The capacity of the ECOROCK units can be decreased or increased if the required effluent
quality is of a higher or lower standard than the results, achieved during the EN-12566-3
Performance test.
4.1.1 Before the installation of the complete system
Always keep the system accessible
Check the tanks and the associated equipment (internal reinforcements, connections, seals, etc.)
before installation, see technical details for each tank
A minimum distance of about 3 m
1
from the house and 3 m
1
from trees which have extensive
roots should be ensured
A minimum distance of 2.5 m
1
from any building should be ensured, otherwise the stability of
the building should be checked
The installation should be located away from any traffic areas and parking (at least 2 m
1
)
The installation of the BIOROCK® system is possible in high ground water conditions if special
Precautions are taken
Consult a professional engineer if the units are to be installed with extension sets
System lids should not be buried and should always remain accessible for maintenance
The minimum distance between the primary tank and the treatment unit is 300 mm
The distance between the side of the excavation and the tanks must be minimum of 300 mm
Connections for the BIOROCK® system are made with flexible seals with a diameter of 110 mm
Local rules and legislation should be respected
4.1.2 Installation of the Primary Tank
The Primary Tank must be installed as close as possible (less than 10 m
1
) to the wastewater
discharge point of the property; this avoids fats clogging in the inlet pipe. With a longer pipe run
from the property to the primary tank the installation of a grease trap may be necessary
This 110 mm diameter pipe (100 mm minimum, 160 mm maximum) should have a minimum
gradient of 2 % and a maximum of 4%
