In general, a sewage system is comprised of a network of pipes that carry sewage and grey water from a home or business to the mains sewer.
Typically, this network of pipes relies on gravity for the waste to flow into the mains sewer. It may also be directed into a septic tank, sewage treatment plant or above ground waste capture tank, such as our Flat Tank. In the home and work environments, most of us are accustomed to flushing the toilet and the waste "magically" disappears. It's not quite that simple, of course, it's a sign that the underground infrastructure is already in place to deal with it: from house, to mains sewer to sewage treatment works or septic tank.
However, for every "standard" situation where the waste is directed straight into the mains sewer, there are many applications where a mains sewer is not available and you will need to find an alternative solution. On a glamping site, for example, where the glamping pod is situated a long way from a mains sewer, the sewage needs to be transported to the main sewer or collection tank in a different way.
And that is where sewage and waste pumping stations come in.
A waste pumping station is made up of a two main components: (1) a large plastic tank (known as an accumulation tank or chamber) into which (2) a submersible pump (or pumps) is fitted.
Available in a range of volumes and sizes, the plastic tank acts as the receiver for sewage and/or grey water* from a glamping pod, several glamping pods, a building or even a group of buildings.
The waste pumping station is "sized" according to the projected waste volume your glamping pod or application will create within a certain timescale (usually a 24 hour period), and the distance and height the waste is to be pumped. For the pumping aspect to work, you will need mains electricity and, depending on your application, waste pumping stations are available in single or three phase electrical supply versions.
Waste from the individual sources (toilet, shower, sink etc.) flows under gravity into the accumulation tank where it will "sit" until it [the waste] reaches a predetermined level. The inbuilt pump incorporates a float switch, the latter rising on the waste as the chamber fills. Once the float switch reaches a certain level, the pump will kick in to "churn" and pressurise the sewage so that it will be pumped out of the chamber. Waste "leaves" the waste pumping station through appropriate hose or pipework, uphill and/or over distance to a point where it enters the mains sewer or is directed into a separate waste holding tank such as our flat tank.
The waste pumping station (depending on the model) has one or several 4" waste inlets (the same size as standard waste pipe from a domestic toilet) into which you direct the waste from your toilet(s). The outlet for the "churned" and pumped waste is via a 32-50mm fitting to which suitable pipe / hose is connected so that the waste is pumped away over distance. Finally, for the pumping station to work properly whilst this liquid is flowing in and being pumped out, a breather valve is also included.
Depending on your application, we may advise a macerating pump or a vortex pump.
*Please note: when collecting the waste from kitchen sinks where fats and cooking oils may be "introduced" into the waste water, we strongly recommend the installation of a grease trap underneath the sink / between sink and waste pumping station. Whereas fats and greases will readily flow into the tank in their warm or hot liquid states, once these liquids cool when they come into contact with the toilet waste inside the tank they will congeal as fat "bergs." This is certainly to be avoided as the operation of the pump(s) will be adversely affected.
Waste pumped from a waste pumping station can be directed into several "receivers"

In 2020, it seems that back to basics - type off-grid glamping is very popular. So what options are there to deal with effluent waste?
