Large-scale and commercial onsite systems will always be in demand. Subdivisions, schools, churches, summer camps, RV parks, restaurants, offices, strip malls — if you’re not equipped to install large systems, you’re missing out on a wide range of opportunities. Because of the nature of these systems and the facilities they serve, they often face higher regulatory scrutiny and need to handle high-strength wastewater. So the systems need to protect the environment and function properly.

If you’ll be doing large-scale installs, check out three systems that could be right for your next project.

Eliminite Commercial C-Series 

The Commercial C-Series system from Eliminite is designed to provide reliable treatment with emphasis on total nitrogen reduction for high-strength waste applications such as worker camps, RV parks, restaurants, ski and golf resorts, breweries, mines and agricultural operations. It may be used with locally sourced tanks and components. MetaRocks treatment media is designed to withstand a variety of high-strength waste-loading scenarios, particularly where clogging and odor control are major considerations. The system is scalable and may be adapted to suit specific phasing requirements, site constraints and unique demands. 888-406-2289; www.eliminite.com

Orenco AdvanTex AX-Max

AdvanTex AX-Max wastewater treatment systems from Orenco are containerized, fully plumbed units sized for larger commercial and municipal applications. Units come in a variety of configurations, measuring up to 42 feet long by 8.5 feet wide. Systems can be installed in single or multi-unit arrays, either above ground or buried to grade. They use an attached-growth treatment method to produce clear effluent with significant nutrient reduction, suitable for reuse or surface discharge after disinfection (per local regulations). One unit can process up to 5,000 gpd of raw sewage or 15,000 gpd of primary-treated effluent. Units reduce nitrogen to 90% or more, depending on configuration, and provide reliable performance with a part-time operator. Units are easy to ship and set, and have been installed in a variety of soils and climates. 800-348-9843; www.orenco.com
