4. Function of the SBR system

KLARO and KLARO Easy are fully biological small wastewater treatment plants that work according to
the principle of the SBR method (activated sludge plant in the impoundment method). The SBR plant is
designed for the discharge of the entire domestic waste water. The discharge of other wastewater, e.g.
the wastewater from restaurants and/or industrial enterprises etc., is only permitted when this was
already known and considered when designing the plant.
Biocides, toxic or biologically incompatible substances must not enter the plant, since they impede the
bacteria important for the wastewater treatment and cause biological process problems (more detailed
information is provided on the following pages).
In order to comply with the official requirements for treated wastewater, it is absolutely necessary to
operate the plant according to our operating and maintenance instructions that can be found on the
following pages.
In principle, the plant consists of two steps: sludge storage with an integrated pre-buffer and an activated
sludge level in the closed impoundment method (SBR reactor).
The upstream sludge storage with an integrated buffer performs the following functions:
- Storage of primary and secondary sludge,
- Retention of settleable solids and floating solids,
10 KLARO GmbH
- Storage of the supply water,

- Compensation of volume- and concentration-related fluctuations in inflowing wastewater.
The wastewater treatment plant is operated by means of a microprocessor control that drives the aerator
and the air distribution for the different lifts via solenoid valves.
Your competent water authority has determined limit values for the water quality of the treated
wastewater. Accordingly, you have purchased a plant of the effluent class which definitely complies with
these limit values. Depending on the certification, both the interval between the prescribed maintenances
(at intervals of 4 or 6 months) and the scope of the effluent values to be verified vary.
The following table provide an overview of the effluent values of KLARO.

efficiency
4.1. Plants for carbon elimination (effluent classes C)

This method is a sequence of five work steps that are carried out one after the other and are repeated
several times a day (normally four times).
- Work step 1 (valve 1) : feed
- The raw wastewater stored temporarily in the sludge storage is led to the SBR reactor via an air
lift. This reactor is positioned in such a manner that only water free of solids is pumped. By
means of a special design of the lift, a minimum water level in the sludge storage is guaranteed.
Thus, the limitation of the water level using further components (e.g. by means of a float switch)
is not necessary.
- Work step 2 (valve 2): ventilation

During this work step, the wastewater is aerated and mixed. The ventilation is provided by
diaphragm tubes or plates installed on the chamber bottom. The ventilation device of the plant is
supplied with
ambient air by an
externally
installed control
cabinet. The
required air is
generated by an
aerator. The
ventilation is
normally operated
intermittently. Figure 1: Diaphragm tube aerator Figure 2: Diaphragm plate aerator
KLARO GmbH 11
This ventilation causes two effects at the same time:

• The micro-organisms of the activated sludge are supplied with oxygen that is required for
their metabolic activity and, thus for the degradation of the contaminants.
• There is intensive contact between wastewater and bacteria.
- Work step 3: settling phase

This work step constitutes a resting phase, during which no ventilation takes place. The
activated sludge can settle according to the principle of gravity (sedimentation phase). In the
upper area, a clearwater zone develops and a sludge layer at the bottom. Any occurring floating
sludge is above the clearwater zone.
- Work step 4 (valve 3): clearwater extraction

During this phase, the biologically treated wastewater (clearwater) is pumped out of the SBR
step. This pumping process is carried out by means of air according to the airlift pump principle
(air lift). The air lift is designed in such a manner that any occurring floating sludge on the
clearwater layer is not pumped. A minimum water level in the SBR step is kept without any
further components.
- Work step 5 (valve 4): excess sludge extraction

