Aerobic Wastewater Treatment Systems

Confused about Aerobic Wastewater Systems?

Wastewater can be broken down with either aerobic or anaerobic digestion. As the names imply, aerobic digestion is using bacteria that require oxygen to work whereas anaerobic digestion uses bacteria that don't need oxygen. There are two key advantages of an aerobic wastewater system; firstly, the bacteria can break down the wastewater a lot faster and secondly, it can break it down to a higher standard. We will go into the different aerobic wastewater system types etc, but if you'd rather just leave it to an expert fill in your details below and we'll be in touch.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic Wastewater Systems

There are essentially 2 types of aerobic wastewater systems for the home and 1 anaerobic system. Before we go into more detail about aerobic wastewater systems, let's go through the 3 main types of systems.

Anaerobic Wastewater Systems

Septic tanks use anaerobic digestion to break down wastewater. Not only is the tank sealed, but the scum that floats on top of the effluent forms an airtight layer as well.

Aerobic Wastewater Systems

This is where it starts to get a bit confusing with the plethora of different names used for the same type of system (not to mention brand names). But essentially, there are 2 main types of aerobic wastewater treatment systems:

• Home Sewage Treatment Plants
• Sand Filter Septic System

Home Sewage Treatment Plants

Before we explain the basics of these systems, let's go through some of the different names they go by:

• Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP)
• Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS)
• Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU)
• Biocycle (This is actually a brand name)

Now you know some of the names, how do they work? An aerobic wastewater system uses pumps etc to aerate the effluent in the tanks, ensuring it is oxygenated for the bacteria. Find out how a HSTP breaks down wastewater.

Sand Filter Septic Systems

This is where a biological sand filter is used for effluent from a septic tank to run through allowing aerobic bacteria living in the sand to digest it. As the filter is not sealed, oxygen is readily available. Find out how Septic System Sand Filters work.
