YupFor a septic tank?
A tricel treatment unit if you have a stream or burn or ditch near by for an outlet, that’s what we had as our ground just wouldn’t let the water away, heavy rainfall area and unsuitable soil type.

This ^ good post.Just playing devil's advocate: Why would anyone want to game the system on this?
The owner of a cottage opposite us wanted to disconnect from the shared septic tank years ago. He played tricks to "prove" the infiltration test positive in his heavy clay garden and then installed a private septic tank draining to a weeper drain within the garden. Soon after he sold the house. The new owners spent a fortune on a new system because in winter their toilets backed up and they were having to empty the septic tank weekly. I believe they sued......
I should also add that it requires an electrical supply. The compressor is 55W and the pump is 250W, and require a 6amp supply.£2250 + VAT for a 6 person tank with pumped outlet
I think it was £1800 + VAT to fit it.
Can discharge straight into stream, land drain, ditch etc.
