 Types of treatment plants

Home wastewater
treatment plants

ACO Clara home treatment plants are suitable

for wastewater disposal from minor sources,
such as family houses, small companies, guest
houses, etc. They ensure the treatment of
wastewater from toilets, bathrooms, kitchens,
washing machines, and similar facilities. During
the development of our wastewater treatment
plants, great emphasis was placed especially on
safe operation, easy and cheap installation, and
easy maintenance. Thanks to this, ACO Clara
wastewater treatment plants rank among the
best as regards system reliability and treatment
efficiency

Communal wastewater
treatment plants

ACO Clara communal treatment plants are

designed for all larger sources of wastewater
that cannot be connected to public sewerage
system. This concerns especially hotels, holiday
resorts, medium-size and large companies,
residential areas, gas stations, whole villages, etc.

ACO Clara treatment plants can satisfy

everybody: demanding, environmentally minded
customers, building companies that demand
easy and fast installation, or users themselves,
who can enjoy trouble-free operation. 7
