A school or kindergarten without sewers has a heavy load during term and almost none in the holidays. The system must cope with both. For a school with 150–250 pupils, the usual solution is an ECR Grand 20,000 L septic tank or a combination of tanks in series, plus a grease separator for the canteen. Seasonal camps usually manage better with holding tanks than with biological plants.
Safety: covers must be secured and out of children's reach, and the tank placed away from the playground and schoolyard.
Hygiene: no odours or backflow during school hours. This means sizing with spare capacity and scheduling emptying during the holidays.
Canteen or kitchen: greasy water must be separated before the septic tank, otherwise the usable volume falls quickly.

Indicative values: 10 day pupils without a canteen ≈ 1 P.E.; with a canteen, 5–6 pupils ≈ 1 P.E.; 1 teacher ≈ 0.5 P.E.; in residential camps, 1 bed ≈ 1 P.E. Example: a school with 200 pupils, a canteen and 20 staff ≈ 35 + 10 = 45 P.E., i.e. the ECR Grand 20,000 L range or an ECO FA 10 plant with a buffer tank.
Biological plants need a steady load; after long breaks they may need restarting. For schools and camps with long breaks, a holding tank is often the safer solution.
Away from the playground, with access for the vacuum tanker and a secured cover. Minimum distances from buildings and wells are set by the design and local regulations.
It depends on the volume and number of pupils; for a 20,000 L tank serving 200 pupils, usually every few weeks during the school year. We recommend a full emptying before the start of the year.
