Description

Septic tank for basic treatment to off-mains wastewater

The Marsh Euro Septic tank offers significant technical improvements and cost-savings over current market options.

The range, available in capacities from 2800-4500 litres, is CE marked to comply with Construction Product Regulations and compliments the company’s existing range of horizontal septic tanks.

The Euro:Septic is tested and certified to EN12566-1 Annex B and benefits from an outstanding hydraulic efficiency of 99.63%. Horizontal septic tanks up to 20,000 litres are also tested and certified to EN12566-1.

Normally the simplest and most economical means of treating wastewater from small developments, a septic tank holds sewage and allows solids to settle into sludge at the bottom of the tank. Here it is naturally broken down by a process known as anaerobic digestion, which provides settlement and some biological treatment. The effluent is not fully treated and must receive additional treatment before discharge to the water environment – the most common method being to spread the effluent to land via an underground drainage field.
