In a nutshell, Simple, Economical and Reliable Waste Water Treatment!
Legend: 1 to 7
- Waste water from the dwelling flows through the inlet into the primary chamber.
- Heavy solids naturally settle and form as sludge in the bottom of this chamber.
- Effluent flows into the first aeration chamber where is lightly aerated to help treat the water.
- Additional surface area (bio-media) is in the aeration chambers to help bacteria to naturally grow to break down the waste water.
- Treated water then flows to the second aeration chamber for an additional level of treatment.
- The now pre-treated water then flows into the final settlement chamber and settles.
- Any remaining solids settle to the bottom where they are transferred back to the primary chamber by air siphon. This feature also prevents the water from stagnating during extended periods of non-use.
- The treated water is now clean and ready to be discharged from the Sepcon BAF to the percolation area / polishing filter.
