The Balmoral CAP is a biological aeration type treatment plant designed to produce a moderate quality of final effluent in addition to overcoming several of the common problems associated with small packaged domestic sewage treatment units.
Common problems which can occur are:
• “Fixed film” types, which have a “media” matrix, can suffer from media blockage because of excessive bacteria growth. Replacement/ maintenance of the media material may be required at regular intervals
• Mechanical/electrical components within the tanks are difficult to maintain and can be a safety risk
• The liquor is not spread evenly over the available bacteria preventing an adequate oxygen supply
The Balmoral CAP overcomes these problems because:
• There is no “fixed” media within the CAP to become blocked up - it operates on the “activated sludge” principal whereby the bacteria floats in suspension in the reactor vessel and forms an “active soup” of “mixed liquor”
• All functions within the tank are operated by air power generated by a small compressor contained in the neck of the tank, allowing maintenance to be carried out safely and easily
• The bacteria receives a high quality air supply and is completely mixed and aerated by the high volume fine bubble diffuser.
Balmoral CAP construction Balmoral’s continuous aeration plant, and all internal parts, are either rotationally moulded in polyethylene or stainless steel offering a high level of impact resistance and long-term durability.
