ECO FA 5 treatment plant, 1500 L activated sludge system for homes

Description

ECO FA 5 treatment plant

An efficient solution for treating domestic wastewater

The ECO FA 5 treatment plant is a compact, reliable system designed for biological treatment of domestic wastewater using activated-sludge technology. It is ideal for homes without access to the sewer network, providing a high level of treatment and stable operation over time.

The system works by continuous aeration from an external compressor, which supports the aerobic bacteria that break down organic matter. Compared with a conventional septic tank, the ECO FA 5 treatment plant delivers better quality discharged water and a more efficient treatment process.

The tank is a one-piece unit made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material resistant to corrosion, mechanical shocks and temperature changes. Its watertight construction and internal compartments ensure durable, safe operation in all conditions.

Main benefits

✔ efficient biological treatment with activated sludge
✔ a modern alternative to conventional septic tanks
✔ low energy consumption (compressor included)
✔ watertight one-piece HDPE construction
✔ high resistance to corrosion and wear
✔ simple installation and easy integration into the site
✔ easy maintenance and low running costs

Ideal for

✔ permanently occupied family homes
✔ households with 4–6 users
✔ holiday homes or remote properties
✔ areas without access to the sewer network

🔹How the ECO FA 5 treatment plant works

Treatment takes place in several stages inside the tank:

1️⃣ Initial separation – solid particles are retained and settle in the lower compartment
2️⃣ Biological aeration – the compressor supplies oxygen for the aerobic bacteria that break down organic matter

3️⃣ Settling – the activated sludge is separated from the treated water
4️⃣ Discharge – the treated water is discharged in a controlled way to drainage or an infiltration system

📌 The system runs continuously and steadily, with no complex mechanical parts inside the tank.

🔹Recommendations for use and maintenance

📌 For optimal operation, do not put the following into the system:

🚫 paints, solvents and harsh chemicals
🚫 large amounts of oils and fats
🚫 solid objects (wet wipes, textiles, plastic)
✔ check the compressor regularly
✔ empty periodically, depending on use
✔ keep it running continuously to keep the bacteria stable
