Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO083282
Mountain View Motel WWTP
Yancey County
Dear Mr. Mehta:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly,
we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
The Division has reviewed your request to have weekly averages for BOD, Total Suspended Residue and Fecal.
Coliform. All non-municipal discharges are required to meet a monthly average and daily maximum for all
conventional parameters, therefore, the Division cannot comply with your request. However, the NPDES Unit will
forward your concerns regarding compliance to the Point Source Compliance and Enforcement Unit.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
. you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt
of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to
obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division
of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that
may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Christie Jackson at telephone number (919)

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority: The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or"the Division" Means the Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
3. EMC Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,
33 USC 1251,et. seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by
adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number
of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average"in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is,therefore,an arithmetic
mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by
the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average' in Part I of the
permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge' is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If
only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum
daily discharge." This limitation is identified as"Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge' is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily -
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding
the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the
tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average'in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation
is identified as"Monthly Average' under"Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 11
6.b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily
discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured
during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal
to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal
coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This
limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If
only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the
"Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under"Other Limits" in Part I of the
permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations
of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the
concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean(weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform
bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is
identified as"Annual Average'under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved
oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one
dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average
concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average'in the text of Part I. ,.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is
identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation"in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods:January through March, April through
June,July through September,and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is
determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the
sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually
without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually
except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the
flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample:A composite sample shall consist of-
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and
(v) combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or

Part II
Page 3 of 11
8.a. (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between
samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement
between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present \ l
gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system,or
(3) a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than
once per hour,and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour
except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases,
effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period which are
equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case
may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of
samples less than four(4) during a 24-hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes;
the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the
receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided
by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual
values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog
of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean,values of zero(0) shall be considered to be one(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its
respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day: A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.
However, for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day
may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance: A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116
pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant: A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean
Water Act.

SECTION C. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Certified Operator
Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes, and upon classification of the facility by the
Certification Commission, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in
responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the
grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission. The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type
and any grade to comply with the conditions of Tide 15A NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. The ORC of the facility
must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding
weekends and holidays,and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility
and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A,NCAC Chapter 8G .0200. Once the facility is classified,
the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible
charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50%complete.
2. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control
(and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the
conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and
appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities
or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance
with the conditions of the permit.
3. _Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including
the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment
facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources
which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not
mean economic loss caused by delays in production.

Part II
Page 7 of 11
4.b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs c.and d.of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the
anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,
E. 6.of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee
for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c.of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse affects,if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph
d. 0) of this section.
5. lip-sets
a. Definition: "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable
control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational
error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,
or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance
with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition
are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by
upset,and before an action for noncompliance,is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2)The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated;and
(3)The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II,E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,B.2.of this permit.
d. Burden of proof: In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an
upset has the burden of proof.

Part II
Page 8 of 11
6. Removed Substances
l'^ Solids, sludges, filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters
shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant
from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The permittee
shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
B ass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection,or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above,influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. i
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having -a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Dis_char
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass,the"daily discharge"is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge' concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge' during the calendar month for conventional and other non-toxicant parameters.
NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average' calculation for determining compliance with permit limits for
toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s),that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWO or"the Division"
The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facilijy Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility,or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean,values of"0" (or"< [detection level]") shall be considered=1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Ziistantaneous flow measurement -- -
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.

MINI-PLANT TM.
MODELS # 54291-5* TO # 54291-30-230
THE MINI-PLANT IS A MINIATURE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM WHICH TREATS
DOMESTIC WASTEWATER ( 100 TO 400 Mg./LITER BOD5 "BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND"
AND SS. "SUSPENDED SOLIDS" ) FOR HOMES, OFFICES, BUSINESSES, AND MANY OTHER
APPLICATIONS. IT PROVIDES A REDUCTION IN POLLUTANTS (BOD5 & SS.) TO A DEGREE
OF TREATMENT EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN MODERN MUNICIPAL SEWAGE TREATMENT
PLANTS. THE MINI-PLANT HAS THE CAPACITY TO TREAT UP TO 3,000 GALLONS ( 13,638
LITERS ) PER DAY. ( THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL,
N.S.F.I. UNDER STANDARD # 40 ONLY LISTS UNITS UP TO 1,500 C.P.D. ) THE
MINI-PLANT IS AVAILABLE IN OUR OWN CUSTOM MANUFACTURED FIBERGLASS TANK,
OR AS AN ADD ON KIT, TO BE INSTALLED ONTO LOCALLY MANUFACTURED ONE
COMPARTMENT CONCRETE TANK ( S ). ALL MINI-pLANT TANKS ARE SIZED TO HOLD
THREE TIMES THE DAILY WASTEWATER FLOW, THUS PROVIDING 100% OR MORE
OVERLOAD CAPACITY. THIS GIVES THE MINI-PLANT THE ABILITY TO HANDLE THE
OCCASIONAL SHOCK LOAD.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
THE MINI-PLANT IS A SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR, CONTROLLED BY A FACTORY
SET PROGRAMMER WHICH TIMES THE AERATION AND SETTLING FUNCTIONS. IT
DISCHARGES A BATCH OF TREATED EFFLUENT TO THE DISPOSAL AREA ONCE DAILY.
THE NORMAL PROGRAM AERATES FOR 20 HOURS A DAY, SUPPLYING THE WASTEWATER
WITH FINE DIFFUSED AIR FROM 6:00 AM. UNTIL 2 A.M. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AT
2:00 AM., THE PROGRAMMER TURNS OFF THE COMPRESSOR AND A 3 HOUR QUIESCENT
SETTLING PERIOD FOLLOWS. (DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THE AERATION TANK BECOMES
THE SETTLING TANK AND THE BATCH PROCESS USES THIS TIME TO SEPARATE THE
SOLIDS FROM THE CLEAR SUPERNATAN.THIS DIFFERS FROM A FLOW THROUGH SYSTEM IN
THAT IT USES SEPARATE COMPARTMENTS OR TANKS TO ACCOMPLISH THE SEPARATION
). AFTER THE 3 HOURS OF PERFECTLY QUIESCENT SETTLING PERIOD, THE CLEAR
SUPERNATAN ( EFFLUENT ) IS DISCHARGED DURING THE REMAINING HOUR, ( 5:00 TO
6:00 AM. ). THE SYSTEM THEN RETURNS TO THE AERATION PROCESS AT 6 A.M., FOR
THE NEXT 20, HOURS TO FURTHER DIGEST THE RETAINED ORGANIC SOLIDS. THE
MINI-PLANT HAS THREE MAIN SECTIONS; THE CONTROL PANEL, THE MANWAY AND THE
TANK, WITH ITS' IN TANK COMPONENTS.
THE MINI-PLANT CONTROL PANEL IS MOUNTED IN AN OUTDOOR WEATHERPROOF
ENCLOSURE. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC BRAIN WHICH MONITORS AND CONTROLS ALL PLANT
FUNCTIONS. THE PANEL HAS A VISUAL AND AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL TO SHOW NORMAL
OPERATIONS OR POSSIBLE MALFUNCTIONS. THERE ARE CIRCUIT BREAKERS,
THERMOELECTRIC PROTECTED MOTOR STARTING SWITCHES, RELAYS, AND LEVEL
SENSORS TO MONITOR THE PLANT. THE CONTROL PANEL' ENCLOSURE IS
APPROXIMATELY 18" H X 14" W X 6" D AND THE POWER SUPPLY IS 230 VOLT,
SINGLE PHASE, 60 HERTZ. THE COMPRESSOR AND THE PUMP DO NOT OPERATE
AT THE SAME TIME

