The solution enables the treatment of domestic wastewater in locations without connection to a sewer network, adapting to the specific conditions of the site.


To ensure efficient treatment of domestic wastewater from a dwelling located within a Protected Natural Area (PEIN), Envirotecnics supplied and installed a compact total oxidation wastewater treatment plant equipped with submerged fixed-bed technology.


The specific characteristics of the location required a solution capable of achieving a high level of wastewater treatment and ensuring excellent treated water quality before discharge into the natural environment.


For this reason, a fixed-bed biological treatment technology was selected. It provides high operational stability and strong performance in the removal of organic matter, even under variations in flow rate and pollutant load. This system promotes the growth of biomass attached to the support media and helps maintain a stable biological treatment process despite fluctuations in influent load and flow.

Submerged fixed-bed wastewater treatment is particularly suitable for isolated dwellings, second homes, rural accommodation and certain tourist facilities with variable occupancy.

The installation has a treatment capacity of up to 8 population equivalents (PE), a parameter used to size wastewater treatment systems according to the expected pollutant load. The system was sized to meet the property’s requirements and ensure compliance with the environmental requirements associated with a particularly sensitive setting.


One of the key advantages of the project was the speed of installation. Thanks to the compact, prefabricated design of the unit, no complex civil works were required, allowing supply and installation to be completed in a single working day.

This approach significantly reduced the impact on the site and minimised disruption during the works, an especially important advantage in protected natural areas.

The compact wastewater treatment plant installed provides high-efficiency biological treatment and offers a suitable solution for domestic wastewater treatment in isolated dwellings and other locations where effluent quality and protection of the receiving environment are key priorities.

What wastewater treatment system does an isolated dwelling need?

The most suitable technology depends on the expected flow rate and pollutant load, occupancy levels, site conditions and treated water quality requirements.

At Envirotecnics, we assess each project individually in order to define the most appropriate wastewater treatment solution.

We can adapt and upgrade existing treatment installations or design and install new systems, as well as provide the periodic maintenance required to ensure reliable operation throughout the service life of the installation.

Do you have a project located in a sensitive area, without connection to the sewer network, or subject to stringent discharge requirements?

At Envirotecnics, we assess the site conditions, the characteristics of the water to be treated and the receiving environment in order to define the most suitable wastewater treatment system and ensure compliance with both legal requirements and the specific needs of your project.
