Small wastewater treatment plants are often overwhelmed by load fluctuations, such as those found in hotels, restaurants, community centers, and sports facilities. The solution? The activation of an overload storage tank!

Why is an overload storage tank the ideal solution?
In our example, we show how the overall system handles short-term peak loads:

• Top image: The small treatment plant operates at full capacity under normal conditions.
• Middle image: Excess wastewater that exceeds the capacity of the small treatment plant is directed into the overload storage tank.
• Bottom image: During times of low load, the wastewater stored in the overload tank is returned to the small treatment plant.

Advantages at a glance:

• The small treatment plant remains in normal operation despite peak loads.
• Ideal conditions are created for stable treatment performance.