During this working step, excess activated sludge by means of the air lift is led back from the
SBR reactor chamber into the sludge storage chamber and stored there. This excess sludge is
pumped close to the bottom of the SBR chamber.
After this fifth work step has been completed, the treatment process can start again with work step 1.
Four of the cycles described above are normally processed per day. An individual adjustment of the
switching times and the cycle number is possible after consultation with KLARO GmbH. This adjustment
may only be carried out by an authorised specialised maintenance company.
In addition to this, it is possible to manually switch the plant into the vacation mode. The vacation mode
is a significantly reduced operation of the plant during longer periods of time without inflowing
wastewater.
By means of the KLplus control, the plant can be operated depending on the actual amount of
wastewater. For this, the fill-level detection must be activated by a specialist.
Important: All chambers / containers must be aerated. This is normally performed by the wastewater line
vented via the roof. If required, additional ventilation lines or ventilation openings must be installed. In
doing so, the ventilation lines must be positioned in such a manner that natural ventilation is possible
(chimney effect).
4.2. Plants with additional nitrogen elimination

The nitrogen degradation is also carried out biologically by means of certain strains of micro-organisms.
Plants with additional nitrification create, by means of particularly intensive ventilation, optimum living
conditions for nitrifying bacteria which convert ammonia to nitrate. In plants designed for additional
denitrification, the circulation of the water and activation of the denitrifying bacteria are achieved by short
12 KLARO GmbH
aeration periods at the beginning of the ventilation phase. These bacteria transform nitrate into
elementary nitrogen.
4.3. Plants with additional phosphate elimination

The phosphate precipitation is carried out by adding polyaluminium chloride in the SBR reactor. A
removable supporting platform in the dome or on the dividing wall of the container is part of the
phosphate precipitation unit. The precipitant canister is on this platform. The switch cabinet of the plant is
equipped with a dosing pump. This dosing pump draws the precipitant out of the precipitant canister and
releases the precipitant in the SBR reactor. The precipitant is added during the feed phase of the reactor.
The precipitant quantity required can be set by means of the dosing pump. The mixing takes place during
the ventilation phase. Together with the phosphate, the precipitant forms an indissoluble compound that
settles well in the container.
The commissioning and handling of the pump is described in section 6.2.4.
4.4. Plants with additional hygienisation

The additional KLARO UV module is used for sterilising the biologically treated wastewater. The germs in
the wastewater are removed by means of ultraviolet light (UV). This is an effective, economic and
particularly environmentally friendly method. UV light eliminates pathogenic micro-organisms within
seconds without residues, harmful by-products or reduction of quality through odours. The effect of the
UV light is made use of by means of particularly effective UVC radiation (254 nm). Within a few seconds,
it causes a photochemical reaction in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that is vital for all micro-
organisms. As a result of this, the micro-organism is either eliminated or its ability to multiply is
destroyed.
With the UV dose values used for sterilisation, the UV irradiation does not cause any undesirable side
reactions. Since no disinfection-effective substance is added to the water due to the UV irradiation, there
are no depot effects after the water has passed the UV reactor.
5. The control of the small wastewater treatment plant

The plant is operated by means of the control in the cabinet door (and/or in the interior of the cabinet with
outdoors cabinets). The control allows setting the operational parameters, displaying the operating states
and querying the plant parameters. Furthermore, the operating times can be programmed by a
specialised company.
In the automatic mode, the contrast of the display can be changed by pressing the ESC and the arrow
keys at the same time.
The following figures show the structure of the control units.

5.2.5. Reading out errors – reading out old faults
The control saves fault messages and the operation of the valves using the function “Manual mode“
in the so-called logbook. By means of this function, the past fault messages can be called with their
respective dates and times. The individual messages can be called using the arrow keys. You can
exit this menu item by pressing the “Esc“ key.
 Note: Up to 128 fault messages can be saved. If this number has been reached, the oldest
message is always deleted for each new message. The memory can be deleted by skilled
maintenance personnel in the service menu using the command “Emptying the logbook“.
5.2.6. Displaying the settings
With this menu item, the current settings of the control can be displayed. Changing these settings is
not possible. This menu item is used for analysing the setting without making changes.
5.2.7. Service menu and action code
In the service menu, the operational parameters can be changed. The access to these parameters is
protected by a code. The operational parameters can also be changed by means of a specific action
code. This second maintenance level may only be accessed by qualified specialist personnel!
 In the event of unauthorised interference with the control settings, the
warranty claim expires!
5.3. Replacing fuses

Before replacing the fuses, the plant must be switched off by means of the red main switch!
In order to replace or check fuses, the control and machine cabinet must be opened with the key
supplied.
The micro-fuses described above are on the rear of the control.
Used fuses:
Micro-fuse 230 V / 50 Hz
Supply line F1 8 A, medium time lag
Consumer F2 2 A, time lag
In order to replace the micro-fuses, please proceed as follows:

– Turn the head of the holder by applying slight pressure and using a slot screwdriver
SL 1.0 x 5.5 for a quarter turn to the left (anti-clockwise).
20 KLARO GmbH
– Remove the head of the holder with the fuse.

