EFFLUENT TANKS
Pricing From: 50k +
The effluent storage facility is central to any system and is critical for getting the most out of your effluent - for successful management and future proofing the operation. We make sure all options are considered to determine the best solution for the site - see more here.
Tanks have long been an alternative storage solution to ponds. This includes large in-ground concrete tanks to above-ground options such as Tasman Tanks.
​
Similarly to a pond, some of the tank options involve a liner. Otherwise, the tank is constructed using concrete and / or sealed panels.
Advantages
• Avoids water table issues
• Robust solution (e.g. 50 year structural design life depending on make).
• Round in shape which is efficient to stir
• Do not require safety fencing due to height of tank
​
Disadvantages
• Can be costly
• Often require building consent and therefore Geotech implications and cost.
• Access to clean (if required) not so easy compared to a pond
​
​
Things to Consider
• Solid Separation / management
• Does the supplier offer them with a cover - worth assessing via storage calculation
• District council construction consents, associated costs and does the supplier include this?
​
• Pumping from the tank or gravity feeding out of it?
​
• Tank stirring options
