The table of Loadings detailed opposite was prepared by the British Water Package Sewage Treatment Plant Focus Group comprising all major manufacturers, suppliers and service companies of all types of small waste water treatment systems. The Environment Agency, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency support the use of this code of practice. This table of loadings allows the total daily sewage load from properties to be calculated and it is recommended that all manufacturers and designers should use this table when sizing and designing non-mains sewage treatment systems. The flows and loads values given represent current best knowledge within the UK but may change with time in line with per capita water use. The user/purchaser should be made aware that there is a risk of poor performance from the equipment if loads are understated. The accuracy of the declared loads is of paramount importance. expected total load and the flow, considering both peak and total flow. Guidance is provided to assist the user to identify the various sources of sewage, to consider the nature of the sewage to be treated and to make users aware of issues which may affect treat ability and system performance. The table of loadings may be used to design all sizes of sewage treatment systems serving up to 1000 population.

Please Note : Larger Retro Systems can be designed and supplied on request. *Hydraulic flows and BOD loading are based upon British Waters Flows & Loads criteria for domestic applications detailed on previous page. All systems must have a fully functional septic tank upstream with an unrestricetd influent from the tank. This is imperative in the performance of this system.