– Replace the fuse.
– Insert the head with the fuse into the opening of the holder.
– Gently press on the head of the holder using a screwdriver and fix the fuse by turning the head
for a quarter turn to the right (clockwise).
 Note:
If you are not able to solve the problem, please contact your maintenance company or KLARO as soon
as possible.
5.4. Functional principle of the power outage detection device

The control is equipped with a power outage detection device that is powered by an integrated
emergency power supply (buffering). In the delivery state, the emergency power supply is empty. It is
charged after the control has been switched on. In the event of a blackout, the charge of an emergency
power supply is sufficient for signalising the power outage for approx. 12 hours. If the emergency power
supply is not used to compensate power outages, the discharge of the emergency power supply is
prevented from being discharged by means of a circuit.
Important: In the event of a power outage, the setting of the time / date is supplied with power by means
of an additional buffering for a period of approx. 10 days. All saved data such as operating hours,
programme settings etc. are preserved. If, however, date and time have not been set, weekly operating
hours of the aggregates are no longer saved. Future error messages are then saved with an incorrect
date.
If the plant is disconnected from the mains (e.g. due to a blackout, when the internal fuse is blown or
when separated from the wall socket), the detection device sends alternately an acoustic and visual
signal regardless of the actual cause. The device reacts to a power outage with a delay of five seconds.
This prevents that short outages that often occur, for instance, during a thunderstorm, but do not impair
the overall function of the wastewater treatment plant, are unnecessarily signalled.
- The five-second delay is followed by an intermittent with a read flashing signal. At intervals of
five seconds, five flashing signals are continually sent with a beep for a period of approx.
12 hours (with a completely charged emergency power supply).
- Switching off the device is not possible in this state.
When the mains voltage returns, the device is reset to the monitoring state without any further keys being
pressed and the control continues to run from the point at which it was interrupted. The fault message
disappears automatically. When the emergency power supply is discharged, the operation of the plant is
restarted with a cycle pause.
 Attention: If the plant has been disconnected from the mains for more than 24 hours, the
purification of the existing wastewater is not possible or only possible to a very restricted
extent. Never switch off the plant (except for maintenance of plant components and
Blackout function-restricting faults of the plant)
KLARO GmbH 21
6. Additional functions of the KLplus and KLbasic controls
6.1. Underload detection (KLplus)

 Attention: The activation of the fill-level-dependent mode must be carried out by a
maintenance technician or an export. Any incorrect calibration of the plant can cause
that the plant is permanently run in the saving mode (cycle pause)! In this case, proper
Malfunction purification is not possible!
As standard, the KLplus control is equipped with a pressure sensor by means of which the fill level in the
first chamber can be determined. This function is used for saving energy with low amounts of inflowing
wastewater. This function is switched off in the delivery state. During commissioning, the plant is run in
the automatic mode regardless of the amount of inflowing wastewater.
22 KLARO GmbH
6.1.1. Functional principle
The water level is measured by means of the

pressure in the feed lift during the feed phase. If
the water level in the sludge storage / buffer
(chamber 1) exceeds a previously set fill-level
height (“Fill-level detection setting“), the plant starts
a purification cycle. If the fill level is not reached,
the plant enters the cycle pause for a period of six
hours. During this cycle pause, the SBR reactor is
only aerated sporadically in order to keep the
bacteria alive. If the previously set water level was
not reached in the first chamber after four
subsequent measurements, the plant pumps, via
the excess sludge lift, water out of the reactor and
back into the first chamber. After the water has
been pumped back, the plant measures the water
level again. With no or little inflowing wastewater,
the reactor is thus also fed after a certain period of Figure 9: Drawing air lifter charging
time. Hence, the normal purification performance

