For efficient management of water resources and wastewater in a single-family home, it’s essential to provide appropriate individual sanitation and rainwater harvesting solutions. Here’s an overview of the main options available to meet these needs.
Individual sanitation solutions
All-water tank
The all-water tank is a traditional and widespread solution for individual sanitation. It treats both black water (from toilets) and grey water (from kitchens, bathrooms, etc.). Its operation is based on a decantation process that retains solids and enables wastewater to be pre-purified. An all-water septic tank is not sufficient on its own, and will need to be followed by a landfill or compact filter.
Grease separator
The grease separator is a complementary device to the all-water tank, particularly useful in households where grease production is high or where the sewage system is far from the house. It retains grease and oils, preventing them from accumulating and clogging the pipes.
Micro purification station
The micro wastewater treatment plant is a compact, efficient solution for wastewater treatment. SIMOP offers its BIOXYMOP solution, an innovative individual wastewater treatment system using aerobic biological treatment technology for optimized degradation of organic matter. This compact, environmentally-friendly device offers superior treatment quality, with easy installation and low maintenance.
Compact filter
SIMOP’s Bionut solution is an innovative individual wastewater treatment system using recycled hazelnut shells as a natural filter medium. Designed for domestic wastewater, this compact, self-contained solution requires no electricity and can operate intermittently (even for second homes!). Ecological and economical, Bionut offers efficient, environmentally-friendly filtration with low landscape impact. At the end of its life, the filter media can be composted, reducing treatment costs.
Rainwater Storage and Recovery Solutions
Rainwater harvesting tanks store water collected from roofs for domestic use (watering, washing cars, flushing toilets, etc.). They can be installed on the ground or buried, depending on requirements and site constraints. SIMOP offers a wide range of rainwater harvesting tanks in all sizes. For optimum ease of use, SIMOP offers filtration kits, pumps and rainwater managers.
When it comes to sanitation and rainwater harvesting, it’s possible to combine efficiency with respect for the environment. Find out below which equipment to install in a house or individual dwelling:
