What Happens During a Sewage Treatment Plant Service?
A service should be more than lifting the lid. Understand the kinds of checks a competent engineer may carry out on a package treatment plant.
The exact service procedure depends on the plant make and model, but a competent visit should be based on the manufacturer’s maintenance requirements rather than a generic glance inside the tank.
Visual condition
The engineer may inspect accessible covers, chambers, pipework and visible components for damage, deterioration or signs of unusual water level.
Mechanical components
Where fitted, blowers, pumps, moving assemblies and air systems may be checked for operation, wear and obvious faults.
Electrical and alarms
Controls and alarm functions may be checked where the service procedure requires it. Electrical work should only be undertaken by someone competent to do so.
Treatment performance
The engineer may look for signs that the biological process and flow through the plant are behaving normally. Larger or regulated sites can require more formal sampling or reporting.
Service record and recommendations
A useful service ends with a record of what was checked, any parts replaced, faults found and work recommended. Keep this with the plant manual and previous maintenance history.
