1 FAST wastewater treatment systems

2 Presentation Outline Company Overview Basics Types of Wastewater Treatment Overview of the FAST System Basics of Operation and Maintenance

3 Company Overview Bio-Microbics, Inc. was founded in 1996 Affiliate of Smith and Loveless, Inc. for 13 years Over 40,000 installations worldwide Staff of engineers, biologists and chemists Offer design review and troubleshooting support Manufacture and supply over 16 different products for the wastewater and storm water industries One of a very small number of treatment systems that have a history of being able to treat high strength waste.

11 Basic Wastewater Treatment

12 Activated Sludge Influent Optional primary clarifier Aeration Final Clarifier Effluent Primary Sludge Waste Sludge

13 Activated Sludge Less expensive usually Ideal conditions=massive bacteria population More susceptible to surges/toxins Work better when fed regularly Diffuser cleaning/replacement Aerators get bound up by hair, strings

14 Fixed Film Typical Process Names Sand Filter (ISF & RSF) Peat Filter Lateral Fields Textile Filter Synthetic Media Rotating Biological Contactor

15 Fixed Film Better able to withstand surges Less susceptible to starvation More expensive/larger footprint More complicated to install Most media will need replaced at some point Must have frequent and equal distribution of waste = timers/pump/small orifices

16 Where Does the Biomass Grow?

17 What is FAST? FAST is an aerobic, fixed film packed bed reactor with 100% submerged media. It can successfully treat any wastewater containing degradable organics.

18 Benefits of FAST Attached growth technology Better able to withstand surges Less susceptible to starvation Reasonable cost Easy to install/small footprint Media will not need replaced* Has constant and equal distribution of waste without timers/small orifices Nothing in the tank needs routine service.

19 FAST is also Landscape friendly!

20 Robust process handles tough applications Low maintenance less mess Complete or partial treatment options

31 Basics of Operation and Maintenance

32 Operation and Maintenance

33 Main Points to Remember (maintenance should be simple) KEEP THE BLOWER RUNNING (clean the steel air filter) MAKE SURE THERE IS A SPLASH IN UNIT (no air leaks) CHECK AMOUNT OF GROWTH & WATER LEVEL LOOK AT THE EFFLUENT (looks clear and clean) PUMP THE SLUDGE (monitor sludge in both tanks)

34 Main Points to Remember (maintenance should be simple) KEEP THE BLOWER RUNNING (clean the steel air filter) MAKE SURE THERE IS A SPLASH IN UNIT (no air leaks) CHECK AMOUNT OF GROWTH & WATER LEVEL LOOK AT THE EFFLUENT (looks clear and clean) PUMP THE SLUDGE (monitor sludge in both compartments)

43 Measuring Sludge Always measure with the blower running!
