The PED system - domestic and light commercial wastewater dispersal
The PED (Precision Effluent Dispersal) system is a low-pressure, high efficiency irrigation system that uses buried drip tubes to disperse treated effluent and wastewater. Sub-surface drip irrigation technologies have been a part of irrigated agriculture since the 1960s; with the technology advancing rapidly in the last three decades. Using the latest technologies, the PED system is a highly efficient and flexible wastewater dispersal system that can provide frequent light irrigations.
The PED system is suitable for multiple applications including single houses, housing estates, and small business parks, where wastewater can be dispersed and reused safely, efficiently, sustainably and according to environmental regulations.
The PED system is fully licenced by the EPA in Ireland. We have installed the largest system of its kind in Europe.
How does the PED system work?
Why choose the PED system for your project?
- A high degree of control over water application
- Reduced evaporation
- Frequent irrigation allows for optimum soil moisture content in the root zone
- Impressive performance in windy and arid locations
- If pre-treated wastewater is used for irrigation, the risk of direct contact with crops and labourers is reduced
