DRAINAGE & PLUMBING
WELFARE FACILITIES AT FORMER WOOLIES HQ GET A LITTLE HELP FROM SANIFLO
The former headquarters of British iconic retailer Woolworths located at 242 Marylebone Road in London , is a striking building constructed of red bricks with a facade of Portland Stone to the front elevation . It is currently being transformed into homes , offices and retail premises , including an events auditorium , rooftop bar , coffee shop , cyclist zone and health and wellbeing amenities . While the restoration is underway , the contractor has installed site welfare facilities , including several WC blocks , for the construction workforce .
Initially , the WCs relied on gravity drainage to discharge the waste to a soil and vent pipe some 40m away . However , blockages occurred and there were concerns that the situation would worsen as the full complement of workers arrived on site . An enquiry for a solution was lodged with the Saniflo technical team who swiftly visited the site to scope out the requirement and recommended a Zehnder Kompaktboy Duplex lifting station . The unit was able to installed below the WC blocks , in the basement , allowing for optimum gravity fall and pumping the waste back to the main sewer . The powerful , 3-phase pump , which can be integrated into the building management system if required , has two vortex pumps as a fail-safe precaution . This feature provides continuity of operation , which is critical to the building works .

PREMIER TECH ENHANCE THEIR RANGE OF REWATEC SUBMERGED AERATED FILTER ( SAF ) SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
Premier Tech Water and Environment has enhanced their range of Rewatec SAF sewage treatment plants to combine energy efficiency with an exceptionally high wastewater treatment performance .
As part of the redesign , the Rewatec SAF now features an internal baffle in the primary chamber to assist with the removal of solids and organics , and to prevent potential blockages downstream . A new pipe arrangement to optimise the level of oxygen induced into the biozone chamber , also improves the operational efficiency of wastewater treatment . Other unique attributes such a simpler manifold design and a new manifold extension kit increase the overall reliability of the plant , whilst also making it easier to install , commission , service and maintain .
All Rewatec SAF plants are supplied with a robust kiosk to house the electronic and mechanical componentry required to operate the system . Innovative features such as temperature and pressure alarms and air filter monitoring are included as standard , with options such as acoustic lining and GSM and / or BMS communication for remote plant monitoring , available upon request .
A variable speed three phase blower to increase efficiency , reduce energy usage , reduce costs and lower the overall carbon footprint , can be installed within the kiosk on all plants above 100 PE . An optional probe can also be supplied to regulate the air supply in the biozone chamber , again maximising energy efficiency whilst reducing cost for the end user .
Designed , manufactured and tested in accordance with EN12566-3 for plants below 50PE , EN12255 for plants above 50PE and the British Water Code of Practice for Flows and Loads , the Rewatec SAF is capable of meeting strict effluent standards that exceed UK environmental discharge requirements , for a range of on-site applications that don ’ t have access to the main sewage network .
