Problem: Geraldine, Alabama, needed a low-maintenance and expandable wastewater treatment system to treat all of its domestic waste to regulatory limits, allow for drip dispersal and handle flow fluctuations to retain consistent treatment ensuring no drip headworks clogging or excess dispersal field biomat development.
Solution: An ECOPOD Series ATU with a drip dispersal field from Infiltrator Water Technologies was selected for the 60,000 gpd system. The system reduces levels of nitrogen, BOD and TSS. It utilizes a stable and reliable fixed-film process to treat incoming wastewater from approximately 300 mg/L BOD/TSS loading down to the specified 30/30 effluent limit requirement. A
