Self-monitoring by the operator
As operator of the wastewater treatment plant you are responsible to the water
authority to ensure a smooth operation of the plant. Operating faults in biological
small wastewater treatment plants in almost all cases reflects on the discharge
quality of the treated water. These therefore must be recognized promptly and
remedied by either him/herself or a qualified maintenance firm.
In order to document the self-monitoring you are obliged to keep an operator’s logbook. The form
provided for this “Operator’s Logbook – Self-Monitoring by the Operator" can be found at the end
of this manual. It is best to keep this near the control equipment. The water authority can demand
an inspection of this operator‘s logbook.
In detail you are required to carry out regularly the following checks:
Daily:
•
Function of the control unit and
•
Inspection or unusual indications.
Monthly:
•
Transfer of the operating times from the display into the operator’s logbook (with the presence
of an electronic logbook and in consultation with the responsible water authority, this can
possibly be dispensed with).
•
Visual check of the submersible aerator for thorough mixing and air bubble input.
•
Visual check of the water level in the primary settling stage. No sludge may pass over
uncontrolled into the aeration chamber.
•
Visual check of the discharging water for sludge driving.
•
Examination of the free discharge in order to avoid a backing-up into the aeration chamber.
If you keep to the following recommendations you can save unnecessary repair costs and
increase the service life of your plant:
•
Infiltration water such as rainwater, groundwater, swimming pool water and aquarium water
may not be introduced.
•
With domestic cleansing please note that no acids or alkaline reactions appear.
•
The ventilation openings as well as inlet and outlet openings must always remain clear. The
cover of the plant must be capable of being opened.
•
Ensure that the plant is maintained regularly by a specialist firm.
•
Only the primary settling stage has to be dislodge regularly (ca. every 12 months) by a
disposal firm! Following consultation with the responsible authority and with conclusion of a
maintenance contract desludging can also take place on an as required basis.
At the completion of desludge the primary settling stage is to be refilled with
water so that the suction opening of the
