Easy to Maintain
The Scarab sewage systems requires no shut down to service and repair aeration equipment. There are no moving / serviceable parts in the bioreactors. Due to the highly effective aeration system, the bottom of the tank is constantly 'swept', and from this point, de-sludging is an easy task. Many other systems will choke up, and would need to be replaced - giving a service life of less than 5 years. Provided the system is shielded from the sun, a Scarab system could last 25+ years.

Simply Compliant
Even though the Scarab sewage system requires no post-treatment clarifier, it still achieves compliance. This is achieved by using the unique aeration design to sweep the bottom of the tank, ensuring the the air and the water is thoroughly mixed. Oxygen levels are always at the maximum levels, which keeps the bacteria healthy. In many cases, other systems will choke up and fail, requiring a cleanup / replacement, and downtime. Scarab's Package Plants are self cleaning. You wont need to shut down for any maintenance work or servicing, and will remain compliant.