can also be maintained for a longer period of time in times of absence or underload.
The number of the purification cycles performed can be queried via the menu item “operating hours“. In
doing so, the actually performed purification cycles are placed in relation to the cycles carried out in the
automatic mode (four cycles a day) and displayed as a percentage (capacity of 25 % to 100 %).
6.1.2. Commissioning
During any work on the opened cover of the cesspit, there is a tripping and fall
hazard!
The open pit must be secured by means of suitable measures.
Fall hazard
The first chamber (sludge storage / buffer) equipped with the feed lift must be filled with water up to the
height at which a purification cycle is to be activated. This water level depends on the geometry of the
container and the connected PE. In the following table, the recommended buffer heights a above the
minimum water level are stated for the different constellations.

In order to activate this warning message, measure the height between the bottom of the container and
the lower edge of the emergency overflow in the dividing wall or, with full circle plants, at the outlet. With
containers, you can enter the value applicable to your plant from the table above. The designation of
your container can be found on the corresponding delivery note. Confirm this input by pressing the
key.
 When saving the value “000 cm”, the flood warning message is deactivated.
rd
3 step: function control
Now, the fill-level detection can also be carried out in the manual mode. For this, the fill-level detection
must be switched on using the number “1“. The control independently performs a measurement. After
this measurement process has been completed, the measured value is displayed.
6.1.3. Switching off the fill-level detection
In order to switch off the fill-level detection and have the cycles run again in the time-controlled mode, the
nd
2 step described above must be repeated. The water level b must be set to 0 cm. The recirculation can
remain set to two minutes.
KLARO GmbH 25
6.1.4. Safety and fault messages
If the sensor measures a value of less than 40 mbar, the message “Fault: min. fill level“ appears on the
display. In this case, the plant returns to the normal time-controlled mode. This can be attributed to either
too low a water level (≤ 40 cm) in the sludge storage / buffer or a leakage in the pressure or measuring
hose. In this case, we recommend you to contact the manufacturer.
6.2. Optional additional functions with extension cable (KLplus and KLbasic)
By connecting an additional cable to the connection X3 or X4, the range of functions of the control can be
extended.
The following extensions are possible:
• ST5 Connection of a phosphate dosing pump ( X3),
• ST6 Connection of an external alarm unit ( X4), also for KLbasic,
• ST7 Monitoring of a contactor for a three-phase current compressor ( X4),
• ST8 Connection of a UV reactor ( X3).
6.2.1. Connection of an external fault indicator
Via the potential-free output ST6, an external alarm unit such as an indicator lamp mounted to the
outside of the cabinet can be connected.
More detailed information can be found in the MoAnl 10 Externe Warnmelder [InstInstr 10 external
alarm unit].
6.2.2. Connection of a connector for switching the compressor
If the power supply of the installed compressor is higher than 6 amperes, a contactor is additionally
installed in the cabinet by means of which the compressor is driven. Via the input “Contactor monitoring
ST7”, the switching state of the contactor is monitored.
6.2.3. Connection of a UV reactor
Via the connection ST8, a downstream UV reactor can be connected to the control. More detailed
information can be found in the MoAnl 11 UV-Anlagen [InstInstr 11 UV plants].
6.2.4. Phosphate precipitation using the dosing pump
 Attention: When swallowed, iron(III)-chloride is harmful to health and also irritates

