We get a lot of enquiries from customers asking us the same question - "How does the Big Red system work?"

Our system uses a gravity-fed, fully automated biological treatment sequence requiring minimal intervention while delivering consistent, compliant treated effluent.

𝟬𝟭 | 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘁
The domestic sewer line connects directly to the inlet chamber. Black and grey water enter the system via gravity feed, eliminating the need for intake pumping.

𝟬𝟮 | 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗸
A custom-designed multi-chamber septic tank separates and breaks down organic solids, providing effective primary treatment before biological processing.

𝟬𝟯 | 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗶𝗼-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿
Partially treated effluent enters the aerobic bio-reactor where oxygen is introduced to drive biological digestion using advanced AR, MBBR and RAS processes.

𝟬𝟰 | 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲
Treated effluent passes through a disinfection chamber and inline chlorination system, producing irrigation-ready recycled water that meets and exceeds National Water Act general discharge standards.

Simple. No complicated processes or excess chemicals, just clean discharge water!

Big Red SA emerged from years of hands-on wastewater management experience, combining underground septic tank expertise with advanced biological process engineering to offer a plug-and-play wastewater treatment solution.

The result is an all-in-one, off-the-shelf wastewater treatment plant that converts black and grey water into clean, reusable effluent suitable for irrigation and secondary applications across local and international markets.

Our systems are also solar compatible and are quite suited to remote locations off-grid such as lodges and rural infrastructure.

It's no secret that water resources are under pressure, and with predictions of further disruptions from El Nino type weather events it's more important than ever to conserve and re-use water efficiently.

Here are some common uses of our treated water from our Big Red systems:

𝟬𝟭 | 𝗜𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Gardens, agricultural land and landscaped areas can be irrigated using treated effluent.

𝟬𝟮 | 𝗧𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
Treated water can be recirculated into flushing systems, significantly reducing municipal water consumption.

𝟬𝟯 | 𝗗𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
Ideal for construction sites, gravel roads, mining operations and other environments requiring frequent dust control.

𝟬𝟰 | 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲
Treated effluent meeting National Water Act standards can be safely discharged back into the environment.

Big Red SA systems do more than treat wastewater, they transform it into a reusable resource, reducing potable water demand and supporting sustainable environmental practices.
