Eco-friendly wastewater treatment is not a compromise between comfort and responsibility towards nature ā it is a modern, safe and cost-effective long-term choice for a private house, summer cottage or business property. AUGUST biological wastewater treatment plants can achieve up to 98% wastewater treatment, significantly reducing the risk to groundwater and the environment.
Biological wastewater treatment ā why is it eco-friendly?
Biological treatment uses a natural process: microorganisms break down pollutants, turning them into a safer form. As a result:
- pollution of the environment is reduced,
- there are no unpleasant odours,
- treated water can be discharged in line with requirements or reused (e.g. for watering the garden, if the specific solution allows it).
What does a biological wastewater treatment plant treat?
The plant is designed to treat household wastewater, for example from:
- the toilet,
- shower and bath,
- sinks,
- washing machine,
- dishwasher.
This means all everyday sewage is treated in one place, and the property doesn’t need complicated or outdated alternatives.
Advantages of AUGUST plants (valued by homeowners)
Low power consumption
The AUGUST system runs economically, on average about ~0.8 kWh per day (depending on the model and load). That means lower monthly running costs.
High treatment efficiency
With correct installation and operation, a treatment level of up to 98% can be achieved.
Price and long-term value
Plant prices start at ~ā¬1650 (the exact price depends on the model and project conditions). In the long run this is often better value than solutions with higher risk, more frequent emptying and extra construction.
Full service in one place
We cover the whole cycle:
- consultation and model selection,
- installation,
- commissioning,
- regular maintenance and service.
How does a biological wastewater treatment plant work?
In simple terms, the process looks like this:
- Wastewater enters the plant, where heavy particles are separated and the flow is equalised.
- In the aeration zone, with oxygen supplied, microorganisms actively break down the pollutants.
- Settling takes place, where the biological mass separates from the water.
- The treated water is discharged safely, according to the chosen solution.
Where can treated wastewater be discharged?
Treated water can be:
- discharged to infiltration / drainage (depending on soil conditions),
- discharged to a ditch / drainage system, if this can be approved and is permitted,
- in certain cases used for landscaping (depending on the solution and requirements).
Important: the right discharge method depends on the soil, the groundwater level and the specific situation, so we choose it together with the customer after an assessment.
Who is this solution suitable for?
Eco-friendly wastewater treatment with an AUGUST plant is suitable for:
- private houses and new builds,
- summer cottages,
- houses lived in permanently or seasonally,
- properties where ecology and lower running costs matter,
- places where the safety of groundwater and the environment must be considered.
Installation: how does the process work?
The process usually looks like this:
- Consultation and choice of a suitable model
- Assessment of site conditions (soil, terrain, access, discharge)
- Installation and connections
- Commissioning and basic training on use
- Scheduled maintenance (so the system works reliably for years)
Maintenance and correct operation
To keep the plant working efficiently in the long term:
- have it maintained according to the recommended schedule,
- avoid large amounts of aggressive chemicals,
- don’t put things in the sewer that don’t belong there (wet wipes, oils, construction debris, etc.).
We can also provide regular maintenance, so you don’t have to think about it.
