What is a Wastewater Treatment
System?
Taylex Wastewater Treatment Systems are safe, environmentally sound,
reliable, and cost-efficient. Our advanced systems use natural processes to
turn your household wastewater into clear, odourless water.
Secondary treatment systems are the most commonly used systems in
Australia. They treat your household wastewater to very high quality, allowing
you to reuse your water in areas closer to your home and neighbouring
properties, often above ground, with complete peace of mind.
Secondary Treatment Systems are designed to treat all the wastewater that is
generated by your home. The wastewater includes the sewage (black water)
that is discharged from the toilets and bidets and the sullage (grey water)
that is discharged from sinks, washing machines, dishwashers, showers, and
baths. Your Taylex ABS treats wastewater in an environmentally sustainable
way by making use of the naturally occurring bacteria that are present in the
wastewater. The system is designed to hold the polluted or degraded water
in a series of compartments where various types of bacteria can flourish
and in doing so, “treat” the water, naturally, without dangerous chemicals or
additives.
Secondary Wastewater Treatment Systems are sometimes known by different
names in different areas.
Here are some of the names you might have heard;
Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP)
Secondary Treatment System (STS)
On-site Sewage Facilities (OSSF)
Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS)
Aerobic Treatment Units (ATU)
Aerobic Septic Systems
