Sewage Treatment For Shopping Centres

Shopping centres incorporate a variety of different retail units under one roof – from restaurants and cafes, to department stores and boutiques. Having so many businesses located in a similar area can be difficult to manage, as each of them produce different kinds of waste water. When combined with the highly variable flow rate of wastewater between peak and off-peak periods, this can cause complications for unsuited sewage treatment systems and overwhelm drainage systems, leading to non-compliance issues.

In the UK, local authorities issue licences to shopping centres, which instruct them on the safe and legal discharge limits in the area. This means there is no excuse for non-compliance, so to safeguard from the consequences of not obeying regulations, shopping centres need robust, reliable drainage and sewage treatment systems to process wastewater efficiently and dispose of it safely.

With our efficient commercial sewage treatment and drainage systems, Proseptic can help keep the risk of non-compliance to a minimum. We provide installation and replacement services for sewage treatment plants, drainage, and septic systems, as well as ensuring the regular maintenance of existing systems.

Sewage Treatment For Retail Parks

Typically hosting a range of larger chain stores, and located away from the well-connected mains drainage of city or town centres, retail parks and other dedicated shopping areas serve large numbers of people each day. The large amounts of foot traffic bring numerous challenges for drainage and wastewater disposal systems. Finding and installing effective sewage solutions whilst maintaining normal everyday operations is equally as tough.

Not only can Proseptic install a solution tailored to the requirements of an individual retail park, finding a dependable sewage treatment option with a suitable capacity, but we can also provide our services with minimal disruption to ongoing business operations. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we can conduct CCTV drainage surveys to check the integrity of existing pipeworks and drainage systems, so we know exactly where repairs and replacements are needed, saving you both time and money.

Sewage Treatment Problems

Thousands of consumers rely on shopping centres and retail parks, so it is vital that they have a sewage treatment solution that can keep up with the demand of their customers. As well as typical drainage issues experienced by other commercial sectors, such as cracked or blocked pipes and overflow problems, they have numerous additional concerns that come with dealing with effluent on larger scales. Each store will produce wastewater containing different levels of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), cleaning products, and other chemicals that need to be properly disposed of, or they can interfere with the biological and chemical systems responsible for sewage treatment. The consequences of improper wastewater disposal could cause health risks, damage to property, and prosecution.

Shopping centres also have the presence of Fats, Oils and Greases (FOGs) to worry about. Due to the increased number of restaurants, bars, cafes and food stands, the risk that FOGs will accumulate in drains and sewage treatment plants as a result of food waste is ever-present, which can lead to further damage and disruption. Whilst precautions can be taken against these issues, like installing grease traps and ensuring regular maintenance of drains, the best way to protect businesses and customers is to call our team to investigate. Even if a problem might seem small at first, it can quickly grow into a significant complication.
