An Astell Effluent and Waste Water Decontamination Plant can collect and store all the above waste, then process for safe release into the drainage system. Effluent Decontamination Plants are the up to date version of what were once known as ‘Kill Tanks’.
These plants generally come in two types, Continuous & Batch Sterilization
Each system has to be sized to ensure that the daily production of waste is catered for with capacities ranging from 100 to 5000 litres. Each tank is fully contained and designed to ensure that all connections are above any fluid level eliminating dangerous and costly leaks. All vapours and expelled air are filtered every cycle. Every tank is controlled via it’s own Full Colour Touch Screen Controller.
