Economic design of the drainage field after a digester tank
dpmiller replied to saveasteading's topic in Barn Conversions
Are you sure about this for your chosen unit? Our Solido runs as an SBR plant and only discharges twice per 24hrs, immediately after a settling period. It pumps (well, airlifts) down to a fixed level each time so up to a few hundred litres in 20mins. -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9w2wyw9x09o "The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been investigating the heating oil market in Northern Ireland and other parts of the UK. It found that the huge spike in prices at the start of the Iran conflict largely reflected rising wholesale costs and that the market is generally competitive. However, it concluded that oil consumers were not as well protected as those connected to the gas and electricity grids. The CMA has not recommended the sort of price controls applied to the gas and electricity markets. Instead it has suggested a "new, proportionate regulatory regime" which largely involves giving consumers clearer information." Anything that promotes national independence and offers some kind of stability here in the hinterlands would be a Good Thing.

Air hooks for Radon membrane
dpmiller replied to flanagaj's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
