Wastewater treatment · Cottage communities and recreation resorts
Treatment plants for cottage communities and recreation resorts
One biological treatment plant for the whole development instead of a septic tank under every house. BioDisc® rotating systems grow together with the development, run without odour or noise and blend into the landscape — a sanitary zone of just 5 metres.
Who a shared treatment plant suits
Cottage communities
A cluster of houses without central sewerage. One shared plant instead of dozens of septic tanks — managed, odour-free, cheaper to maintain.
Recreation resorts and complexes
Cabins, a restaurant, a spa, a pool amid nature. Treated water is discharged to the ground or a nearby water body — within environmental standards, with no risk to the recreation area.
Builders / developers
Ready-made engineering — a selling point for the plots. The plant is commissioned in phases along with construction, without freezing capital up front.
Green-tourism estates, eco-hotels
A small plot, a demand for a clean environment. A compact plant with no separate buildings that blends into the landscape.
Why a septic tank under every house is a dead end for a community
The traditional approach
- Dozens of separate septic tanks. Each has to be pumped out and serviced, and every owner is on their own.
- No compliant treatment. Septic tanks do not deliver the quality needed for discharge to the environment — a risk of fines and pollution next to the recreation area.
- Noise and odour. Aeration plants for the whole development are unacceptable where people live and rest.
- A 15 m sanitary zone “eats up” plots that could have been sold or built on.
One BioDisc® plant for the development
- One plant (or several units in parallel) biologically treats the wastewater of the whole development to 96–98%.
- A rotor with no blowers — no noise or odour, a 5 m sanitary zone, easy to fit into the landscape.
- Modularity — capacity is scaled up in phases together with the development.
One plant for the whole development — and it grows with you
BioDisc® is a turnkey monoblock biological treatment plant: mechanical settling, two biological treatment stages and a secondary settler in a single body. The capacity of one unit is up to 60 m³ per day. For a larger development, units are connected in parallel, and for phased development they are added in phases — you pay for capacity when you need it.
| Site scale | Configuration | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Small community / resort (up to ~300 residents or guests) | 1 × BioDisc | up to 60 m³/day |
| Medium community / large recreation complex | 2 × BioDisc | up to 120 m³/day |
| Large community (several development phases) | up to 3 × BioDisc | up to 180 m³/day |
| Large development / village above 180 m³ | modular PlanetTEK plant | 150–300 m³/day |
The exact model is selected by the actual number of houses and residents — a ZIKO engineer calculates the system free of charge. More about the technologies: BioDisc® (monoblock) · PlanetTEK (modular).
Four treatment stages in a single body
Primary settler
Heavy solids settle, fats float up; it balances the uneven domestic discharges of the development.
First biological treatment stage
The biofilm on the rotating discs consumes pollutants; half a turn “eats”, half a turn “breathes”.
Second biological treatment stage
Polishing on the second group of discs, a stable 96–98% regardless of occupancy fluctuations.
Secondary settler
Sludge returns to the cycle, and the treated water is discharged to the ground or a water body within standards.
Complies with the European standards EN 12566-3 and EN 12255.
Why a shared plant beats septic tanks
One plant instead of dozens of septic tanks
Managed engineering, not a zone of worries for each owner.
Grows in phases
Capacity is added along with the development, without overpaying up front.
No noise or odour
A rotor instead of blowers; it can be placed next to houses and recreation areas.
5 m sanitary zone
Does not “eat up” plots for sale; blends into the landscape without separate buildings.
Clean discharge to the environment
96–98% treatment for discharge to the ground/a water body next to the recreation area.
Minimal maintenance
Energy use ≈ like a light bulb, scheduled maintenance 1–2 times a year.

From enquiry to a working plant
Consultation and data gathering
The number of houses/cabins, development phases, occupancy, site conditions and the discharge point.
Selection and calculation
Model, configuration, phased scaling plan, technical and commercial proposal.
Demonstration of a working site
We will show a working plant at a real community or recreation resort, with a site visit.
Supply and installation
Delivery, installation on a prepared base, commissioning, putting into operation.
Frequently asked questions
One plant for the whole community or one per house?
Usually one shared plant (or several units in parallel) for the whole development — this is cheaper to install and maintain than a septic tank under every house, and it delivers compliant treatment. The configuration is selected by the number of houses.
What to do with phased development?
BioDisc®’s modularity lets you scale up capacity in phases: you install a unit for the first phase and add the next ones as the development proceeds — without freezing capital up front.
Where does the treated water go?
To the ground (a filtration field/well) or to a water body — the 96–98% treatment meets the standards for discharge to the environment, which is critical next to a recreation area.
Who services the shared plant?
Maintenance once a year is carried out by the ZIKO service team under contract; daily supervision is not required. The service is usually ordered by the management company, a homeowners association or the resort owner.
Will there be odour and noise near the houses?
No. A rotor instead of blowers — practically silent and odourless, a sanitary zone of just 5 m, so the plant can be placed close to the development.
What about operation in winter and off-season at a recreation resort?
The system is stable even under partial load — the biology does not die off during periods of low occupancy and immediately handles a peak arrival.
How much does it cost and what does it depend on?
On the capacity (number of units), the number of phases, site conditions and the discharge point. The calculation and the technical and commercial proposal are free.
Calculate a plant for your community or resort
Send the number of houses or guests and whether phased development is planned — a ZIKO engineer will select a BioDisc® configuration, a scaling plan and the cost. On request we will show a working plant at a real site.
