what is drip DISPERSAL (distribution)?
An introductory video explaining what is wastewater drip distribution, how it works, and the benefits.
Drip Distribution, also known as Drip Dispersal, is an innovative wastewater discharge and treatment method that has been pioneered by Ashtecs in Ireland and UK. Drip Distribution is known by a variety of names such as drip irrigation, drip dispersal, drip infiltration or drip feed systems.
Drip Dispersal works as an irrigation method where the wastewater is filtered by the soil, allowing the naturally occurring organisms to purify the water and safely returning it to the environment.
Key Benefits
Most efficient distribution method – US Environmental Protection Agency
No need for discharge licences
Economical, often much cheaper than alternative methods
Can be used in difficult sites, as shown in this project on a housing estate, Co. Monaghan 2015
Minimal site impact during installation
Requires smaller area than other dispersal systems
Environmentally friendly
No surface contamination, no run-off problems, no bad smells
design
Ashtecs are acknowledged as the industry experts on Drip Distribution in Ireland and UK. We designed and supplied the systems used in the EPA funded research by Trinity College Dublin on wastewater disposal systems, prompting the revision of the 2021 EPA Waste Water Code of Practice which is also used as a guide for commercial and industrial applications.