the skin. There is a risk of serious injury to the eyes.
There is an explosion hazard in connection with alkali metals, allyl chloride and ethylene
Precipitant oxide.
Read the corresponding safety datasheet before using phosphate precipitants!
When handling iron(III)-chloride, protective clothing must be worn.
Keep precipitant containers away from unauthorised access by others and children.
26 KLARO GmbH
Plants delivered with the phosphate precipitation function are equipped with a hose pump in the cabinet.
A suction hose and a pressure hose are connected to the pump.
The runtime of the hose pump is determined by the time set for the pump in the service menu. The
amount of the added
precipitant thus depends on
the set time. The large pump
Compact is equipped with a
potentiometer for setting the
performance. The table below
provides an overview of the
dosing possibilities. The
respectively required dosage
can be found in the respective
certification (see CD).
In order to commission the
precipitation unit, the container
with the precipitant must be
installed in a frost-proof place
(e.g. machine cabinet, either
on the dividing wall or in the
Figure 10: System drawing precipitation unit
dome-shaped manhole of the
plant). The pressure hose and
the suction hose must also be installed in a frost-proof place. The pressure hose must be inserted into
the SBR reactor and positioned in such a manner in the reactor that the outlet opening is above the
reactor tank and it is ensured that the precipitant falls directly into the wastewater to be treated and does
not wet any components (aggressive chemical, risk of damage to the components!). The outlet opening
must, under no circumstances, be immersed into the water!
 Insert the suction hose into the precipitant container to the extent that the suction from the bottom
is ensured.
 Connect the suction hose and pressure hose to the hose coupling nipples of the pump and fix them
using the union nuts.
Under the menu item “Manual mode”, switch on the phosphate pump and check whether the precipitant
is sucked correctly. If required, interchange the hoses at the connections.

7. Maintenance, servicing and operation

The plant must be switched on at any time. As operator of a small wastewater treatment plant, you
are obliged to ensure the error-free operation of the plant. Almost all operational breakdowns cause a
deterioration of the purification performance of the plant. Therefore, these operational breakdowns must
be detected at an early stage and rectified by you or by a qualified maintenance technician.
During any work on the opened cover of cesspit, there is a tripping and fall
hazard!
The open pit must be secured by suitable measures. Persons involved and/or
third parties may fall into the container! Children are particularly at risk!
Fall hazard Due to the biological degradation processes in small wastewater treatment
plants, the generation of (possibly toxic) gases must be expected. Therefore,
entering the plant must always be secured by a second person. In any case, a
fainted person must not be followed, but help must be sought as soon as
possible.
For activities other than operating the control, the maintenance switch must be
set to 0 and/or the mains plug of the cabinet must be pulled out!
Any maintenance and repair work on the cabinet system must be carried out by a
High voltage maintenance technician or an electrician!
28 KLARO GmbH
7.1. Tasks of the operator

