Besides being unsightly, a nuisance and the cause of health problems, failing septic systems are often difficult and costly to fix. But there are steps you can take to rescue a system before it gets to that point.
IMET Septic Remediation Modules are inserted into existing septic tanks. The modules house extremely large and diverse aerobic microbial populations within the pore structures of the multimedia in its fixed bed. In addition, air bubbles are entrapped within the multimedia. As a result, an aerobic environment within the septic tank is sustained at all times. The result, when installed correctly, is very low effluent BOD and TSS concentrations while eliminating odor related to hydrogen sulfide formation. They can be also expanded to significantly minimize total nitrogen when it is required. Aerobic microorganisms continuously seed the effluent, therefore also remediating failing drainfields.
“It’s a drop-in modular system that eliminates odor and rejuvenates failing septic systems and drainfields while requiring only trash cleanup as needed with next to no system maintenance,” says Dr. Mehmet Gencer, CEO of IMET Corporation. “It’s proven to treat wastewater when the hydraulic load exceeds septic system design capacity, during high loads of FOG and in the case of accidental addition of toxic chemicals.”
According to Gencer, the economically feasible system uses extremely short residence times and minimal energy for aeration, resulting in markedly low BOD and TSS at all times while seeding the drainfield with active aerobic microorganisms.
“It can be applied to any type or condition of septic systems regardless of size, design and number of tanks,” he says. “It only has two simple components — a module placed in the septic tank and an air pump with a minimal power requirement.”
The technology provides an ideal surface area that allows large, diverse populations of microorganisms to grow and remain in the module. So when coupled with an effective aeration system, and a design that utilizes aeration efficiently, the IMET technology requires less air to achieve maximum results.
“The IMET system is a great fit for the septic industry because of its sustainable wastewater treatment through high performance, efficiency, simplicity and versatility,” says Gencer. “Some customers even refer to the system as the ‘magic bubbler,’ as unpleasant smells are just carried away.” 440-799-3135; www.imet.net