2
THE MINI-PLANT MANWAY IS MANUFACTURED FROM HEAVY FIBERGLASS
REINFORCED POLYESTER. IT PROTECTS AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE AIR
COMPRESSOR, ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX AND THE MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS.
INSIDE THE MANWAY, AN ENERGY EFFICIENT RING TYPE AIR COMPRESSOR IS MOUNTED.
THE LEVEL SENSORS AND THE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP ARE ALSO WIRED TO THE JUNCTION
BOX. THE INSTALLING DEALER INTER CONNECTS THE JUNCTION BOX TO THE CONTROL
PANEL , SEALS THE MANWAY TO THE TANK AND PIPES THE DIFFUSERS AND
MANIFOLD IN PLACE. THE MANWAY IS AVAILABLE IN GREEN OR WHITE.
THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS A FUJI ENERGY EFFICIENT RING TYPE THAT CAN SUPPLY UP
TO 52 CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER MINUTE TO THE DIFFUSERS. IT OPERATES ON 230 VOLTS,
60 HZ. AND VARIES IN H.P. AND AMPERE DEPENDING ON SIZE AND BOD 5 LOADING OF
THE M NI-PLANT, IT IS WIRED TO THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX AND PIPED TO THE
AIR MANIFOLD AND DIFFUSERS.
THE TANK & ITS' IN TANK COMPONENTS.
AS MENTION EARLIER, WE MANUFACTURE MINI-PLANT TREATMENT UNITS IN FIBERGLASS
TANKS AND MINI-PLANT CONVERSION UNITS FOR INSTALLATION ONTO LOCALLY
MANUFACTURED CONCRETE TANKS. THE MINI-PLANT KITS ARE MORE ECONOMICAL
THAN THE FIBERGLASS TANK UNITS BUT THE FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT MINI-PLANT COMES
ASSEMBLED AND READY TO BE INSTALLED. WE ALSO MANUFACTURE MANY SIZES OF
MINI-PLANTS RANGING FROM 500 G.P.D.TO A MAXIMUM DAILY TREATMENT CAPACITY OF
3,000 GALLONS ( 13,638 LITERS ) PER DAY.WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL TANKS BE SIZED
AT A MNIMUM OF TWICE THE MAXIMUM DAILY DESIGN WASTEWATER FLOW. THE TANK
CONTAINS THREE LIQUID LEVEL SENSORS (LOW LEVEL PUMP SHUT OFF, HIGH LIQUID
LEVEL ALARM AND AN EMERGENCY PUMP-ON SWITCH, THE PUMP ON SWITCH TURNS
THE PUMP ON DURING A HIGH WATER LEVEL EMERGENCY THUS PREVENTING THE
BLOWER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM FLOODING ). SEVERAL HIGH
DENSITY AIR DIFFUSERS AND ONE INDUSTRIAL TYPE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP ARE ALSO
INSIDE THE TANK.
EFFLUENT DISPOSAL.
IN MOST CASES, EFFLUENT IS PUMPED TO AN ON SITE FILTER BED
OR ABSORPTION TRENCH. IN SOME SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES, THE TREATED EFFLUENT
CAN BE PUMPED TO PRESSURE OR VACUUM LINES FOR TRANSPORTING TO A COMMUNITY
DISPOSAL AREA. OCCASIONALLY, WHERE SUB SURFACE DISPOSAL IS NOT FEASIBLE,
SURFACE OR OFF SITE DISPOSAL MAY BE CONSIDERED WITH DISINFECTION AFTER
FILTRATION. (LOCAL REGULATIONS GOVERN METHODS OF DISPOSAL.)
EFFLUENT QUALITY.
THE MINI-PLANTS ( 54291-5-110* TO 54291-15*) HAVE BEEN TESTED AND
LISTED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL SINCE
1971. N.S.F.I. MEASURES THE MAJOR POLLUTANTS ( BOD5 AND SS.) IN MILLIGRAMS
PER LITER (MG./L). THE MINI-PLANT UNFILTERED EFFLUENT MEETS OR EXCEEDS
N.S.F.I. CLASS TWO STANDARD OF 60 MG./L BOD 5 AND 100 MG./L SS. THE FILTERED
EFFLUENT MEETS OR EXCEEDS N.S.F.I. CLASS' ONE STANDARD OF 30 MG./L BOD5 &
30 MG./L SS. ACTUAL FIELD TESTS BY N.S.F.I. SHOW THE MEDIAN OF UNFILTERED
EFFLUENT (CLASS TWO) TO BE 27 MG./L BOD5 & SS. AND THE FILTERED EFFLUENT
( CLASS ONE ) TO BE 5 MG. ./ L. THE AEROBIC PROCESS GREATLY REDUCES THE
COLIFORM COUNT WHICH IS FURTHER REDUCED BY FILTRATION. TO ACHIEVE 100%
REDUCTION, AS REQUIRED FOR SURFACE DISCHARGE DISPOSAL, THE USE OF A
DISINFECTANT IS NECESSARY.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION. THE NORMAL OPERATING CYCLE POWER CONSUMPTION FOR
THE 54291-10* MINI-PLANT IS 6.5 KILOWATTS/DAY

GENERAL INFORMATION
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO EXPRESS AN INTEREST IN OUR
ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM.
1 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ATTACHED CATALOGUE, AQUAROBIC
MANUFACTURES ADVANCED WASTEWATER SYSTEMS IN ALL SIZES, FROM THE
i- SMALL SINGLE FAMILY UNIT ( THE MINI PLANT ) TO ONE LARGE ENOUGH TO
SERVICE A SMALL COMMUNITY OR COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT.
IN SOME STATES, LIKE ILLINOIS FOR EXAMPLE, OUR MINI PLANT
FOLLOWED BY THE AQUAROBIC MODEL # 3,000 FILTER UNIT IS PERMITTED TO
J DISCHARGE TO THE SURFACE AFTER DISINFECTING. IN MANY OF THE CARIBBEAN
ISLANDS WHERE WATER IS SCARCE, WE HAVE SEVERAL MINI-PLANT FILTER
SYSTEMS THAT RECYCLE FOR IRRIGATION, AND IN ONE CASE RECYCLING FOR
FLUSHING TOILETS.
.� THE LARGEST UNIT THAT WE HAVE INSTALLED TO DATE HAS A TREATMENT
CAPACITY OF 100,000 G.P.D. THIS ONE IS AT A MAN CAMP FOR AN OIL DRILLING
t COMPANY IN BIG PINEY, WYOMING.
THE MINI PLANT ( NSFI CLASS I )
THE MINI CLASSIFICATION COVERS UNITS WITH SIZES RANGING FROM 500
TO 3,000 IN 100 GALLON INCREMENTS. THESE PLANT SIZES FROM 500 TO 1,500
}' GAL. / DAY FALL UNDER NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL
J ( NSFI ) STANDARD 40. THE MINI SERIES HAS UNDERGONE THE RIGOROUS SIX
MONTH NSFI TESTING PROGRAM, AND ALL PLANTS UP TO 1,500 GAL. / DAY
CARRY THE "NSFI LISTING MARK" REQUIRED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. MINI-
PLANT UNITS ARE NORMALLY FURNISHED COMPLETELY FACTORY ASSEMBLED
1 IN FIBERGLASS TANKS.
i A MINI PLANT "CONCRETE ADAPTATION MODULE" IS ALSO AVAILABLE
J FOR INSTALLATION INTO A STANDARD ONE COMPARTMENT SEPTIC TANK. DUE
TO THE UNIQUE PROCESS INVOLVED, TANKS USED WITH THE "ADAPTATION
MODULE" MUST HOLD A MINIMUM VOLUME OF THREE TIMES THE RATED DAILY
TREATMENT CAPACITY.
IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED NSF TESTING, AQUAROBIC HAS FURTHER
i SUBJECTED THE MINI SERIES TO THE MORE STRINGENT NSF "STRESS TESTING
J PROGRAM," SUCCESSFULLY MEETING THE TEST LIMITS. THIS PROGRAM IS
DESIGNED TO TEST THE PLANT INTEGRITY DURING EXPOSURE TO VARIATIONS IN
E FLOW AND WASTE STRENGTH AS EXPERIENCED DURING NORMAL FAMILY LIVING
It,ll CONDITIONS.
1

