My building drains are not connected to mains sewage. Can I use the dosing unit with a remote aerobic or anaerobic (Septic) sewage system?

Generally, Mechline’s bio-fluid is helpful to these systems, and some information is provided below. For more advice, contact Mechline Aerobic Systems : These tend to have three sections, a primary tank, an aerobic zone and a tertiary tank. The primary tank is where larger solids settle out, whereas the aerobic zone is where aerobic bacteria break down any organic solids. Aerobic conditions are maintained by the introduction of forced air or by the rotation of disks within the effluent. The tertiary tank allows for any final settlement before water is discharged. If grease enters this system untreated it will quickly cause major overload to the primary tank, as it tends to float rather than settle out. Left unchecked this grease can then foul the aerobic zone either by coating the filter disks or blocking air gaps in the filter medium. This can result in severe system failure and all that implies. The introduction of Mechline’s bio-fluid into the effluent stream quickly breaks up the complex grease molecules into much smaller molecules and soluble compounds. This greatly reduces the problems described above and the chances of system failure. Ana erob ic (Sept ic) Syst ems : These systems rely upon the action of bacteria that do not require oxygen to break down organic solids, and are less complicated as they do not require the maintenance associated with the aeration of aerobic systems. However, the down-side is that they are slower in action and are not suited to larger sites. The introduction of grease into a septic system would cause many problems, not least the fact that the crust on the top of a tank must be permeable to allow the passage of the gases created by the action of the bacteria. The presence of large quantities of grease would reduce crust mobility and therefore the effectiveness of the tank. As with the aerobic system, the bacteria contained in bio-fluid break down the fats and grease found in commercial waste, thus greatly reducing the chances of grease-related compounds. In addition, the facultatively anaerobic bio-fluid bacteria added to the mix reduce sludge build-up and therefore tank emptying frequency..
