Hello, my name is Jan Bonn from BONNEL TECHNOLOGIE. We are developing and manufacturing Control Units for decentralized sewage treatment plants and pump stations.

According to our experience, decentralized solutions could be a big benefit for the environment. Anyhow, in a lot of cases I’ve seen in many countries there was a lack of servicing. A decentralized treatment plant will not work without proper servicing and without proper installation. I’ve seen many plants that have been installed for a lot of money which simply don’t do more than a cheap septic tank. What I think we really need are: 

- servicing and control regulated and monitored by the government

- control units which monitor the plant in between, and in best case control units that forward the alarms via GSM or similar, so that the problems get solved

What I’ve also seen are many 24/7 aerated plants with manual air distribution valves. Not one was working properly. I don’t think all plants need a control unit, a simple timer for 5USD and a fail-proof plant design would do as well. Or proper maintenance. Then these plans can work...

I’m looking forward to interesting discussions in the group.

Yours, Jan