GENERAL INFORMATION
THESE TESTS HAVE PROVEN THAT THE MINI-PLANT PERFORMANCE IS
CONSISTENTLY SUPERIOR TO THAT OF MOST MUNICIPAL "SECONDARY" WASTE
WATER TREATMENT PLANTS. THE TEST PLANT CONTINUALLY PERFORMED WELL
WITHIN THE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ESTABLISHED DISCHARGE
LIMITS OF 30 MG/L ( MILLIGRAM PER LITER ) EACH OF BOD5 AND SUSPENDED
SOLIDS ( SS ), AVERAGING 7 MG/L BODS AND 11 MG/L SS RESPECTIVELY.
FOR AREAS WHERE A HIGHER DEGREE OF TREATMENT ( COMMONLY
KNOWN AS "TERTIARY TREATMENT" ) IS REQUIRED, AQUAROBIC OFFERS A
UNIQUE AEROBIC UP-FLOW FILTER WHICH EFFLUENT QUALITY AVERAGED LESS
THEN 5 MG/L OF BOD AND 5 MG/L OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS IN THE SIX MONTH NSF
TEST SERIES. ( NSFI CLASS 1 ) ( AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL INC. CLASS 1A )
THE RESULTING EFFLUENT IS OF TAP WATER CLARITY IN APPEARANCE
AND IS SUITABLE, WITH THE USE OF AN ADDITIONAL DISINFECTING UNIT, FOR
RECYCLING FOR TOILET FLUSHING AND COOLING TOWER MAKE-UP. CONTAINING
SOME NUTRIENT ( FERTILIZER ) VALUE, IT IS ALSO SAFE FOR IRRIGATION.
OUR MULTI-BATCH MINI-PLANTS ( SBR ) LEND THEMSELVES WELL TO
TREATING THE WASTEWATER FROM A CLUSTER OF HOMES OR APARTMENTS. l
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE CLEANING THE WASTEWATER BY 95% + AND THEN J
DISINFECTING IT TO ELIMINATE BACTERIA.
THE MAXI PLANT
THE "SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR" ( S B R ) PROCESS MAXI
PLANT: IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM CLARITY OF THE TREATED EFFLUENT,
THE MULTI BATCH MAXI-PLANT SYSTEM WORKS ON A PERIODIC FILL AND
DRAW PRINCIPLE ( SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR ). DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT
HOURS, RAW SEWAGE IS PUMPED INTO THE TREATMENT COMPARTMENT BY
PUMPS IN THE LIFT STATIONS ( OR BY GRAVITY ).
THE AERATION CHAMBER ( TREATMENT COMPARTMENT):
THIS CHAMBER HAS A CAPACITY OF 100% OF THE CALCULATED DAILY
FLOW PLUS A 50% MARGIN OF SAFETY. THE WASTEWATER IS CONTINUALLY r
EXPOSED TO FINE AIR BUBBLES. EACH REGENERATIVE RING COMPRESSOR IS
RATED TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 2,100 CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER POUND OF
BOD5 AT THE MAXIMUM WATER DEPTH POSSIBLE ( MWD ).
MULTI-BATCH SEQUENCE: EVERY 4 HOURS, TRANSFER PUMP #1 (TP-1)
PUMPS FOR 30 MINUTES FILLING THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER WITH MIXED LIQUOR
UNTIL IT REACHES THE OVERFLOW WEIR AND OVERFLOWS BACK TO THE ( '
AERATION CHAMBER, THUS SKIMMING BACK THE FLOATABLES RETAINED FROM
THE PREVIOUS BATCH FOR FURTHER TREATMENT. ( THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER IS
SIZED TO HOLD ONE AND ONE HALF (.1 1/2) THE VOLUME THAT IS CALCULATED
PER BATCH, FOR EXAMPLE IF WE ARE PROCESSING 6,000 GPD. THE CLARIFIER
CHAMBER WILL HOLD 1,500 GAL., 1,000 GAL. WILL BE DECANT EVERY 4 HR. AND
500 GAL. WILL RETURN TO THE AERATION CHAMBER BY THE SLUDGE RETURN
PUMP ). i
A 3 HOUR PERFECTLY QUIESCENT PERIOD FOLLOWS. ( NOTE, THAT
_D-URING - T--HIS TIME- -PER IOD,-T-HERE-I-S-N-O-MOVEM-EN-T-I-N THE-CLASSI-TIER-
CHAMBER, SO SIZING THIS CHAMBER IS STRAIGHT FORWARD ).

