IWOX Premium
Viltra’s IWOX Premium is a 3-stage sewage treatment plant in a two-tank configuration that uses a biological process to effectively treat sewage. Designed specifically for domestic applications, it is a highly efficient, reliable and cost-effective way to dispose of domestic sewage where there is no access to a main sewer.
The IWOX Premium sewage treatment plant is tested and certified to exceed the current Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) standard of 97.5% BOD removal efficiency in Northern Ireland and meets all regulatory requirements in Scotland, England, and Wales, including SEPA, EA, and NRW, with removal efficiencies up to 99.2%.

How it works
The IWOX Premium sewage treatment plant is based on the activated sludge principle.
Primary Settlement Tank (PST)
The wastewater influent flows straight into the settlement tank. Larger and heavier pieces of waste in the flow will sink to the bottom of the compartment. At least once every year, the presence of these materials has to be checked (sludge judge test). If the water flow from the pre-settlement tank to the oxidation compartment is blocked, these materials have to be removed from the tank.
Biozone (BZ)
In the oxidation compartment, the purification of waste particles in the wastewater is carried out by bacteria in the activated sludge. Here, Chemical Oxidation Demand pollutants (COD) and Biological Oxidation Demand pollutants (BOD) are removed, and ammonia (NH4) is transformed into nitrate (NO3). The oxidation compartment also features a tube diffuser which provides the water with continuous airflow. The desired oxygen concentration (minimum of 1.5 mg O2/l) can be created with the adjustment of a valve.
Final Settlement Tank (FST)
Water and suspended solids are separated here. In the clarifier compartment, the activated sludge that has formed and settled on the bottom is returned to the aerobic compartment, thus achieving the removal of a more efficient pollutant. The circulation is performed by an airlift pump, which increases the system power efficiency. Once the pollution removal is achieved, the treated water (effluent) is discharged via the outlet pipe.

Environment Agency Standard
Northern Ireland
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) currently require one of two minimum standards of 97.5% and 95% BOD removal efficiency depending on receiving watercourse and catchment size. Viltra's IWOX Premium sewage treatment plant is tested and certified to exceed the current DAERA requirements of 97.5% with removal efficiencies up to 99.2%.
