How Does the Commissioning Work?
Once you purchase your Commissioning package, the Klargester Service team will issue you out a questionaire to make sure that installation is completed by your contractor. They will then organise a site visit to sign off your installation and issue a site specific commissioning certificate.
Klargester offer commissioning on the following products:
- Domestic Sewage Treatment Plants
- Commercial Sewage Treatment Plants
- Oil/ Water Separators
- Pumping Stations/ Pump Chambers
- Rainwater Harvesting Systems

What you need to do before commissioning:
