Butler Manufacturing Services Ltd (BMS) is one of Ireland's longest-established manufacturers and innovators in the sewage treatment and surface water management markets.

Established in 1986, we have exported to 40 plus countries worldwide via its market leading Blivet ‘all in one’ package sewage treatment system.

Rot/corrosion-proof fibreglass

Its head office, factory and R&D centre are based just outside Longford town, where BMS manufactures most of its products in rot/corrosion-proof fibreglass or GRP.

BMS focuses on the production of added value package products that are built to last and are delivered to site ‘ready to go’. Indeed, due to BMS ISO 9001 quality management system many of its original products manufactured more than 30 years ago are still performing well.

Apart from being a manufacturer, BMS has built up an excellent knowledge base in sewage treatment and surface water management. BMS offers free design for any project requiring package sewage treatment or a surface water management solution.

Indeed, we are often brought in to work with consulting engineers to help solve the toughest of problems, whether it is a sewage treatment system for variable flows, tight discharge standards or for temporary use where the local municipal system is overloaded to an attenuation/infiltration system with a high capacity or an unusual configuration.

BMS conducts regular free CPD sessions with consulting engineers on sewage treatment and Sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) sizing and selection.

The feedback we get from these sessions is excellent, as it allows the exchange of ideas between BMS and engineers and has led to quite a few product innovations and services.

Invested in bespoke software

For example, BMS invested in bespoke software, which allows us to design a surface water system including attenuation/infiltration, interceptors, silt traps, vortex silt/oil/debris separators and outlet flow controls specific to site conditions/location.

Overall, this means that BMS provides a fully certified ‘one stop shop’ for all surface water requirements including geotextiles/geomembranes. We can even install/supervise and certify the systems.

BMS was founded on the basis of an innovation grant and keeping true to this ethos, BMS is constantly developing new products and refining existing ones, for example, the Blivet UV and Stormbreaker Defender.

The BMS Blivet is the most compact ‘all in one’ system available. Even though primarily used as a permanent solution, it is also ideal for temporary treatment, as it is completely self-contained and can be placed above/below ground without a concrete surround.

This design was taken one step further by integrating a UV disinfection system. The Blivet UV has been deployed on numerous construction sites in Ireland/UK to treat the sewage generated on site.

Sustainable alternative to tankering

It offers a sustainable alternative to tankering, with an excellent payback. The Stormbreaker Defender was developed in conjunction with NUI Galway. It can be placed upstream or downstream of attenuation system/watercourses. It is excellent value and manufactured/designed in Ireland.

Overall, BMS is here to help engineers whether working on the design of sewage treatment or surface water management projects or offering free CPD sessions.
