As presented technologies serve different purposes like collection, transport or treatment, an useful and<br />

appropriate combination has to be found for each site. Transport of wastewater and sludge is not necessary<br />

if treatment takes place on site. Some common combinations of the presented technologies or wastewater<br />

treatment components are the following:<br />

On-site: • Septic tank + soak pit/ leach field<br />

• Imhoff tank + constructed wetlands + sludge drying beds<br />

Centralised: • Septic tank + small bore sewer + centralised treatment plant<br />

• Conventional sewer system + centralised treatment plant<br />
