The Balmoral CAP is a biological aeration type treatment plant designed to produce a moderate quality of final effluent in addition to overcoming several of the common problems associated with small packaged domestic wastewater treatment units.
Common problems which can occur are:
“Fixed film” types, which have a “media” matrix, can suffer from media blockage because of excessive bacteria growth. Replacement/ maintenance of the media material may be required at regular intervals.
Mechanical/electrical components within the tanks are difficult to maintain and can be a safety risk.
The liquor is not spread evenly over the available bacteria preventing an adequate oxygen supply.
The Balmoral CAP overcomes these problems because:
There is no “fixed” media within the CAP to become blocked - it operates on the “activated sludge” principal whereby the bacteria floats in suspension in the reactor vessel and forms an “active soup” of “mixed liquor”.