In order to ensure an error-free operation, the following checks must be performed:
7.1.1. Daily check
- It must be checked whether the plant is run properly. This is the case if the operating indicator lamp
lights up green and no warning signal can be heard. A fault is displayed as described in chapter
“control of the plant”. In the event of an incident, we ask you to read the liquid crystal display and to
inform the service personnel about the displayed fault or, if possible, to rectify the fault yourself.
7.1.2. Weekly checks
- Checking the water levels; sludge must not enter the SBR chamber in an uncontrolled manner,
- Checking the inlets and outlets for clogging (visual check),
- Reading the operating hours counters of the aerator (total operating hours), the ventilation (valve 2)
and the sludge return (valve 4), if required, also the operating hours counter of further aggregates
and recording them in the operation log,
- Function control of the lifts and the ventilation via the setting “Manual mode”.
7.1.3. Monthly checks
- Visual check for any sludge overflow, blurring or discolouration in the outlet,
- Checking the inlets and outlets for clogging (visual check),
- Reading the operating hours counters of the aerator (total operating hours), the ventilation (valve 2)
and the sludge return (valve 4), if required, also the operating hours counters of further aggregates
and recording them in the operation log,
- Checking the air filter:
The filter of the switch cabinet ventilation (ventilation grilles on the left and right side in the housing
wall with an inside cabinet and/or on the rear with an outdoors cabinet) must be checked and, if
required, cleaned or replaced. For this, the grilles on the outside of the cabinet must be removed.
The snap lock can be unlocked by applying slight pressure and using a screwdriver and the grille can
be removed by hand. The filter mat lies, without any further fastening means, in the ventilation pit
and can be shaken out and/or blown out. The interval at which the filter of the aerator must be
cleaned or replaced depends on the extent of contamination caused by the atmospheric conditions
around the application. In order to check or replace the filter on the compressor, the service
documentation of the compressor manufacturer provided in the annex must be complied with.
- Checking the phosphate precipitation unit (if any): function control of the precipitant pump and
checking the fill level of the precipitant container,
- Checking the function of the power outage alarm unit.
7.1.4. Sludge drainage
In a small wastewater treatment plant, there are different types of sludge. Only the faecal sludge that
accumulates in the first chamber is removed. It consists of sedimented residues resulting from the
wastewater treatment. In small wastewater treatment plants, the faecal sludge and/or sewage sludge
consists of dead micro-organisms of the biological treatment stage and the settled solids resulting from
the pre-cleaning. The height of the accumulated sludge in the sludge storage is measured by skilled
maintenance personnel using a sludge pipette. The plant is designed in such a manner that, with
permanent full-load operation and compliance with the operator and maintenance obligations, the
KLARO GmbH 29
sludge storage room is large enough for at least twelve months. Low-load operation extends this period
of time accordingly. Timely sludge disposal is necessary in order to prevent the solids from entering the
biological stage in the event of increasing sludge production. Sludge regulation and disposal are
important requirements for a good purification performance and long life of the small wastewater
treatment plant.
The sludge disposal regulations are laid down by the local authorities. Either regular or demand-oriented
sludge removal is required:
- Regular sludge removal takes places on specific dates and is set by the local authorities to once
and/or twice a year depending on the type of the plant, size of the chambers and connected
inhabitants.
- Demand-oriented sludge removal is flexible and takes place at shorter or longer time intervals. In
this case, skilled maintenance personnel check the sludge level (sludge level measurement) and
inform the competent disposal company about the date of the required sludge disposal. With a filling
of the sludge storage of 70 % at the latest, the sludge must be disposed of. In individual cases, the
skilled maintenance personnel inform the operator who then arranges himself/herself a date for the
sludge disposal.
If the maintenance and the sludge removal coincide, the sludge may only be removed after the
maintenance has been completed. The sludge removal must be recorded in the operating log. In this
respect, please also read the instructions provided by your specialist company.
For the sludge removal, the following aspects must be observed:
In most cases, only the primary settlement chamber of the small wastewater treatment plant must be
emptied. With an incorrect sludge regulation of the plant, the suction of the lower section of the tertiary
treatment chamber or the suction of the floating sludge from the surface may also be necessary.
 First, the floating sludge is sucked from the surface; then, the suction tube is placed on the
bottom of the pit,
 A residual amount of water of approx. 10 cm should be left on the bottom of the primary
settlement chamber,
 After the drainage has been completed, the primary settlement chamber must be refilled
with fresh water!
Complete drainage of the small wastewater treatment plant only makes sense if an operational
breakdown occurs for which the cause cannot be determined or if repair work must be performed below
the water level inside the container. Whether such complete drainage is necessary is best decided by
the skilled maintenance personnel.
It is essential that you, as operator of a small wastewater treatment plant, ensure that the correct
chamber of the plant is pumped. Excessive pumping of sludge can interfere with the operation of a
small wastewater treatment plant and causes unnecessary costs!
30 KLARO GmbH
7.2. Maintenance and servicing by skilled maintenance personnel

