Local firm has new septic tank system

HOUSEHOLDERS upgrading or replacing their existing septic tanks may be interested in the BIOCELL sewage treatment system, which is a low-energy compact unit manufactured from high-strength concrete that will last a lifetime according to suppliers Burke Water Systems of Ballybeg, Corrandulla. The BIOCELL system has been developed in order to provide a highly effective sewage treatment system that uses natural bacteria to treat sewage sustainably. It offers very low energy consumption, using 60 per cent less electricity than conventional systems in eco-mode, which means low energy costs. [private] The Corrandulla company says that it has a remarkable effluent quality that is far higher than the requirement in Ireland. Biocell can also be used for replacing or upgrading an existing septic tank to current standards. Meeting the highest EU and local authority standards, the company's system has the latest EN12566-3 and EN 12566-1 European quality standards cert. According to a spokesperson for the Corrandulla firm many systems claim to have this certification, but do not have. The company says that for anyone building a new house or needing an upgrade this certification, which their water systems have, is now a legal requirement for all septic tanks. 'Our experienced staff are always available to provide technical advice and cost effective solutions to our customers,' said the company's spokesperson.
