Tanks-UK Adds Commercial Sewage Treatment Plants To Range!
Sewage treatment plants are fast becoming the sewage management system of choice for situations where a connection to a main sewer is either unavailable or not viable. This is because a sewage treatment plant removes liquid effluent from the sewage and cleans it to a degree that makes it safe to release into watercourses. It […]
Focusing on Water Treatment: Sewage Treatment Plants
The wastewater from toilets, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry appliances must be treated before it is safe to release into the environment. While cesspits and septic tanks have for centuries been the only solution, sewage treatment plants are now the preferred option as they work more efficiently and are better for the environment. In this blog […]
Focusing on Wastewater: Pump Stations
In this post, we take a look at wastewater pump stations: what they are, why they are needed and where they are typically used. What is a wastewater pump station and what does it do? A pump station in its simplest form is the combination of a holding tank and a pump system, used to […]
Agricultural effluent
Effluent is basically defined as liquid waste. Because of the varied nature of liquid waste there are a number of pollutant hazards to be considered. Untreated effluent must never be allowed to enter watercourses, and the Environment Agency in the UK constantly monitor for pollution. DEFRA is also involved in pollution prevention. So what can […]

Effluent Treatment systems
When you think of effluent treatment you probably think of sewage treatment plants. But this is not the only type of effluent which requires treatment before it is allowed to be discharged. Industrial process liquid waste is also effluent requiring treatment. As discussed in an earlier blog post, the word ‘effluent’ means waste outflow, generally […]
Effluent Bulk Storage Tanks
The definition of effluent is basically ‘an outflowing of waste liquid’. But rarely can liquid waste from farms and industry literally outflow directly into a watercourse, the ground, or even a soakaway drain. If not treated at source, there will be an environmental requirement for storage tanks for safe containment prior to collection by a […]
Fabricated Plastic tanks and accessories
Sometimes tanks need to be supplied as complete bespoke projects. For instance, you may need industrial chemical tanks to fit in a specific space. Or maybe you need to fit a plastic water tank into the back of a vehicle or a boat, and none of the standard ones are suitable. Bespoke plastic fabricated tanks […]
Private drainage systems – what’s the difference between cess pits, septic tanks, sewage treatment plants and pump stations?
Not everyone is on mains drainage. There are a lot of reasons why you might need a private water treatment system. But did you know that there are different systems depending on the circumstances? Cess pits In the most basic form, cess pits to store untreated waste are still permissible in certain circumstances, and are […]
