An England-based nursing home has selected WCS Environmental Engineering (WCSEE) to provide temporary onsite wastewater treatment.
The home, Chelston Park, is a 31-room nursing and residential home in Wellington, U.K. Because the home is in a rural location and not connected to the public sewer, the property is served by an onsite wastewater treatment plant and reed bed.
When part of the system reached the end of its operational life, it was taken out of service and the business needed a temporary solution to ensure high standards of treatment were maintained while a permanent fix was planned out. With tankering proving costly, the business and its specialist consultant Cress Water opted to hire a submerged aerated filter (SAF) unit and blower on a temporary basis from WCSEE.
Connected between the existing inlet and final settlement tanks, the unit will provide the biological treatment process with technology that meets high standards for biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia, and soluble chemical oxygen demand.
“We are pleased to supply equipment for this temporary but important project at Chelston Park, to ensure its onsite wastewater treatment plant can maintain high environmental standards while part of the existing system is out of action,” says WCSEE technical manager Dominic Hamblin. “Hiring mobile SAF units enables sites undergoing reactive work, or planned refurbishment, to remain fully operational and within environmental consent.”
