Septage Receiving Experience
If your septage receiving process feels like a mess of mystery loads, manual tracking, and unclear billing, you’re not alone. Many facilities struggle with limited visibility, inconsistent data, and time-consuming oversight that can strain staff and operations.
Flowpoint addresses these challenges with more than 30 years of proven legacy in automated septage receiving solutions. We apply that experience to every system we design, manufacture, and test, focusing on accuracy, accountability, and ease of use. With an overall emphasis on quality, service, and long-term reliability, our systems help bring order, transparency, and confidence to your septage operations.
Choose Your Septage Receiving Solution
As the need for better accountability and protection of septage system assets increases, many wastewater system managers are interested in automated Septage Receiving Stations, particularly Flowpoint’s solutions. These turnkey stations offer remote monitoring and control, in conjunction with our cloud-based Septage+™ software application.
Your existing station may not need a complete rebuild. Flowpoint can assess its controls, access terminal, payment equipment, communications, software and mechanical components to determine the right upgrade path. Whether your station needs a targeted controls retrofit or a full replacement, we can help extend its working life while improving reliability, security, and day-to-day management.

optimize your station
Commander
Are you done with your existing infrastructure? With its overly labor-intensive, manual tracking? We’ll supply a stand-alone Access Terminal that integrates directly with your existing process while reducing upfront capex. Mount the panel through an existing wall for a clean, flush look, or surface-mount it on the same wall for a faster install.
Best For
Retrofit, replacement, and modernization projects.
AUTOMATe ANYWHERE
Pedestal
Another option for you is our pedestal-mounted access terminal. This is well-suited if you have an existing setup, but there isn’t any wall space for our retrofit solutions. This way, you can still enjoy the automation of our access terminal in a neat and clean stand-alone unit.
Best For
Existing sites without suitable wall-mounting space.
CONTROL EVERY ENTRY
Gate Control
If you currently use or plan to use gates to control access to your septage receiving site, this solution works for you, helping you ensure you know who’s entering your site and when.
Best For
Facilities requiring automated gate and site-access control.
BUILT AROUND YOUR PROCESS
Custom
When a standard configuration doesn’t meet your operational needs, we’ll engineer one that does. From specialized pretreatment and sampling to multiple unloading points, advanced monitoring, and site-specific controls, your custom septage receiving system is designed, manufactured, and automated as one integrated solution.
Best For:
Facilities with complex or site-specific receiving requirements.

Septage Receiving Station: Capture every gallon and every dollar
You can’t bill if you can’t track. With Flowpoint, you can authenticate every hauler with RFID or a PIN for authorized station access. Systems can also be remotely monitored and controlled from our cloud-based software. Track each load occurrence, volume, and hauler ID, and instantly access the data to generate reports.
In short, you get clean, click-ready reporting with automated manifests and billing for every hauler, every time.
Keep customers moving with both 24/7 online account access and automated station control. No phone calls needed. No gatekeeping. In effect, it’s just smooth, secure, automated septage receiving with controlled access.
Guard Your System
Pretreat your problems away.
Protect your wastewater treatment plant from the start with optional pretreatment that traps debris and breaks down solids before they hit your main wastewater treatment system. Optional automated refrigerated sampling enables you to analyze loads by transaction further.
Depending on your needs and wastewater origin, pretreatment can include:
- Refrigerated sampling with time/date/hauler tagging
- Rock traps, grinders, solids separators
- Inline analyzers for pH, conductivity, and hydrocarbons
