Decentralization is the key to sustainable wastewater treatment. There is less risk of major pollution incidents, less pipework to maintain, less impact on the environment and it is cheaper to install and run. With the advent of small, non-electric filter wastewater treatment plants with an almost zero carbon footprint for the treatment proccess, it is obviously the way forward.
