As far as powering a treatment plant goes you only need the compressor if you can site the tank so it can discharge via gravity.
If you can discharge via gravity ( just a normal 110 underground soil pipe) to a ditch or land drain etc the power requirement is 55Watts for the compressor. Not much electric at all.
It is not beyond solar and battery capabilities.
Worth considering as building a normal soakaway isn't cheap never mind a fancy one.
Could the compressor not be situated next to the power supply and the air piped to the tank? Pipe is usually cheaper than cable.
