Packaged Drainage Field
While great advances have been made in
wastewater technology, land drainage remains
reliant on traditional techniques.
Now Titan can offer the Ezy-Drain system,
a revolutionary new product that redefines
the method of dispersing water into soil.
Utilising recycled synthetics packed around sectional
tubes, the Ezy-Drain design offers a packaged solution to
avoid the drawbacks of using loose quarried aggregates.
The resultant benefits are an extremely lightweight
system that can be rapidly installed without the need
for specialist skills.
Applications
Treatment Plants and Septic Tanks: Ezy-Drain replaces
the perforated pipework of a 'herring-bone' drainage field. Ezy-Drain's
storage and flow charecteristics typically achieve 35%
more surface area than natural aggregates, resulting in
enhanced water treatment capabilities and a reduction in
long term clogging.
Effluent Drainage: Ezy-Drain may replace traditional 'carrier'
drainage from a treatment plant to discharge point.
Seasonal Soakaways: Ezy-Drain is ideal to install
as a
'seasonal soakaway' flowing from a treatment plant. A seasonal
soakaway allows infiltration of treated effluent where
ground conditions permit or transfers effluent to an alternative
discharge point when ground conditions are unfavourable.

The table indicates typical meterage for domestic septic tank
applications, assuming a trench width of 450mm. Approximately 20%
less drainage is required for Sewage Treatment Plants as treated
effluent is of a higher standard. For other applications and further
information, please consult Titan.