1
The maintenance must be carried out by a specialised company (skilled personnel) . For this, the owner of
the plant must conclude a maintenance contract with a qualified specialist.
Note! During retrofitting work or maintenance work on the electrical components of the plant, the
control cabinet must be disconnected from the power supply by means of a main switch or
maintenance switch of the plant. It must be ensured that the switch is protected against being
switched on by means of a lock.
The following work must be performed as part of the maintenance:
- Inspection of the operating instructions including assessing that the plant works properly
(target/actual performance comparison),
- Checking the air filter of the aerator and the supply and exhaust air openings of the
control cabinet,
- Maintenance of the aerator according to manufacturer’s instructions (see annexes!).
- Function control of the operation-critical mechanical, electro-technical and other components
of the plant such as the aerator, lift, control unit, valves, alarm unit and the battery of the power
outage detection device,
- Checking the sludge height in the sludge storage; if required, the sludge removal must be
provided for by the operator (for instructions, see section 0),
- Performing general cleaning work, e.g. removal of deposits,
- Checking the state of repair of the plant,
- Checking sufficient ventilation and exhaustion,
- Examinations in the aeration tank:
• Even ventilation picture (bubble picture),
• Oxygen concentration (O2/l > 2 mg); if required, adjustment of the operating times of the
compressor,
• Sludge volume fraction (< 400 ml/l).
 If the sludge volume is below 100 ml/l or above 400 ml/l, the duration of the sludge
extraction must be changed in consultation with KLARO GmbH.
- Samples from the outlet and analysis of the following values:
For each maintenance:
- Temperature of the wastewater,
- Settleable solids,
- pH value,
- Odour,
- Colour,
- Visibility depth,
- COD value,
- NH4-N (when required),
- Ninorg (when required),
P (when required).
1
Specialised companies are operator-independent companies whose employees (skilled personnel)
have, due to their professional training and participation in relevant qualification measures, the
qualification required for the operation and maintenance of small wastewater treatment plants.
KLARO GmbH 31
Any performed maintenance work as well as any detected damage or repair work carried out and further
action must be summarised in a maintenance report by the maintenance company. The corresponding form
can be found in the annex. The findings of the examinations must also be recorded in the maintenance
report. The maintenance report must be handed over to the operator of the plant so that this report can be
submitted to the competent authority after having been requested to do so. The maintenance report must be
attached to the operating instructions. Please keep the operation log easily accessible.
 Note: Breakdowns of the plant due to inadequate maintenance (e.g. of the compressor) exclude free
replacement within the scope of warranty.
7.3. Operating instructions

As a matter of principle, only substances that, due to their nature, correspond to domestic untreated
wastewater may be supplied to the plant for treatment.
Biocides, toxic or biologically incompatible or non-degradable substances must not enter the plant, since
they cause biological process problems. In particular, the following substances must not be discharged:
- Rainwater from roof surfaces and courtyard areas,
- Infiltration water (e.g. drainage water),
- Residues arising from animal farming in solid and liquid form,
- Commercial or agricultural untreated wastewater provided that it cannot be compared with
domestic untreated wastewater,
- Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mineral oils, solvents,
- Cooling water,
- Coarse substances in the form of leftovers, plastics and sanitary products, coffee filter bags,
bottle lids and other household items,
- Milk and dairy products,
- Discharge water from swimming pools,
- Larger quantities of blood.
If larger quantities of fats or vegetable oils accumulate, it is recommended to pre-clean the fat-containing
wastewater in a fat separator that is installed upstream to the wastewater treatment plant (Caution:
Faeces must not be discharged into the fat separator!).
In the table below, individual substances that must not be disposed of using the wastewater treatment
plant are listed once more in more detail:

8. Fault messages and troubleshooting

Technical faults during the plant operation (breakdown of an aggregate) are displayed both visually and
acoustically. The acoustic fault signal of the control can be switched off by pressing . The visual error
display is only acknowledged after pressing the key once again.

In the event of a power supply outage, an integrated battery-supplied power outage warning device
sends alternately an acoustic warning signal and a visual message. In this case, no acknowledgement is

12. Additional tests of the plants
12.1. Tested purification performance with underload

Small wastewater treatment plants and underload operation – this combination has long
been considered as extremely difficult to do. Nevertheless, we have set ourselves the goal
to put our own SBR small wastewater treatment plant to the test and have it tested for
underload. With success, as has been demonstrated in the test report.

13.2. Becker and Rietschle rotary slide compressors
Note:
The Becker rotary slide compressors used by us are equipped with a pressure control valve that is factory
pre-set to a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar.
With our plants, an operating pressure of < 0.3 bar is common. If a pressure of > 0.5 bar (e.g. due to a bent
air hose) occurs at the plant, a part of the air is blown off via the pressure control valve. Thus, the
compressor is protected against damage or excessive wear and tear.
