The UPL uses a similar operating principle as the Marsh:Ensign.
In addition to anaerobic digestion taking place in the primary settlement chamber [2] the UPL unit allows the clarified water to pass into a second ‘aeration’ chamber [3] where it is treated to remove the dissolved constituents. Here aerobic bacteria, supported by diffused air and mobile media, ensures full treatment is achieved before the treated effluent and ‘sloughed off’ bacteria flows to a final settlement chamber [8]. The final effluent is then discharged to the drainage field or watercourse via a Polylok filter.
