RETROFITTING EXISTING SEPTIC TANKS & TREATMENT PLANTSRetrofitting an existing septic tank or chemical treatment plant can work out as a cost effective way to treat sewerage, garbage and grey water in an energy efficient way. For example if you look at the service and energy costs for Biolytix, Taylex, BioCycle, Septech, Aqua Nova and chlorinated treatment plants and septic tanks it would be very easy to justify a retro-fit to a Worm Farm Waste System. The retrofit requires a septic tank chamber that is in good structural condition. We would remove the baffles and convert to a Worm Farm Waste System. The vent pipe can either be freestanding coming from the bottom of the chamber or attached to the building if appropriate. Your actual processing of liquid will increase dramatically. As the Worm Farm Waste System is not mechanical, you cannot overload it and additional energy consumption is not required for processing. Let the worms do it naturally. Unlike chemical treatment plants and septic tanks, Worm Farm Waste systems have the added bonus of processing of organic garbage. Only plastics, bottles and cans, all recyclable, will be taken off site.
