

Every component was inspected and serviced to ensure the BioTec 2 system continues to run efficiently and in compliance with environmental standards.

The Klargester BioTec 2 is a highly effective sewage treatment system designed for domestic and light commercial applications. It uses a biological aeration process to break down organic matter in wastewater. Here’s how it works:

• Primary Settlement Zone: Coarse solids enter the system and settle at the bottom, forming sludge that must be periodically removed.

• Aeration Chamber: The liquid is continuously distributed over a plastic suspended filter by an integral lift, powered by a remotely sited blower. Wastewater passes through Enka matting, which provides a large surface area for aerobic bacteria to thrive. These microorganisms naturally degrade organic pollutants.

• Diffused Air System: The compressor and diffuser head introduce oxygen, supporting bacterial activity and ensuring efficient treatment.
• Final Settlement Zone: Remaining solids settle out, leaving high-quality effluent suitable for discharge.

This design is energy-efficient, quiet and odour-free, making it ideal for properties requiring reliable wastewater treatment.

Enka matting is a crucial component within the BioTec 2 system. It acts as a biological media, providing a textured surface for bacteria to colonize. These bacteria are the heart of the treatment process, breaking down organic waste and ensuring clean effluent. Regular cleaning of the Enka mat during servicing prevents clogging and maintains optimal bacterial activity.

Routine servicing of systems like the Klargester BioTec 2 is essential to prevent breakdowns, maintain compliance and protect the environment. Neglecting maintenance can lead to sludge overload, reduced treatment efficiency and costly repairs.
