Biological septic tanks

The biological septic tank is a prefabricated device for the primary treatment of domestic wastewater from residential buildings, apartment complexes, and community facilities.
Complying with UNI EN 12566-1 and Italian Legislative Decree 152/2006, it is CE-marked (excluding modular models) and designed for simple, stable civil wastewater solutions.
Constructed from one-piece LLDPE (polyethylene) with PVC fittings, a T-shaped deflector, and a submerged outlet pipe, it ensures efficient sedimentation and anaerobic sludge digestion through reduced flow velocity. Suitable for residential, community, school, camping, and hospitality applications.

Main specifications and fields of application

Operation

  1. CALM AREA: Zone where the incoming wastewater slows down, allowing sedimentation of sludge and separation of lighter substances.
  2. SLUDGE: Separated sludge settles at the bottom of the tank and undergoes anaerobic digestion by bacterial flora.

Applications

  • Residential homes
  • Apartment buildings
  • Communities and schools
  • Campsites and hospitality facilities

Technical advantages

  • Single-compartment system: sedimentation + anaerobic digestion
  • Durable buried polyethylene (PE) tank
  • T-shaped deflector and submerged outlet pipe
  • Biogas vent and inspection covers
  • Easy maintenance and desludging

Features of the biological septic tanks

Septic tanks are reliable devices for primary wastewater treatment passive, stable, simple, and cost-effective purification systems.
They are used for the primary treatment of blackwater from WC drains serving domestic or equivalent discharges.
The tank’s design forces the effluent to pass slowly through the liquid mass, allowing settling of heavier solids and separation of lighter materials (oils, greases, etc.). At the same time, an anaerobic fermentation process begins, leading to breakdown and transformation of suspended solids into dissolved and colloidal substances. The effluent thus exits with a low concentration of solids. Although septic tanks are typically used only for replacement in existing systems, some local authorities still permit their installation.

Types

Single-chamber, Two-chamber, Three-chamber

Use

Primary treatment of blackwater from toilets.

Product certification
