The GRAF One2Clean 18 Person Sewage Treatment Plant is supplied as two linked 6,500 litre Carat tanks. Splitting the volume across two standard tanks keeps the dig shallower than one large tank, which helps on sites with rock or a high water table.
It suits small developments, groups of holiday lets and busy farm sites. The two tanks sit side by side, so plan for an excavation of around 5.3 metres by 2.2 metres.
How the One2Clean Plant Works
The One2Clean 18 Person Sewage Treatment Plant treats wastewater in one tank using a simple three-stage cycle. First, sewage flows straight into the biological zone, with no pumping, and air flows through the whole tank so that bacteria start breaking down the waste.
Next, the control unit stops the air and the activated sludge settles to the bottom, leaving a layer of clear water on top. Finally, a one-piece clear water lifter draws off the treated water and the cycle starts again.
There are no pumps, moving parts or electrical parts inside the tank. Instead, the compressor and control unit sit above ground, where they are easy to reach for servicing. As a result, there is very little in the wastewater that can wear out or fail.

Where Can the Treated Water Go?
Treated water from the plant can usually discharge to a drainage field or, in many cases, to a ditch or stream. In England, the General Binding Rules set out when you can do this without a permit, so check the rules for your site or speak to the Environment Agency before you order. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the local environment regulator sets the rules.

Commissioning and Delivery
A GRAF-accredited engineer commissions the plant free of charge once it is installed, which also starts the warranty. We deliver the One2Clean 18 Person Sewage Treatment Plant free to UK mainland addresses. However, the plant arrives on a lorry, so you will need to be able to offload it on arrival. You can also download the drawing, data sheet and installation manual from this page.
