Bye bye septic tank
The HYDRO-KINETIC system
(Advanced secondary and tertiary treatment)
Unlike traditional systems, HYDRO-KINETIC does not require a conventional septic tank upstream, as treatment is integrated.
Operation: Uses an aerated biological process (fixed culture) to treat wastewater.
Advantages:
- Compactness: Ideal for small plots of land or areas near lakes, as it reduces the size of the polishing field by up to 60%.
- Durability: No filter media (such as sand or peat) to replace periodically.
- Versatility: Can be configured for tertiary treatment (with UV disinfection for discharge into ditches or dephosphatization for lake protection).