AFTER SETTLING PERIOD, TRANSFER PUMP #2 (TP-2) WHICH IS
SUSPENDED IN THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER, STARTS AND TRANSFERS THE
Fi SUPERNATANT TO THE UP-FLOW FILTER CHAMBER.
WHEN THE LIQUID IN THE CLARIFIED CHAMBER REACHES A
'-� PREDETERMINED LOW LEVEL, A FLOAT SWITCH STOPS TRANSFER PUMP #2
i l (TP-2) AND STARTS THE SLUDGE RETURN PUMP #3 ( TP-3 ) TRANSFERRING THE
1/3 VOLUME REMAINING WITH THE SETTLED SLUDGE TO THE FRONT AREA OF
THE TREATMENT COMPARTMENT FOR ADDITIONAL BIOLOGICAL DIGESTION.
I IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER ANOTHER 4 HOUR CYCLE IS INITIATED. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT, THAT THE AQUAROBIC SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR
( SBR ) PROCESS IS NOT AFFECTED BY FLOW VARIATIONS DURING THE DAY AND
NIGHT, WE PROCESS 1/6 OF THE DAILY FLOW EVERY 4 HOURS.
THE WASTEWATER IS RETAINED IN THE LARGE TREATMENT COMPARTMENT
AND ONLY A PREDETERMINED VOLUME IS TRANSFERRED TO THE CLARIFIED
CHAMBER .EVERY FOUR HOURS. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY
ABOUT PEAK FLOWS OR DESIGN PEAK FLOWS.
1}
1 DURING SEASONAL PERIODS OF LOW FLOW, A LOW LEVEL FLOAT SWITCH
PREVENTS TRANSFER PUMP #1 (TP-1) FROM STARTING, THUS ALLOWING THE
SYSTEM TO SKIP ONE OR MORE 4 HOUR CYCLES.
DURING LOW WATER USE, THE REGENERATIVE RING COMPRESSORS ARE
THEN PROGRAMMED TO OPERATE AT INTERMITTENT TIME CYCLES, SAVING
ENERGY.
TERTIARY TREATMENT:
NOW RETURNING TO THE PROCESS SEQUENCE, THE CLEAR SUPERNATANT
J WHICH WAS TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE CLASSIFIER CHAMBER BY TRANSFER
PUMP #2 ( TP-2 ) IS PUMPED DOWN TO A PERFORATED MANIFOLD AT THE BASE
OF THE UP-FLOW FILTER CHAMBER WHERE IT RISES SLOWLY THROUGH THE
FILTER MEDIA.
AT THE TOP OF THE FILTER THE POLISHED CLEAR LIQUOR THEN
OVERFLOWS BY GRAVITY TO THE LAST CHAMBER WHERE THE EFFLUENT CAN
_ THEN BE FURTHER TREATED FOR NITROGEN REMOVAL, DISINFECTED USING UV.
LIGHT, CHLORINE, OR IODINE CRYSTALS AND THEN IT CAN BE RECYCLED BACK
FOR TOILET FLUSHING, LAWN WATERING AND OTHER NON-POTABLE USES.-
AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE FILTER CYCLE THE REMAINING FLUID IN
THE UP-FLOW FILTER IS RETURNED TO THE AERATION CHAMBER BY THE FILTER
BACKWASH PUMP #4 ( TP-4 ) WHICH IS LOCATED IN A PERFORATED WELL TILE IN
THE CENTER OF THE FILTER MEDIA. THE RAPID RETURN RATE FLUSHES BACK
ACCUMULATED SOLIDS FROM THE FILTER AND AS THE LIQUID IS REMOVED
FROM THE FILTER MEDIA, AIR RE-ENTERS THUS MAINTAINING A HEALTHY
AEROBIC BIOMASS TO REDUCE THE POLLUTION LOAD FROM INCOMING BATCHES.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DENITRIFICATION:
THE PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS IN
WASTEWATER MAY BE EASIEST DESCRIBED AS TWO SEPARATE BIOLOGICAL
REACTIONS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FREQUENTLY INTERRELATED.
THE FIRST STEP IS DESIGNED TO CONVERT AMMONIA NITROGEN AND
ORGANIC NITROGEN INTO NITRATE NITROGEN. THIS PROCESS ( NITRIFICATION )
IS A RESULT OF CERTAIN BACTERIA BEING ABLE TO OXIDIZE AMMONIA TO
NITRATE NITROGEN. THESE BACTERIA ( NITROSOMONAS AND NITROBACTER )
REQUIRE AEROBIC CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO PROCREATE. THE AQUAROBIC
MODULAR ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO
BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN SUPPORTING BIOLOGICAL NITRIFICATION RESULTING
IN AN 85-95% CONVERSION TO NITRATE. THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE
IDEAL CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE PLANT'S AERATION CHAMBER, I.E. HIGHLY
DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION AND LONG RETENTION TIME.
L I'
IN THE SECOND PROCESS STEP, DENITRIFICATION IS ACCOMPLISHED
WITH THE USE OF ANOTHER GROUP OF BACTERIA ( PSUEDOMONAS, —
MICROCOCCUS, ARCHROMABACTER AND BACILLUS. ) THESE BACTERIA REQUIRE
ANOXIC CONDITIONS (WITHOUT FREE OXYGEN ) DURING THIS CONDITION L
PERIOD THEY UTILIZE THE NITRATE NITROGEN AS AN OXYGEN SOURCE, THUS
REVERTING THE NITRATE NITROGEN TO GASEOUS NITROGEN, WHICH THEN 0.
ESCAPES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
THE RATE OF DENITRIFICATION IS MINIMIZED IN THE PRESENCE OF FREE
OXYGEN. DENITRIFICATION CAN OCCUR AT DIMINISHED RATES IF ANOXIC
CONDITIONS HAVE PREVIOUSLY EXISTED DURING WHICH ENZYME SYNTHESIS
MAY OCCUR. IT IS, HOWEVER, GENERALLY AGREED THAT THE LEVEL OF
DISSOLVED OXYGEN SHOULD APPROACH ZERO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE
CONSISTENTLY GOOD PERFORMANCE.
SINCE IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT THE TWO BACTERIA GROUPS CAN IN C
FACT, LIVE TOGETHER, IT THEN BECOMES A MATTER OF PROPER TIMING OF THE
AIR SUPPLY CYCLES AND CONTROL OF SLUDGE PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO
OBTAIN OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
TESTING: IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ONTARIO MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, L
NSFI RECENTLY COMPLETED TESTING THE AQUAROBIC UNIT'S DENITRIFICATION
CAPABILITIES. THE RESULTS ARE PUBLISHED IN NSFI'S JUNE 1994 REPORT
ENTITLED RESEARCH STUDY, AQUAROBIC AEROBIC SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
WITH DENITRIFICATION. THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THIS REPORT STATES:
"...the unit was able to achieve significant denitrification resulting in effluent nitrate
levels consistently less than 4 mg/l (overall mean 4.5 mg/1), while generally
maintaining CBOD, levels below 30 mg/1. Influent TKN levels averaged
approximately 40 mg/l, while effluent TKN plus nitrate-nitrogen concentrations j }
averaged below 3 mg/l. In limited sampling, effluent nitrite levels were generally
non-detectable and some removal of dissolved phosphate species was observed through
the overall unit."
I HOPE THAT I HAVE ADEQUATELY EXPLAINED THE AQUAROBIC
INTERNATIONAL INC. SEQUENCING BATCH REACTOR ( SBR ) PROCESS._ IF YOU

THE AQUAROBIC MINI-PLANT IS A MINIATURE ADVANCED WASTEWATER
TREATMENT SYSTEM WHICH TREATS DOMESTIC WASTEWATER ( 100 TO 400 Mg./LITER BOD5
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND" AND SS. "SUSPENDED SOLIDS" ) FOR HOMES, OFFICES,
BUSINESSES,AND MANY OTHER APPLICATIONS. IT PROVIDES A REDUCTION IN POLLUTANTS
( BOD5 & S S. ) TO A DEGREE OF TREATMENT EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN MODERN
-� MUNICIPAL SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS. THE MINI-PLANT HAS THE CAPACITY TO
F TREAT UP TO 3,000 GALLONS ( 13,638 LITERS ) PER DAY. ( THE NATIONAL SANITATION
FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL, ( NSFI ) UNDER STANDARD # 40 ONLY LISTS
UNITS UP TO 1,500 G.P.D. ) THE MINI-PLANT IS AVAILABLE IN OUR OWN CUSTOM
MANUFACTURED FIBERGLASS TANK, OR AS AN ADD ON KIT,TO BE INSTALLED ONTO LOCALLY
MANUFACTURED ONE COMPARTMENT CONCRETE TANK ( S ). ALL MINI-PLANT TANKS
ARE SIZED TO HOLD THREE TIMES THE DAILY WASTEWATER FLOW, THUS PROVIDING
100% OR MORE OVERLOAD CAPACITY. THIS GIVES THE AQUAROBIC MINI-PLANT
THE. ABILITY TO HANDLF. THE OCrASTONAi SHOCK LOAD,
SYSTEM OPF,RATTON:
S
THE MINI-PLANT IS A SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR CONTROLLED
BY A FACTORY SET PROGRAMMER WHICH TIMES THE AERATION AND SETTLING
FUNCTIONS. TT DISCHARGES A BATCH OF TREATED EFFLUENT TO THE DISPOSAL AREA
E ONCE DAILY. THE NORMAL PROGRAM AERATES FOR 20 HOURS A DAY, SUPPLYING THE
WASTEWATER WITH FINE DIFFUSED AIR FROM 6:00 A.M. UNTIL 2 A.M. THE FOLLOWING
MORNING. AT 2:00 A.M., THE PROGRAMMER TURNS OFF THE COMPRESSOR AND A 3 HOUR
QUIESCENT SETTLING PERIOD FOLLOWS. ( DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THE AERATION
TANK BECOMES THE SETTLING TANK AND THE BATCH PROCESS USES THIS TIME TO
SEPARATE THE SOLIDS FROM THE CLEAR SUPERNATANT. THIS DIFFERS FROM A FLOW
1 THROUGH SYSTEM IN THAT IT USES SEPARATE COMPARTMENTS OR TANKS TO
ACCOMPLISH THE SEPARATION ). AFTER THE 3 HOURS OF PERFECTLY QUIESCENT
SETTLING PERIOD, THE CLEAR SUPERNATANT ( EFFLUENT ) IS DISCHARGED DURING
THE REMAINING HOUR, ( 5:00 A.M. TO 6:00 A.M. ). THE SYSTEM THEN RETURNS TO THE
J AERATION PROCESS AT 6 A.M. FOR THE NEXT 20 HOURS TO FURTHER DIGEST THE
RETAINED ORGANIC SOLIDS. THE MINI-PLANT HAS THREE MAIN SECTIONS; THE
CONTROL PANEL, THE MANWAY AND THE TANK, WITH ITS IN TANK COMPONENTS.
THE MINI-PLANT CONTROL PANEL IS MOUNTED IN AN OUTDOOR WEATHERPROOF
ENCLOSURE. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC BRAIN WHICH MONITORS AND CONTROLS ALL PLANT
FUNCTIONS. .THE PANEL HAS A VISUAL AND AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL TO SHOW NORMAL
L� OPERATIONS OR POSSIBLE MALFUNCTIONS. THERE ARE CIRCUIT BREAKERS, THERMOELECTRIC
PROTECTED MOTOR STARTING SWITCHES, RELAYS, AND LEVEL SENSORS TO MONITOR THE
PLANT, THE CONTROL PANEL ENCLOSURE IS APPROXIMATELY 18"H X 14" W X 6" D
AND THE POWER SUPPLY IS 230 VOLT, SINGLE PHASE, 60 HERTZ. THE COMPRESSOR
AND THE PUMP DO NOT OPERATE AT THE SAME TIME.

