1012687 Issue 01 – BioAir 2, 3 & 5 Installation and Maintenance Manual DESCRIPTION AND PROCESS BioAir systems are designed to accept crude domestic sewage and produce an effluent of suitable quality for discharge to a watercourse or soak-away system, subject to the approval of the appropriate regulatory authority.
1012687 Issue 01 – BioAir 2, 3 & 5 Installation and Maintenance Manual INSTALLATION Our domestic treatment plants are structurally tested in accordance with EN 12566-3, which specifies structural stability testing for both wet and dry sites using granular backfill 3-8mm. However, in GB & IRE it would be typical for tanks to be installed in concrete due to rising water table, and it can generally be assumed that buoyancy prevention of concrete backfill is more advantageous than the granular backfill materials used in testing.
