There are a growing number of US town councils implementing the Advanced Enviro-Septic system in large scale Community Wastewater Disposal Schemes. Councils are now choosing to develop a number of smaller localised wastewater treatment sites that take advantage of local topography and existing infrastructure, instead of creating huge sewage treatment facilities that require prohibitive capital [...]
Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES) has recently been installed in the new Elliot Heads Foreshore Masterplan and Kiosk project near Bundaberg. This extensive redevelopment project, undertaken by the Bundaberg Regional Council, was completed in June 2015. Elliot Heads Foreshore is a popular recreational park for locals and tourists who enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline and parkland for [...]
Every now and then we get a homeowner contacting us about nasty smells coming from their septic system and what could be causing it. It’s poo of course! (well poo gases to be exact). Usually this odor emanates from the vent stack on the roof. Each drain in your house has a vent stack associated [...]
There is a growing level of concern in relation to the use of flushable wipes as an alternative to toilet paper and the impact they have on both municipal and domestic sewerage treatment systems. Sydney Water removes over 500 tonnes of wet wipes from their sewers each year and the problem is growing. Many of [...]
Of the 250 thousand rural properties in Queensland using mechanical domestic sewerage treatment plants, a substantial number are rental properties. To ensure the ongoing, safe and effective treatment of sewerage, these complex mechanical systems require electricity even when the property is not occupied. Once a tenant vacates a rental property and instructs their electricity supplier [...]
Embattled residents have been extended a lifeline from a national on-site wastewater treatment company, Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES). Local resident, Richard Foster, has just installed an on-site wastewater treatment system at his Wentworth Falls property for just $3,000 after the State Government grant. “I am extremely happy. The Advanced Enviro-Septic has cost me less than $13,000 [...]
Over the past twelve months AES has been working with local councils, designers and plumbers in NSW to provide a solution for property owners seeking an alternative to mechanical wastewater treatment systems. We have made presentations to NSW Health, Sydney Catchment Authority, Councils and Council consultants explaining the financial and environmental benefits of our simple, [...]
A recent discussion paper published by the Department of Housing and Public Works (DHPW) highlights serious concerns for public health and safety over failure rates of on-site wastewater treatment plants. The report states that up to 80 per cent of on-site wastewater treatment plants are under-performing posing a serious risk to the health of Queensland [...]
We are very proud of the efforts achieved by our Chankar Environmental team in Australia and the Environment Technology team in New Zealand. It is just over 15 months since the first AES by the Numbers Update and we thought we should provide an update and would be a good opportunity to share the numbers with [...]
A Question often asked is: "What happens to the sludge that carries over from the primary tank and that every one accepts is the cause of progressive failure in conventional septic trenches, the destruction of subsurface irrigation and disruption and failure of the treatment process in mechanical treatment systems?" THE ANSWER: Aerobic and Anaerobic bacteria [...]
