Platinum residential

The Platinum Residential Sewage System is an advanced sustainable technology for the treatment of wastewater in domestic homes and small communities of 6, 8, 10 and 12 persons.

Key features of the Platinum submerged aerated filter (SAF) system are robust treatment, low power consumption and reduced maintenance costs compared to conventional activated biomass plants.

The only moving part in the Platinum system is a small compressor unit which has a 50 watt power consumption and requires no lubrication whatsoever. The compressor is completely oil-free and has no sliding parts (it is the sliding parts that can cause problems in other types of compressor).The unit is also virtually silent in operation.

The Platinum wastewater treatment system has a continuous recycle system and secondary sludge return system (features normally only found on much larger and more expensive plants). These features ensure that the sewage is passed through the filter media over and over again, resulting in improved solids breakdown along with a clarified final effluent of 20:30 standard.

The systems underground installation and low profile access covers result in a minimal visual impact on the surrounding area.

Nutrient removal options are available as required. Gravity or Pumped outlet versions are available.

Tertiary treatment is also available with the Platinum SAF system. This is achieved by following the Platinum with additional Puraflo modules. The secondary treated effluent emerging from the Platinum system is passed through the Puraflo modules and undergoes a third stage or tertiary treatment. Significantly higher levels of treatment can be achieved through tertiary treatment. the Puraflo tertiary treatment option is capable of achieving a 5:5 (BOD:TSS) standard.