THE MINI-PLANT MANWAY IS MANUFACTURED FROM HEAVY FIBERGLASS
REINFORCED POLYESTER. IT PROTECTS AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR,
ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX AND THE MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS. INSIDE THE MANWAY,
AN ENERGY EFFICIENT RING TYPE AIR COMPRESSOR IS MOUNTED. THE LEVEL SENSORS
AND THE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP ARE ALSO WIRED TO THE JUNCTION BOX. THE INSTALLING
DEALER INTER CONNECTS THE JUNCTION BOX TO THE CONTROL PANEL , SEALS THE
MANWAY TO THE TANK AND PIPES THE DIFFUSERS AND MANIFOLD IN PLACE. THE
MANWAYS ARE AVAILABLE IN GREEN OR WHITE
THE AIR COMPRESSOR IS A REGENERATING ENERGY EFFICIENT RING TYPE THAT
CAN SUPPLY UP TO 52 CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER MINUTE TO THE DIFFUSERS. IT
�
OPERATES ON 230 VOLTS, 60 HZ. AND VARIES IN H.P.AND AMPERE DEPENDING ON SIZE
AND BOD 5 LOADING OF THE MINI-PLANT IT IS WIRED TO THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION
BOX AND PIPED TO THE AIR MANIFOLD AND DIFFUSERS.
L
THE TANK & ITS IN-TANK COMPONENTS: AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE
MANUFACTURE MINI-PLANT TREATMENT UNITS IN FIBERGLASS TANKS AND MINI-PLANT
CONVERSION UNITS FOR INSTALLATION ONTO LOCALLY MANUFACTURED CONCRETE
TANKS. THE MINI-PLANT KITS ARE MORE ECONOMICAL THAN THE FIBERGLASS TANK
UNITS BUT THE FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT MINI-PLANT COMES ASSEMBLED AND READY TO
BE INSTALLED. WE ALSO MANUFACTURE MANY SIZES OF MINI-PLANTS RANGING FROM L
500 G.P.D.TO A MAXIMUM DAILY TREATMENT CAPACITY OF 3,000 GALLONS (13,638 LITERS )
PER DAY.WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL TANKS BE SIZED AT A MINIM 1M OF TWICE THE
MAXIMUM DAILY DESIGN WASTEWATER FLOW. THE TANK CONTAINS THREE LIQUID I
LEVEL SENSORS ( LOW LEVEL PUMP SHUT OFF, HIGH LIQUID LEVEL ALARM AND AN
EMERGENCY PUMP-ON SWITCH. THE PUMP ON SWITCH TURNS THE PUMP ON DURING A
HIGH WATER LEVEL EMERGENCY THUS PREVENTING THE BLOWER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS FROM FLOODING ). SEVERAL HIGH DENSITY AIR DIFFUSERS AND ONE
INDUSTRIAL TYPE SUBMERSIBLE PUMP IS ALSO INSIDE THE TANK.
EFFLUENT DTSPOSAL, L
IN MOST CASES, EFFLUENT IS PUMPED TO AN ON-SITE FILTER BED OR
ABSORPTION TRENCH. IN SOME SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES, THE TREATED EFFLUENT Ll
CAN BE PUMPED TO PRESSURE OR VACUUM LINES FOR TRANSPORTING TO A COMMUNITY
DISPOSAL AREA. OCCASIONALLY, WHERE SUB SURFACE DISPOSAL IS NOT FEASIBLE,
SURFACE OR OFF-SITE DISPOSAL MAY BE CONSIDERED WITH DISINFECTION AFTER
FILTRATION. (LOCAL REGULATIONS GOVERN METHODS OF DISPOSAL.)
EFFLUENT QUALITY: THE MINI-PLANTS ( 54291.5-I10 TO 54291.15 ) HAVE
BEEN TESTED AND LISTED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION
INTERNATIONAL SINCE 1971. NSFI MEASURES THE MAJOR POLLUTANTS ( BOD5 AND
SS.) IN MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG./L). THE MINI-PLANT UNFILTERED EFFLUENT MEETS
OR EXCEEDS NSFI CLASS ONE STANDARD OF 30 MG./L BOD 5 AND 30 MG./L SS. THE
FILTERED EFFLUENT MEETS OR EXCEEDS NSFI CLASS I STANDARD OF 30 MG./L BOD5
& 30 MG./L SS. ACTUAL FIELD TESTS BY. NSFI SHOW THE MEDIAN OF UNFILTERED
EFFLUENT (CLASS 1 ) TO BE 7 MG. / L BOD5 & 11 MG./L SS. AND THE FILTERED
EFFLUENT (CLASS 1 ALSO) TO BE 5 MG./L. THE AEROBIC PROCESS GREATLY REDUCES
THE COLIFORM COUNT WHICH IS FURTHER REDUCED BY FILTRATION. TO ACHIEVE A
GREATER REDUCTION, AS REQUIRED FOR SURFACE DISCHARGE DISPOSAL, THE USE OF
A DISINFECTANT IS NECESSARY. �J

