Wastewater Treatment System can meet the Building<br />
Regulation requirements.<br />
Information on the design capacity, ventilation,<br />
safety and location requirements is given in this<br />
Irish Agrément Certificate. See Part 3 and 4 <strong>of</strong> this<br />
certificate.<br />
Part Two / Technical Specification and Control Data 2<br />
2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION<br />
2.1.1 System Details<br />
The CPT Zons® AQUAstar® Wastewater Treatment<br />
System is a Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR),<br />
mechanical aeration wastewater treatment system for<br />
treatment <strong>of</strong> domestic wastewater, from dwellings with a<br />
population equivalent <strong>of</strong> up to ten persons.<br />
The CPT Zons® AQUAstar® Wastewater Treatment<br />
System settings are configured prior to installation, and<br />
subsequently adjusted at first service, to suit the actual<br />
hydraulic and biological loading on the system. These<br />
loadings must remain within the maximum loadings<br />
specified for the unit.<br />
The system elements and specifications are given in<br />
Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2.<br />
The treatment design criteria are given in Table 2.<br />
The tank is sub-divided into three chambers i.e. two<br />
interconnected primary settlement chambers and the<br />
third and final activation chamber. The CPT Zons®<br />
AQUAstar® kit, located in the activation chamber, is<br />
electronically controlled by the MULTICOM® 100 control<br />
unit/alarm. The control unit is fitted in an insulated box,<br />
on the riser wall, above the activation chamber.<br />
The system should be connected to the domestic power<br />
supply via the IP 66 rated junction box provided. It is<br />
<strong>For</strong> <strong>inspection</strong> <strong>purposes</strong> <strong>only</strong>.<br />
<strong>Consent</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>copyright</strong> <strong>owner</strong> <strong>required</strong> for any other use.<br />
connected to the dwelling served, through a residual<br />
current circuit breaker.<br />
100 mm diameter inlet and 32 mm diameter (1 1/4 “)<br />
outlet pipe connections are provided and provision is<br />
made for ventilation.<br />
All chambers are accessed via pedestrian duty<br />
reinforced concrete access covers, which are designed<br />
to be flush with ground level. The CPT Zons®<br />
AQUAstar® unit can be readily removed from the<br />
activation chamber for servicing or maintenance.<br />
Discharge from the tank is by pumped discharge.<br />
2.1.2 Treatment process<br />
The CPT Zons® AQUAstar® Wastewater Treatment<br />
System uses activated sludge/sequencing batch reactor<br />
technology to biologically treat domestic wastewater.<br />
The treatment process steps are as follows:<br />
1 Pre-treatment: Domestic wastewater flows by gravity,<br />
into the primary chambers, which provide for the<br />
settlement and storage <strong>of</strong> primary and surplus sludge,<br />
act as a buffer for the inflow and provide additional<br />
storage capacity if <strong>required</strong>.<br />
2 Treatment: When the wastewater in the primary tank<br />
reaches the <strong>required</strong> level, a fixed volume is siphoned<br />
