Advanced Treatment Units
Norweco Singulair Green
Norweco’s Singulair Green HDPE and Singulair concrete advanced treatment units are available with the Model 225L low profile aerator. Based on the 206C aerator, the Model 225L low profile aerator features a modified bracket design, lifting handle and aspirator shaft, allowing for a 6-inch reduction of the height of the risers over the systems. This makes it ideal for projects in areas with high water tables or similar challenges that necessitate a shallow burial depth. The aerator is engineered to be the most dependable and energy efficient air delivery system in the industry. And because Singulair’s ANSI/NSF certifications require the 225L low profile aerator to be in operation only half the time, it has a much longer operational life than competitive air delivery systems. 419-668- 4471; www.norweco.com
Orenco Systems AdvanTex AX-RT with ClickTight
For projects with shallow-bury needs or limited space, the Orenco Systems AdvanTex AX-RT with ClickTight is the solution. It comes complete from the factory, and all interior components are installed, plumbed and adjusted before they are shipped. Units are simple to install. They can be shallowly buried for use between a functional, watertight septic tank and a functioning drainfield. The modular three-in-one design includes recirculation, treatment and discharge in a single unit to simplify installation and eliminate the need for additional tanks, basins, risers and lids. The system uses dependable, proven technology to treat residential septic tank effluent to better-than-secondary standards. Able to handle flows of up to 600 gpd, the unit’s sturdy, watertight basin incorporates recirculation-blend and discharge tankage into a single module, along with lightweight, highly absorbent, engineered textile media that treats a lot of wastewater in a small space. 800-348-9843; www.orenco.com
Drainfield Media/Components
Fluid Dynamic Siphons
Fluid Dynamic Siphons manufactures automatic siphons for dosing leachfields and other soil absorption fields. The siphons have no moving parts and require no electricity. They provide an efficient and economical way to increase the life and effectiveness of onsite wastewater treatment systems. Effluent is collected in a dosing tank (or the last compartment of a multicompartment tank) until a predetermined high waterline is reached, then the siphon activates and rapidly drains the tank until the low waterline is reached. The siphon then shuts off until the next cycle. 800-888-5653; www.siphons.com
Drainfield Restoration
Anua PuraSys SBR
The Anua PuraSys SBR is an effective solution for repairing failed systems and rejuvenating tired drainfields. It ships as a complete boxed kit that installs in hours inside any standard septic tank, with no extra space needed. Each kit includes everything you need — control panel, floats, siphon/sludge pump, aerator and drainfield pump — making it ideal for new construction or easy retrofits. It helps bring overloaded or clogged systems back to life by delivering highly treated, oxygen-rich wastewater that restores healthy soil conditions. Moderate daily dosing keeps the drainfield working like new with a natural wetting and drying cycle that helps it “breathe” and stay aerobic. The process is low maintenance and very energy efficient, giving homeowners a reliable, long-lasting fix without costly replacements. Certified to NSF/ANSI 40 Class I and 245 for nitrogen reduction, and approved in many states, it offers flexible residential and commercial options. 336-547-9338; www.anua-us.com
Drip System
SeptiTech STAAR
Offices, schools, restaurants, residences, subdivisions and any other type of facility that is not connected to a central sewer need their own wastewater treatment systems to handle the highly varied wastewater characteristics generated by the different activities within each. SeptiTech STAAR is a PLC-controlled, onsite wastewater treatment system for residential and commercial (500 to 200,000 gpd) applications. All below-grade components can be installed in most plastic, concrete or fiberglass tanks. Customized treatment programming designed to meet individual site needs assures robust, consistent, reliable treatment. Certified to ETV, NSF 40 and NSF 245 standards, conventional treatment achieves 98% BOD5 and TSS removal, and for the nitrogen reduction option, nitrogen can be reduced by 75% to 85%. All systems include internal discharge pumps and a control panel that tracks 90 days of flow. 207-333-6940; www.septitech.com
Excavating Equipment
Hydra-Flex Ripsaw HD
Expose underground utilities and pipelines in a nondestructive and safe way using the Ripsaw HD rotating turbo nozzle from Hydra-Flex. Its cone-shaped flow pattern is suitable for potholing. The nozzle’s 0-degree stream rotates at an 18-degree cone of coverage, which increases impingement to dig faster and use less water — better results with fewer gallons per minute. A slower stream rotation increases digging power, improves control and reduces the nozzle’s wear and tear to lengthen its life. Built with heavy-duty coating, stainless steel housing and tungsten carbide wear surfaces, its long-lasting, premium components stand tall against frost, shale and rocky soil. Its coating is nonconductive, which provides extra safety for both users and utilities. Repair kits extend the nozzle’s life and have you back up and running in just 10 minutes. 952-808-3640; www.hydraflexinc.com
