Question

I’m an engineer and I’m working to design a decentralized wastewater treatment system for a single house in Abruzzo Region (Italy). I’m interested in the System but I’m wondering that the biologic wastewater treatment could be affected in a negative way when the household use chemical products in the everyday house activities. Is it true?

Answer

The system has been validated in 11 demonstration sites all around the world. One of these demo-site is located in Abruzzo Region (IT) where the system was applied to your similar case. From field test activities conducted in Italy and test lab activities conducted by the National University of Ireland Galway the researchers demonstrated that the system is not affected by the use of everyday home chemical products.

Question

Does the system require a lot of maintenance?

Answer

The system is able to create a complete autobuffering ecosystem inside the tanks. For the Lumbrifitration modules very little maintenance is required.

Question

Does the system meet the Italian Regulation?

Answer

The system is able to meet the Italian Regulation - D.Lgs 152/06. We have experienced this in one year of field test activities in our Italian demo-site (https://innoqua-project.eu/italy/).