THE MINI-PLANT IN A FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT HAS THE CAPACITY TO TREAT UP
TO 3,000 GALLONS. (13,638 LITERS) PER DAY. ( THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION
INTERNATIONAL, N.S.F.I. UNDER STANDARD # 40 ONLY LIST UNITS SIZED UP ( TO 1,500 G.P.D.).
THE FIBERGLASS TANK MINI-PLANT COMES COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED IN OUR OWN CUSTOM
`i MANUFACTURED TANK. ALL MINI-PLANT TANKS ARE SIZED TO HOLD TWO TIMES THE DAILY
WASTEWATER FLOW,THUS PROVIDING 100% OR MORE OVERLOAD CAPACITY GIVING THR MINT_
PLANT THE. ABTUTY TO HANDLE THE.OCCASIONAL ST40C C T O TY
\} SYSTEM OPERATION: THE MINI-PLANT FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT OPERATES
' ON A FILL AND DRAW OR BATCH TREATMENT PROCESS (SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR),
USING FINELY BUBBLED DIFFUSED AIR FOR THE BIOLOGICAL PROCESS. WASTEWATER
ENTERING IS ACCUMULATED AND TREATED FOR A PERIOD OF 20 HOURS, (FROM 6:00 A.M.
TO 2:00 A.M.), DURING WHICH TIME IT IS AERATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTROL SYSTEM
IS PROGRAMMED TO SHUT OFF THE AERATION AT 2 A.M. AND A THREE HOUR PERIOD
OF PERFECTLY QUIESCENT SETTLING FOLLOWS, (FROM 2:00 AM. AND 5:00 AM.). AFTER THE
-J 3 HOUR SETTLING PERIOD, THE SUPERNATANT, OR CLEAR EFFLUENT, IS PUMPED OUT OF
THE TREATMENT CHAMBER , (FROM 5:00 AM. AND 6:00 AM.). AND THE SETTLED SOLIDS
ARE RETAINED IN THE TREATMENT TANK FOR CONTINUED DIGESTION.
-� THE F54291-5 THROUGH 30 : MINI-PLANTS IN FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT ARE
ONLY 4' DEEP, (NOT INCLUDING THE HEIGHT OF THE MANWAY), AND 6' 6" WIDE. ONE OF THE
KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE FIBERGLASS MODELS IS THAT IT COMES COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED
AND WIRED SO THAT THE SERVICING DEALER HAS ONLY TO CONNECT THE CONTROL PANEL TO
THE MINI-PLANT. THE ENTIRE OPERATION OF THE MINI-PLANT IS AUTOMATIC AND CAN BE
PROGRAMMED FOR THE SPECIFIC HYDRAULIC FLOW PATTERN OF EACH INDIVIDUAL HOME.
BECAUSE THE MINI-PLANT EFFLUENT IS PUMPED OUT ON A DAILY BASIS, AS PART OF THE
SYSTEMS PROGRAM, THE MINI-PLANT CAN BE USED AS A LIFT STATION, AS WELL AS, A
SECONDARY WASTEWATER TREATMENT UNIT.
THE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE: 230 VOLTS, SINGLE PHASE, 60 HZ.
THE TOTAL DAILY ENERGY REQUIREMENT FOR THE MINI-PLANT MODEL # 54291.6
i IS 6.5 KW HOURS.

MINI-PLANT AND MODEL # 3,000 FILTER
?- IN KIT FORM OR IN FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT
NSFI CLASS 1 - AQUAROBIC'S CLASS 1A
THE MINI-PLANT AND FILTER UNIT IS A COMBINATION OF THE BASIC MINI-
PLANT AND AN UP-FLOW FILTER INSTALLED IN OUR OWN DESIGNED CUSTOM BUILT
FIBERGLASS TANK OR AS A "CONCRETE ADAPTION MODULE" FOR INSTALLATION ONTO
E LOCALLY BUILT CONCRETE TANKS. WHEN COMPLETELY INSTALLED IN ONE OF OUR
OWN FIBERGLASS TANKS, THE MINI-PLANT IS SEPARATED FROM THE UP-FLOW FILTER
BY A DOUBLE SET OF FIBERGLASS PARTITIONS .
SYSTEM OPERATION: THE MINI-PLANT AND MODEL #3,000 FILTER UNIT
IS A MINIATURE ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH
TERTIARY TREATMENT. THE MINI-PLANT OPERATES ON A FILL AND DRAW OR BATCH
TREATMENT PROCESS USING FINELY BUBBLED DIFFUSED AIR. WASTEWATER ENTERING

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 1M-1088-B
-.. NITRIFICATION AND DENITRIFICATION OF DOMESTIC WASTEWATER CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED USING THE AQUAROBIC BIOLOGICAL AEROBIC/ANAEROBIC
TREATMENT SYSTEM.
THE PRESENCE OF RELATIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF NITROGEN IN
THE FORM OF AMMONIA, ORGANIC NITROGEN AND NITRATES IN GROUND WATER
SURFACE WATER, AND IN DRINKING WATER HAS CAUSED A VARIETY OF
�- ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS RESULTING IN EUTROPHICATION OF LAKES, FISH
KILLS AND INFANT CYANOSIS. MUNICIPAL AND HOUSEHOLD WASTES AND FARM
FERTILIZER RUNOFF ARE THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS OF NITROGEN TO THE RECEIVING
WATERS. APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE NITROGEN IN RAW MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER IS IN THE
J ) FORM OF AMMONIA AND IN UREA FROM WHICH AMMONIA IS READILY DERIVED. THE
NITROGEN CONTENT IN HUMAN WASTE IS APPROXIMATELY 11 POUNDS PER YEAR
PER CAPITA.
PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE, A SEPTIC TANK CAN REMOVE LP TO 10% OF
WASTEWATER NITROGEN BY STORING THE ORGANIC NITROGEN COMPOUNDS IN THE SLUDGE
WITH THE REMAINDER BEING DISCHARGED INTO THE ABSORPTION FIELD. UNDER WARM
AEROBIC SOIL CONDITIONS, SOME NITRIFICATION CAN TAKE PLACE, THUS PRODUCING
NITRATE, WHICH WILL THEN LEACH INTO THE GROUNDWATER. MORE COMMONLY, HOWEVER,
AMMONIA SIMPLY ATTACHES TO THE SOIL PARTICLES OR ENTERS THE GROUNDWATER
SYSTEM UNTREATED.
THE PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS IN
WASTEWATER MAY EASIEST BE DESCRIBED AS TWO SEPARATE BIOLOGICAL REACTIONS,
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FREQUENTLY INTERRELATED:
THE FIRST STEP IS DESIGNED TO CONVERT AMMONIA NITROGEN AND ORGANIC
}} ` NITROGEN INTO NITRATE NITROGEN. THIS PROCESS (NITRIFICATION) IS A RESULT OF CERTAIN
BACTERIA'S ABILITY TO OXIDIZE AMMONIA TO NITRATE NITROGEN. THESE BACTERIA
(NITROSOMONAS AND NITROBACTER)REQUIRE AEROBIC CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO PROCREATE.
THE AQUAROBIC AEROBIC MODULAR PLANTS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN
SUPPORTING BIOLOGICAL NITRIFICATION RESULTING IN AN 85-95% CONVERSION TO NITRATE.
THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE IDEAL CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE PLANT'S AERATION
CHAMBER,I.E.HIGH DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION AND LONG RETENTION TIME.
i
DURING A SIX MONTH TEST PERIOD CONDUCTED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION
FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL ( NSFI ), THE DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION IN THE
AERATION CHAMBER RANGED FROM 2.0 TO 8.8 MOIL WITH A MEDIAN OF 3.1 MG/L.
' l
IN THE SECOND PROCESS STEP, DENITRIFICATION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE
USE OF ANOTHER GROUP OF BACTERIA (PSUEDOMONAS, MICROCOCCUS, ARCHROMABACTER
AND BACILLUS). THESE BACTERIA REQUIRE ANOXIC CONDITIONS (NO OXYGEN) DURING WHICH
THEY UTILIZE THE NITRATE NITROGEN AS AN OXYGEN SOURCE, THUS REVERTING THE NITRATE
NITROGEN TO GASEOUS NITROGEN,WHICH THEN ESCAPES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
27

