Introduction
Typical factory-made domestic wastewater
treatment plants manufactured by AUGUST
IR KO JSC (hereinafter referred to as the
Manufacturer) are designed for domestic
wastewater treatment of a population
equivalent to a number of persons from 4 to 18
in private houses, hotels and boarding houses,
restaurants, schools, campers, administrative
buildings, etc. (hereinafter referred to as
Units or Unit, depending on context). Water
treated in the Units can be discharged into
open water bodies, infiltrated into the soil
or used as technical water. Wastewater is
treated in the Units biologically, in a process
where microorganisms break down and
digest the contaminants in the wastewater,
thus purifying the water. In addition to food,
vital bacterial activity also requires oxygen;
therefore, a blower, comprising an integral
part of the Unit, is installed next to the Unit
housing. All household chemicals (detergents,
cleaning agents, etc.), if used moderately, are
allowed and do not cause harmful effects on
the Unit.
Introduction
In order to avoid operational problems,
it should be ensured that the following
substances, together with wastewater,
do not come into contact with the Unit:
High concentrations of grease and oil
products (used oils, lubricants, etc.)
Toxic or hazardous substances (paints
and paint thinners, acids, etc.)
Biologically non-degradable persistent
substances (plastics, rubber, textiles,
sanitary napkins, wood, etc.)
Do not discharge storm water, drainage,
pool water or hot water–hotter than
40 °C–wastewater from farms or animal
slaughterhouses into the Unit.
