Aerated Wastewater Treatment System

Aerated Wastewater Treatment System Coffs Harbour


What is an Aerated Wastewater Treatment System?

An Aerated Water Treatment System, or AWTS, is a system that is used to process wastewater and turn it into something that can be recycled for a variety of purposes, including irrigation and industrial water supply. AWTS was developed as an alternative in areas that do not have direct access to sewers, and it can be used to recycle the liquid waste from either a single household or a complex. An AWTS takes water from sinks, showers, toilets, baths, laundry, and other similar water-based appliances.

How Do Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems Work?


An AWTS works by using aerobic treatment to pump oxygen throughout stored wastewater, which can help to break down organic matter via a process called respiration.


This process can convert organic nitrogen and ammonia into nitrate. As well as this, AWTSs can be used to clarify liquids - that is, collect and filter out sludge and other solids - and disinfect them to remove any organisms or substances that might cause disease.

Benefits Of An Aerated Wastewater Treatment System


There are a number of benefits to choosing an AWTS for your plumbing system. An AWTS is both economical, as well as being environmentally friendly.


It reduces water wastage and promotes the recycling of water that can be used again, which in turn lowers the cost of water bills because much of the water you use will be used twice.

And of course, an AWTS is the only way to use natural processes to make wastewater reusable, making it ideal for customers who don't want to use chemicals and other artificial processes in their water recycling systems.

AWTS vs Septic Tanks


Many customers will be weighing up the pros and cons of choosing an AWTS or a septic tank, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both systems. Generally speaking, installing a septic tank is cheaper and simpler, as septic tanks require less maintenance and don't use electricity

However, this lower price comes at its own cost; since septic tanks only use anaerobic bacteria, while AWTS use both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, the results offered by an AWTS are superior.


The wastewater that is recycled by an AWTS can be used both above and below ground, whereas the water treated in a septic tank is still classed as a contaminant and therefore can only be used below ground.
