In the UK, we are fortunate enough to have sewage treatment systems, which takes wastewater from homes and buildings and ensures it is completely clean before releasing it back into the environment. However, some less developed countries may have to live without this, so what happens when the...
Sewage treatment plants are in charge of removing contaminants from wastewater and making sure it is fully cleaned before being released into the environment, in places like the sea, lakes or rivers etc. If your plant was to break down it could be quite a costly expense to repair, so making sure...
Sewage treatment is the process in which contaminants are removed from municipal wastewater. This wastewater mainly contains household sewage but may also contain small amounts of industrial wastewater too. Many different processes are taken place to produce treated wastewater and can be broken...

A sewage pumping station helps to carry waste from a building to the main sewer. The difference between a pumping station and normal sewage systems is that the latter relies on gravity to transport the waste, whereas the former has a more complex system, allowing it to transport waste up a hill...
A sewage system is made up of a network of pipes that transport waste from a property to the main sewer. Usually, this happens through gravity, as the waste flows down into the sewer. However, when the property sits on lower ground and the mains sewer is higher than it, this usual method won’t...

Essentially, a sewage treatment plant operates by circulating air to encourage the growth of bacteria to break down sewage. The goal being to deliver much cleaner, more environmentally friendly effluent. It involves a similar process to a typical septic tank but has some key differences. Sewage...
Building regulations dictate that foul drainage must be connected to a public sewer, unless this isn’t possible – in which case, there are various sewage treatment options available. These can be divided into the three broad categories of cesspools, septic tanks and package sewage treatment...
The principle of a pumped drainage system is to enable foul water, surface water and sewage to be efficiently and economically removed in areas of low gravity, or where it may otherwise be difficult to achieve a connection to the main drain. Sewer pipes tend to rely on gravity for the movement...
