Why You Should Consider A Low Maintenance Portable Sewage Treatment Plant

1. Why You Should Consider A Low Maintenance Portable Sewage Treatment Plant A portable sewage treatment plant is a system that can be rapidly deployed to a temporary development to provide short-term wastewater treatment. Portable sewage treatment plants are generally available to either rent or purchase, giving you flexibility based on your site – and organisation’s – needs. An example where a Portable Sewage Treatment Plant might be a good idea is for a worker camp for oil and gas drilling, or a large construction project or gas pipeline. The portable system can be delivered to the site and setup rapidly. At that point, when the camp is ready to relocate, the wastewater treatment plant can subsequently be relocated to where it is needed next. The benefit of a portable sewage treatment plant is that it can be more easily moved based on need than any other solution. Portable sewage treatment plants can be designed to deal with domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater or wastewater from any commercial application. The real benefit of portable or temporary sewage systems is that they involve individual modules that are all fully containerised. So regardless of how tailored the application needs to be, a practical solution can be designed and developed to suit your unique needs. The general arrangement of the sewage treatment plant within the site should take into account the subsurface conditions and natural grades to offer the necessary facilities at a minimum cost. In the layout of the sewage treatment plant, the designer should orient the structures to provide adequate allowances for future linear expansions of the different treatment stages and process units, and arrange the plant so that the best advantage can be taken of the prevailing wind and weather conditions. The building orientation can be utilized to reduce the effects of odours, misting and freezing problems and energy usage. The plant design should also allow for the probability of snow drifting to reduce its effects on operations if that is a potential issue for the site.

2. Within these limitations, the designer should work towards a sewage treatment plant layout where the various processing units are arranged in a logical progression to avoid the necessity for major pipelines or conduits to convey sewage, sludge, or chemicals from one module to the next, and also to arrange the plant layout to give the convenience of operation and ease of flow splitting for proposed and future treatment units. In order to avoid the risks of high voltage lines crossing the site, a high voltage pole should be situated on the property line. Depending on the distance from this pole to the control building, the step-down transformer could be situated at the terminal pole. If the distance between the terminal pole and the building is excessive, the transformer should be situated adjacent to the control building. The high voltage connections should be brought by underground cable to the pothead at the transformer. In this way, the primary and secondary terminals of the transformer are completely enclosed and no fence is needed around the transformer. Sewage Treatment System works sites should be adequately fenced and posted to prevent persons from gaining unauthorised access. Remote monitoring capabilities of sewage treatment plant ensure that the facilities manager can keep an eye on it even when off site or in another state or territory, make adjustments as needed and identify potential issues before they become a problem on-site.
