Benefits of HiPAF Retrofits

Up to 65% energy savings

A key feature of this retrofit is the HiPAF energy-saving timer(s), which can reduce energy consumption by up to 65%, allowing businesses to significantly lower their electricity costs.

High performance media

The enhanced 310 m²/m³ Neutral Buoyancy Filter Media is fully compatible with the HiPAF sewage treatment range. This enhanced media maximises the surface area for bacterial growth within the filter bed, while ensuring optimal water flow. Designed for the lifespan of the plant, it is made from 100% recycled Polypropylene (PP) and manufactured in the UK, helping to reduce your environmental footprint.

Expanding site capacity

We can expand capacity through our modular design and off-site build solutions, specifically tailored for challenging access locations and limited space.

Our space-saving solutions also enable the repurposing of existing onsite vessels, optimising them to incorporate our HiPAF wastewater treatment system. HiPAF is renowned for its ability to handle seasonal fluctuation of flows and loads, offering exceptional longevity and low maintenance whole-life costs.

Effluent quality

The HiPAF range typically achieves the following treatment levels: BOD of 10 mg/l, SS of 10 mg/l, and Ammonia Nitrogen (NH₄-N) of 2 mg/l (with tertiary treatment). However, significantly higher removal of NH₄-N and BOD₅ is achievable. Phosphate removal can also be incorporated with additional process technology, including chemical dosing.

For animal waste, the HiPAF system, when combined with a sand filter and RADS, provides an ideal solution for animal centres.

Understanding HiPAF Systems

The HiPAF packaged sewage treatment plant is the ideal solution for rural and remote areas where mains drainage is unavailable. It ensures full compliance with EA standards, even at Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Its scalable design—from compact units to fully modular installations—can accommodate a wide range of population sizes, from individual homes to large multi-complex theme parks. The HiPAF is renowned for its durable, flexible modular construction, robust performance, and cost efficiency throughout its entire lifespan.
