Lowridge OnsiteTechnologies OSCAR XO2
The OSCAR XO2 system from Lowridge Onsite Technologies combines two technologies — the XO2 (a treatment tank comprised of a septic and aeration chamber and a discharge tank with a clarifier and pump chamber) and an OSCAR drip dispersal system (comprised of custom-made Netafim Bioline drip tubing discharged through a shallow bed of ASTM C33 sand). This combination delivers low concentrations of 2 mg/L CBOD5, 2 mg/L TSS and 20 fecal coliform colonies per 100 mL MPN. Microdosing application and up to four self-cleaning cycles daily make it a low-maintenance solution for challenging site conditions. There is no UV or chlorination. It is a plug-and-play system out of the box, making it ideal for designers, installers and maintenance professionals. It is currently approved in several western states. 877-476-8823; www.oscaronsite.com
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. 800-753-3278; www.septitech.com
Aeration Systems
Norweco SingulairModel 225L
Norweco’s Singulair Green HDPE and Singulair concrete advanced treatment units are available with the Model 225L low-profile aerator. Based on Norweco’s 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 Singulair systems. This makes it an ideal option for projects in areas with high water tables or similar challenges that necessitate a shallow burial depth. The Model 225L low-profile aerator is engineered to be a dependable and energy-efficient air delivery system. Because Singulair’s ANSI/NSF certifications require the low-profile aerator to be in operation only half the time, it has a long operational life. 419-668- 4471; www.norweco.com
Aerobic Treatment
Aero-Stream NSF 40Aerobic Treatment Units
NSF 40 Aerobic Treatment Units from Aero-Stream provide a simple and robust design achieving 26 week average of 11.39 mg/L CBOD5 and average 5.00 mg/L TSS from startup. These systems provide massive surface area on the Bio-Brush for an attached growth extended aeration process. The products are designed to fit in locally available tanks, reducing lead times and transportation costs. The simple-to-install systems require minimal maintenance. The air compressor is a corded UL-listed outdoor appliance that plugs into a standard 115-volt AC power outlet. The Aero-Alert alarm system requires no high-voltage wiring and operates on a self-contained power cell, reducing installation costs. Models are available from 450 to 1,500 gpd treatment capacities in single to multicompartment applications. 877-254-7093; www.aero-stream.com
Anua PuraSysSBR to Geoflow
Anua’s PuraSys SBR to Geoflow system seamlessly delivers advanced aerobic treatment and subsurface drip dispersal in an all-in-one treatment reactor and dripfield pump tank. The PuraSys SBR transforms a standard septic tank into a compact nitrogen-reducing treatment unit ideal for small lots and space-constrained sites. The Smart Control Panel batches cycles to adapt aeration to actual flow, reducing energy use while optimizing treatment and dispersal. Treated effluent is dispersed through Geoflow subsurface drip irrigation which provides the lowest profile and the most efficient way to apply effluent to the soil. The smart panel has auto filter and auto field flush modes and up to four manual zones. Real-time alerts for water levels, pump, or aerator issues are standard features. This fully integrated system is perfectly suited and adaptable for residential and commercial properties of all types. 336-547-9338; www.anua-us.com
SludgeHammer S-66 SlimAerobic Bacterial Generator
Engineered for homes with up to four bedrooms and narrow septic tank access, the SludgeHammer S-66 Slim Aerobic Bacterial Generator offers an environmentally responsible solution for restoring and preserving septic system health. Designed to retrofit easily into existing infrastructure, it revitalizes failing leachfields, extends the life of new systems, and minimizes environmental disturbance – all without excavation or landscaping reconstruction. At the heart of this system is the SludgeHammer Blend – a scientifically advanced consortium of oxygen-loving bacteria that amplify organic waste digestion and manage clog-forming biomat. By maintaining aerobic conditions in the septic environment, it supports natural soil absorption and long-term groundwater protection. 231-348-5866; www.sludgehammer.net
Nitrogen Reduction Systems