THE RATE OF DENITRIFICATION IS MINIMIZED IN THE PRESENCE OF
OXYGEN.DENITRIFICATION CAN OCCUR AT DIMINISHED RATES IF ANOXIC CONDITIONS HAVE
PREVIOUSLY EXISTED DURING WHICH ENZYME SYNTHESIS MAY OCCUR, IT IS, HOWEVER, iL 9
GENERALLY AGREED THAT THE LEVEL OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN SHOULD APPROACH ZERO IN
ORDER TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENTLY GOOD PERFORMANCE.
SINCE IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT THE TWO BACTERIA GROUPS CAN IN FACT, LIVE
i
TOGETHER, IT THEN BECOMES A MATTER OF PROPER TIMING OF BLOWER CYCLES AND
CONTROL OF SLUDGE PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
STEP #1 - THE WASTEWATER IS CONTAINED IN THE AERATION COMPARTMENT FOR
CONVERSION OF THE AMMONIA AND ORGANIC NITROGEN COMPOUNDS TO NITRATE NITROGEN.
OXYGEN IS SUPPLIED BY AN AIR BLOWER THROUGH FINE BUBBLE DIFFUSERS. THE INFLUENT IS
EXPOSED TO AIR (OXIDIZED) FOR A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS DURING WHICH CONVERSION OF THE 111
NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS OCCURS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE REDUCTION OF BOD5 AND
SUSPENDED SOLIDS.
STEP #2 -AFTER A 3 HOUR SETTLING PERIOD WITHOUT AERATION, ANOXIC CONDITIONS
TAKE EFFECT. THE SUPERNATANT IS THEN PUMPED THROUGH ONE OR MORE UP-FLOW FILTER
CHAMBERS WHERE THE DENITRIFICATION PROCESS ACTUALLY BEGINS. THE TRANSFER IS
NORMALLY COMPLETED WITHIN ONE HOUR. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE INFLUENT FROM THE
FILTER COMPARTMENT FLOWS BY GRAVITY TO THE AEROBIC COMPARTMENT. UPON
COMPLETION OF THE PUMPING CYCLE, BOD AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO -
LESS THAN 5 MG/L (A 98% REDUCTION) THUS MEETING THE "CLASS 1" INFLUENT LIMITATIONS
ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL. -
STEP #3 - AFTER TRANSFER TO THE HOLDING COMPARTMENT WHERE ANAEROBIC
CONDITIONS PREVAIL, THE INFLUENT IS RETAINED FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME
PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. DURING THIS PERIOD NITRATE NITROGEN IS RESPIRATED INTO NITROGEN
GAS BY THE ANAEROBIC BACTERIA. IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF CARBON
FOR THE BACTERIA TO FEED ON, A PUMP WILL PERIODICALLY TRANSFER A CONTROLLED
AMOUNT OF CARBONIZED MATTER INTO THE ANOXIC HOLDING COMPARTMENT. TO FURTHER
AUGMENT THE FOOD SUPPLY, METHANOL OR A SIMILAR CARBON SOURCE MAY BE ADDED IF

NITRATE NITROGEN (NO -N) REMOVAL STUDY
THE CONCENTRATION OF NO -N IN THE FILTERED INFLUENT AS EXAMINED BY NSFI,
DURING THE EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION TESTS AVERAGED 7.01 MG/L OF NO -N. THIS
CONCENTRATION IS BELOW STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE US AND PROVINCES FOR NO -N
PRIOR TO DISCHARGE TO A LOT AREA OR A RECEIVING STREAM.
SEVERAL UNITS WITH UP-FLOW FILTERS LOCATED IN MERCER COUNTY, NEW JERSEY,
HAVE ALSO BEEN SAMPLED FOR NO N CONCENTRATIONS IN THE INFLUENT. THE RESULTS
AVERAGED 7 MG/L NITRATE NITROGEN, THUS CLOSELY MATCHING THE NSFI. TEST RESULTS.
THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL PRODUCE A DENITRIFIED INFLUENT J
CAPABLE OF MEETING PRESENT GROUNDWATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS IN CRITICAL AREAS �J
SUCH AS THE NEW JERSEY PINELANDS, PRIOR TO THE DISPOSAL AND DILUTION OF THE

1 CONCLUSION
i
PRESENT GROUNDWATER QUALITY LIMITS FOR NO -N CAN BE MET USING A BASIC
AQUAROBIC ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.FURTHER SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE ADDITION OF A SUPPLEMENTAL CARBON SOURCE SUCH AS
UNOXIDIZED BOD5 OR METHANOL TO THE ANAEROBIC REACTION CHAMBER.
jTHE AQUAROBIC SYSTEM WILL, ASSI IILATE CONSIDERABLE VARIATIONS IN FLOW AND
STRENGTH DUE TO OVERSIZED TANK VOLUMES, LOW FILTER LOADING AND CONSERVATIVE
BLOWER DESIGN. MOST CONVENTIONAL GRAVITY THRU-FLOW TREATMENT PLANTS DEMAND
� ) CLOSE OPERATOR ATTENTION AND REQUIRE ELABORATE LABORATORY FACILITIES FOR
CONTINUED MONITORING OF INFLUENT AND EFFLUENT VARIABLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EPA
DIRECTIVES. IN CONTRAST, THE AQUAROBIC SYSTEM REQUIRES LMTED DAILY ATTENTION
AND MINIMAL TESTING.

GALLONS PER DAY ( G.P.D. ) THE DEGREE OF TREATMENT OF DOMESTIC WASTEWATER
` IS EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN A WELL MANAGED MUNICIPAL; PLANT, IS VIRTUALLY
NOISELESS, WITH NO OFFENSIVE ODOR.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "MM" (CLASS 1 ) SERIES AND THE BASIC "M"
MULTI-BATCH PROCESS IS THAT THE "MM" SERIES HAS AN ADDITIONAL UP-FLOW
( p FILTER DISINFECTION UNIT WITH ADDITIONAL COMPARTMENTS FOR OTHER TREATMENT
1 )I PROCESSES.
THE AQUAROBIC SEQUENTIAL BATCH PROCESS: IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE
OPTIMUM CLARITY OF THE TREATED EFFLUENT,THE SYSTEM WORKS ON A PERIODIC FILL

SEWAGE ENTERS THE AERATION CHAMBER. THIS CHAMBER IS SIZED TO HOLD THE
DAILY WASTEWATER FLOW PLUS 30% SAFETY MARGIN, BUT THE SYSTEM ONLY
I. PROCESSES ONE BATCH EVERY 4 HOURS, OR 1/6 OF THE DAILY WASTEWATER FLOW
THIS GIVES THE MAXI-PLANT THE ABILITY TO HANDLE THE OCCASIONAL SHOCK LOAD
WITHOUT ANY DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE EFFLUENT QUALITY.
THE AERATION CHAMBER HAS A .100% CAPACITY OF THE CALCULATED. DAILY

AQUAROBIC MAXI-PLANT USES A SEPARATE COMPARTMENT TO SEPARATE THE SOLIDS
FROM THE CLEAR SUPERNATANT, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE ALSO USE TIME TO
ACCOMPLISH THE SEPARATION.

