Wastewater disposal, small sewage treatment plants and polishing ponds
Wastewater disposal in urban areas is usually carried out via a combined sewer system and direct discharge into a body of water.
In rural regions, simple cesspools ("pozo ciego") are often the only option, with direct discharge into the ground. Both methods place a significant burden on the groundwater and the water cycle.
There are also various suppliers of bioreactors, all of which function with varying degrees of effectiveness and reliability.
From my professional experience, I have acquired extensive knowledge and expertise in the construction and operation of small-scale wastewater treatment plants and three-chamber systems, which I have successfully implemented in Paraguay.
The pilot plant in Mbocayaty, with a capacity of approximately 4.3 cubic meters, currently serves three houses with four residential units. The outflow from the third chamber leads to a polishing pond containing carp and tilapia, which are safe for consumption.
This ensures that the water cycle remains intact and unaffected.
I strongly recommend the construction of such a wastewater treatment facility. The additional costs compared to a standard septic tank are manageable, and the benefits for people and the environment are enormous. In cases of temporarily high groundwater levels (e.g., after heavy rainfall), this is the only sensible and odor-free treatment method.
The system's dimensions are determined by the number of residents (PE = Population Equivalent).
The offer in detail:
-
Conceptual consultation considering technical aspects
-
Planning and dimensioning of a suitable solution and the associated piping
-
Earthworks using a mini-excavator or manual excavation
-
Complete construction, including covering and commissioning of the wastewater system
-
Annual sampling and wastewater analysis to verify treatment performance
