Low-Maintenance Wastewater Treatment System Serves Immigration Center
Problem
On the island nation of Cyprus, the Water Development Department needed a wastewater treatment system for an immigration processing center that was in the planning stages. For security reasons, the system would be installed below grade. In addition, both the cost and the footprint of the system had to be minimized.
Solution
The department chose an AdvanTex® Wastewater Treatment System because of its low cost of operation and maintenance (O&M). Six AdvanTex AX100s were installed below grade, inside a concrete structure. In addition, a mechanical screening device was installed upstream of the septic tank in order to reduce the overall tankage requirements and project footprint.
