Manufactured by WTE, QUANTUM is an Activated Sludge Process (ASP) sewage treatment plant designed for domestic properties, offering good treatment performance at a lower price point than WTE's higher-spec ranges.
QUANTUM has minimal visual impact above ground — only the tank lid is visible, with the low energy blower housed in a watertight compartment beneath it, so there's no separate kiosk. It's fully adjustable to suit occupancy levels, and available with a gravity or optional pumped outlet.
Available in a 10 person capacity, with other capacities available — see the full range here.
Key Features
Pollutant reduction up to 97.3%
Quiet operation
Odourless - complete aerobic digestion throughout the sewage treatment plant.
Minimal visual impact - only the small tank lid is visible. The low energy blower is housed in a watertight housing under the lid, so there is no kiosk above ground.
Fully adjustable to suit the number of people using it.
One-piece tank construction - one-piece moulded construction ensures no structural weakness.
Very small size enables economic installation in tight spaces.
The QUANTUM domestic sewage treatment plant recycles its own waste products resulting in less sludge to remove.
No Primary Settlement Tank - No Primary Tank Odour.
QUANTUM sewage treatment plants can be supplied for different inlet invert levels - 550mm to 1,500mm (please select this option if required).
EN 12566-3 certified
How it works
Incoming sewage is screened to prevent accidental non-degradable products entering the digestion chamber. The Vibro-Screen™ allows organic sewage solids to enter the tank without problems.
The screened sewage is aerated, and a microbial 'soup' develops that digests the pollutants and organic matter in the remaining sewage. These beneficial microbes are constantly topped up with the microbes that settle out at the bottom of the final settlement tank, ensuring a constant supply of bacteria for the digestion process. There is no need to add extra bacteria.
The treated sewage then enters the final settlement chamber where activated sludge bacteria settle out at the bottom. These beneficial microbes are constantly returned to the aeration chamber, via a Settled Sludge Return (SSR) pipe to the Vibro-Screen, to boost the treatment system performance.
The bacterial scum or crust that forms on the top of the effluent in the clarification chamber is returned to the Vibro-Screen via the Floating Sludge Return (FSR) pipe. This is an innovation originally developed as a feature of the VORTEX sewage treatment plant. Other activated sludge plants need this crust removing, by hand, at regular intervals.
The only electrical component is a small air blower, housed in an isolated compartment under the lid, which runs all process stages. There are no pumps, motors, or moving parts within the working part of the tank.
