Pressure Sewer Network—

7

Pressure Sewer Network—Pressure Sewer Systems are one of the most economical and environmentally friendly sewerage systems on themarket today.

Suitable for both existing on-site treatment, backlog areas and greenfield sites, Aquatec’s Pressure Sewer Systems will operate effectively across any terrain. Our construction and installation methods cause minimal disruption to landscapes, with large inbuilt storage to protect against effluent overflow.

Pipe Network—Aquatec’s Pressure Sewer Systems deliver a network of fully sealed sewer pipes, fed by a grinder pump system located at each property.

Remote Control—Our SPC Control System enables remote monitoring and analysis of trends in real time across desktop, smartphone or cloud devices via your SCADA Platform.

Processing—Market leading chambers contain IP68 rated submersible pumps, grinding solids in the wastewater to a fine slurry for treatment plant processing.

Boundary Connection—Boundary Connection Kits (BCK) provide a means of isolation at the property boundary and backflow prevention.

Delivery—The slurry is pumped through small diameter pipes, following the natural gradient of the land, from the house to the main, and the main to the treatment facility.

Design Software—Aquatec offers Design Software to assist Consultants and Engineers in selecting the right product for the right application and to carry out preliminary reticulation designs using Aquatec’s Design Aid programme.

Environmental Benefits—Since the introduction of Pressure Sewer technology to the Australian market, Aquatec has played a pivotal role in replacing on-site treatment systems with sealed Pressure Sewer Systems.

Moulded Inlet Stubs —Aquatec’s Pressure Sewer chambers are engineered with Moulded Inlet Stubs to provide a guaranteed seal between the chamber and inlet pipes. Flexible couplings seal pipes from plumbing connections to the chamber, eliminating the need for on-site penetrations into chambers and using rubber seals prone to environmental leaks and ingress.

Domed Base—Aquatec’s Pressure Sewer chambers are engineered with a Domed Base forcing solids into the cutter of the pump, eliminating the potential for solids build up in dead zones and associated odour issues.

Aerated Treatment—For ongoing odour reduction, Aquatec’s pumps incorporate a multi functional anti-syphon valve for offloading a small, steady stream of effluent back into the chamber to aerate effluent into the tank.

Reduced Excavation Periods—Aquatec’s pre-engineered Pressure Sewer Systems are delivered on-site as a complete unit for immediate installation, reducing the period of excavation required and minimising disruption to surrounding flora and fauna.

Carbon Footprint—Our systems can be delivered to site, installed, connected and commissioned within a short time period, heavily reducing C02 emissions associated with prolonged periods of excavation and installation.

Secure Low Profile Covers—Aquatec’s aesthetic polyethylene, low profile SAFE covers blend into surrounding environments for minimal disturbance to our cherished landscapes.

Rotational Mould Formed Chambers—Polyethylene Chambers—Aquatec’s Polyethylene Chambers are rotationally moulded in a range of pre-set sizes. Designed for domestic, commercial and industrial applications with single or multiple pump configurations, our Polyethylene Chamber designs are based on advanced computer modelling and subject to Finite Element Analysis to ensure chamber integrity.

Fibreglass Chambers—Aquatec’s Fibreglass Chambers are engineered on a case-by-case basis for multiple commercial and industrial pump applications where greater storage and depth is required. Aquatec’s Composite Engineers produce custom designs based on ground loadings, site conditions and storage requirements.

Moulded Inlet Stubs—Aquatec’s Inlet Stubs eliminate on-site penetration of the chamber for inlet connections and provide allowances for ground movement. Our guaranteed seal is applied prior to delivery of the chamber to site for protection against environmental leaks, spills and groundwater ingress.
