HOW THE AQUA SAIE SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM FT'NCTIONS The Aqua Safe sewagetreatmentplant in many ways is a scaleddown version of larger township and municipalitysewagetreafinentplants.It employsanextended aerationactivatedsludgeprocess.Thistypeof treatmentdependsprimarily upon the useof air that is introducedby passingfrom the blower to four (4) air lines locatedaroundthe perimeterof the mixing chamber. EcologicalTankslnc., Aqua Safe plantsaremadeup of an outer mixing tank anda centersettlingchamber calleda clarifier. Raw unsettledwastewaterfrom your homeentersdirectly into themixing tankwheresimple hydraulic displacementis accomplishedby the intoduction of air which promotesthe growth of aerobic organismsin much larger amountsthan would occrr naturally. Thesebreak down the organicsolids in the wastewater. From the outer mixing tank or aerationchamber,mixed liquid entersthe coneshapedsettlingchambe!better known asthe clarifier, from the bottom. No mixing occursin this quiet zonewheresolids separatefrom the liquid andsettleto the bottom of the clarifier andre-enterthe mixing chamber.The liquid that separates from the solidsin the clarifier continueto flow upwardto the dischargepipe. The resultsof theAqua Sa/e processis a clear,odorlesseffluent discharge,which meetsor exceedsstate water qualiry standards.
