Problem: The drainfield at an Indiana church was ponding, and after investigating the issue, Orenco Systems technicians determined the drainfield piping was clogged with biomat.

Solution: A BioMicrobics RetroFAST septic system enhancement unit was installed in the church’s septic tank. The attached-growth biological treatment unit is designed to upgrade an underperforming septic system. The biological treatment reduces the biodegradable organic matter in the wastewater and also delivers more dissolved oxygen to the drainfield, breaking up the biomat. The unit is installed in the existing septic tank through a standard 18-inch manhole. The installation can be completed without heavy machinery, usually in less than half a day. 

Result: Within a few months, the drainfield was revitalized, and the ponding disappeared.
