Treatment Units
We produce single skid-mounted units treating up to 15,000 gallons per day (serves 300 people). These units can be operated in parallel so that they are scaleable for a larger number of people.  Typical sizes are 2500 gpm (50 people); 5,000 gpm (50-100 people); 7500 gpm (100-150 people); 10,000 gpm (150-200 people); and 15,000 gpm (200-300 people). Custom sizes are also available.

Extended Aeration Sewage Treatment Plant System
The aeration treatment process involves a succession of steps:  black and gray wastewater enters the surge chamber through a bar screen to remove large debris. A sump pump transfers the wastewater from the surge chamber through a flow control box into the aeration chamber, where a blower aerates the water for 24 hours. The aerated water flows into a clarifier where the sludge sinks to the bottom and scum floats to the top. The sludge and scum are returned to the aeration chamber by airlift pumps.  Excess sludge is transferred to the aerated sludge holding             chamber by manual valves. The clarified water flows through a tablet chlorinator into the chlorine contact chamber and to discharge.