SYSTEM OPERATION: EVERY 4 HOURS, THE TRANSFER PUMP ( TP-1 ) PUMPS
FROM THE AERATION CHAMBER FILLING THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER WITH MIXED LIQUOR
UNTIL IT REACHES THE WEIR AND OVERFLOWS BACK TO THE AERATION CHAMBER,
THUS SKIMMING OFF FLOATABLES FOR FURTHER TREATMENT. A 3 HOUR PERFECTLY
QUIESCENT PERIOD FOLLOWS. (NOTE THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THERE IS NO
MOVEMENT IN THE CLARIFIER.) AFTER THE SETTLING PERIOD, THE EFFLUENT PUMP ( TP-
2) WHICH IS SUSPENDED IN THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER, STARTS AND TRANSFERS THE
CLEAR SUPERNATANT OUT TO THE DISPOSAL FIELD, LEAVING 1/3 OF THE VOLUME FOR THE
SLUDGE RETURN PUMP. WHEN THE LIQUID REACHES A PREDETERMINED LEVEL, A FLOAT
SWITCH STOPS THE EFFLUENT PUMP ( TP-2 ) AND STARTS THE SLUDGE RETURN PUMP
(TP-3 )TRANSFERRING THE REMAINING SETTLED SLUDGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE
AERATION CHAMBER FOR ADDITIONAL BIOLOGICAL DIGESTION. IMMEDIATELY
THEREAFTER, ANOTHER 4 HOUR CYCLE IS INITIATED FOR A TOTAL OF 6 CYCLES PER
DAY.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE SEQUENCING BATCH PROCESS
IS NOT AFFECTED BY FLOW VARIATIONS. THE WASTEWATER IS RETAINED IN THE
LARGE AERATION CHAMBER AND ONLY A PREDETERMINED VOLUME IS
TRANSFERRED TO THE CLARIFIER CHAMBER EVERY FOUR HOURS.
DURING SEASONAL PERIODS OF LOW FLOW, A LOW LEVEL FLOAT SWITCH L
PREVENTS TRANSFER PUMP(S) (TP-1 )FROM STARTING, THUS ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO
SKIP ONE OR SEVERAL 4 HOUR CYCLES. ALSO THE AIR COMPRESSORS ARE l
PROGRAMMED TO OPERATE AT INTERMITTENT TIME CYCLES. _}
THE AQUAROBIC BATCH PROCESS HAS BEEN TESTED BY THE NATIONAL r
SANITATION FOUNDATION, AND WAS FOUND TO BE VERY EFFICIENT, RESULTING IN A 89%
REDUCTION IN BOD5 AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS (SS).
(TEST RESULTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.)
IN ADDITION TO THE GENEROUS SIZING OF THE AIR COMPRESSORS, WE CAN, DURING
EXCESSIVE PEAK CONDITIONS, INCREASE THE DISCHARGE CYCLES FROM 6 PER 24 HOURS
TO 8 PER 24 HOURS, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE PLANT'S OUTPUT WITHOUT REDUCING
THE CLARITY OF THE PLANT'S EFFLUENT APPRECIATIVE. -
TANK DESIGN: THE LENGTH TO WIDTH RATIO OF THE AERATION CHAMBER AND
WITH AIR DIFFUSERS BEING SPACED EVENLY ACROSS THE AERATION CHAMBER CREATES
A SERIES OF AIR CURTAINS WHICH MAKES IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY SHORT
CIRCUIT TO TAKE PLACE. (SEE DRAWING) FIELD INSTALLED CONCRETE TANKS ARE FOR
THE OWNERS ACCOUNT AND THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY. 1 j
GUIDING DIMENSION DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE FURNISHED BY US. OUR lJ
STANDARD CONCRETE TANK PLANTS ARE DESIGNED FOR IN GROUND INSTALLATION WITH
THE TANK COVER BURIED ABOUT 12" ( 30 CM ) BELOW GRADE. ONLY THE FIBERGLASS
ACCESS MANWAYS ARE VISIBLE.
WET WELL: UNLESS THE PLANT IS CONNECTED TO A FORCE MAIN LEADING FROM
A REMOTE PUMPING STATION OR FROM A PRESSURE SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM, THE !'
GRAVITY INFLUENT LINE IS USUALLY LOCATED TOO DEEP TO ENTER THE AERATION TANK
ABOVE MAXIMUM WATER LEVEL.A SMALL COMPARTMENT ( WET WELL ) MUST BE ADDED

r , TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 1M-1088-B
NITRIFICATION AND DENITRIFICATION OF DOMESTIC WASTEWATER CAN BE
' ACCOMPLISHED USING THE AQUAROBIC BIOLOGICAL AEROBIC/ANAEROBIC
TREATMENT SYSTEM.
THE PRESENCE OF RELATIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF NITROGEN IN
THE FORM OF AMMONIA, ORGANIC NITROGEN AND NITRATES IN GROUND WATER,
SURFACEWATER AND IN DRINKING WATER HAS CAUSED A VARIETY OF
q ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS RESULTING IN EUTROPHICATION OF LAKES, FISH
i KILLS AND INFANT CYANOSIS. MUNICIPAL AND HOUSEHOLD WASTES AND FARM
l FERTILIZER RUNOFF ARE THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS OF NITROGEN To THE RECEIVING
WATERS. APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE NITROGEN IN RAW MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER IS IN THE
FORM OF AMMONIA AND IN UREA FROM WHICH AMMONIA IS READILY DERIVED. THE
NITROGEN CONTENT IN HUMAN WASTE IS APPROXIMATELY 11 POUNDS PER YEAR
PER CAPITA.
PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE,A SEPTIC TANK CAN REMOVE UP TO 10% OF
J WASTEWATER NITROGEN BY STORING THE ORGANIC NITROGEN COMPOUNDS IN THE SLUDGE
WITH THE REMAINDER BEING DISCHARGED INTO THE ABSORPTION FIELD. UNDER WARM
` J AEROBIC SOIL, CONDITIONS, SOME NITRIFICATION CAN TAKE PLACE THUS PRODUCING
NITRATE, WHICH WILL THEN LEACH INTO THE GROUNDWATER. MORE COMMONLY, HOWEVER,
AMMONIA SIMPLY ATTACHES TO THE SOIL PARTICLES OR ENTERS THE GROUNDWATER
SYSTEM UNTREATED.
THE PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS IN
WASTEWATER MAY EASIEST BE DESCRIBED AS TWO SEPARATE BIOLOGICAL REACTIONS,
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FREQUENTLY INTERRELATED:
THE FIRST STEP IS DESIGNED TO CONVERT AMMONIA NITROGEN AND ORGANIC
NITROGEN INTO NITRATE NITROGEN. THIS PROCESS (NITRIFICATION) IS A RESULT OF CERTAIN
BACTERIA'S ABILITY TO OXIDIZE AMMONIA TO NITRATE NITROGEN. THESE BACTERIA
(NITROSOMONAS AND NITROBACTER)REQUIRE AEROBIC CONDITIONS IN ORDER TO PROCREATE.
THE AQUAROBIC AEROBIC MODULAR PLANTS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN
I SUPPORTING BIOLOGICAL NITRIFICATION RESULTING IN AN 85-95% CONVERSION TO NITRATE.
`" THIS IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE IDEAL CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE PLANT'S AERATION
CHAMBER,I.E.HIGH DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION AND LONG RETENTION TIME.
DURING A SIX MONTH TEST PERIOD CONDUCTED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION
FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL (NSFi), THE DISSOLVED OXYGEN CONCENTRATION IN THE
AERATION CHAMBER RANGED FROM 2.0 TO 8.8 MG/L WITH A MEDIAN OF 3.1 MG/L.
IN THE SECOND PROCESS STEP, DENITRIFICATION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE
USE OF ANOTHER GROUP OF BACTERIA (PSUEDOMONAS, MICROCOCCUS, ARCHROMA13ACTER
AND BACILLUS). THESE BACTERIA REQUIRE ANOXIC CONDITIONS (NO OXYGEN) DURING WHICH
[-- THEY UTILIZE THE NITRATE NITROGEN AS AN OXYGEN SOURCE, THUS REVERTING THE NITRATE
f l NITROGEN TO GASEOUS NITROGEN,WHICH THEN ESCAPES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
r
43
I

THE RATE OF DENITRIFICATION IS MINIMIZED IN THE PRESENCE OF
OXYGEN.DENTTRIFICATION CAN OCCUR AT DIMINISHED RATES IF ANOXIC CONDITIONS HAVE
PREVIOUSLY EXISTED DURING WHICH ENZYME SYNTHESIS MAY OCCUR. IT IS, HOWEVER,
GENERALLY AGREED THAT THE LEVEL OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN SHOULD APPROACH ZERO IN
ORDER TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENTLY GOOD PERFORMANCE.
SINCE IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT THE TWO BACTERIA GROUPS CAN IN FACT LIVE
TOGETHER, IT THEN BECOMES A MATTER OF PROPER TIMING OF BLOWER CYCLES AND
CONTROL OF SLUDGE PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
STEP #1 - THE WASTEWATER IS CONTAINED IN THE AERATION COMPARTMENT FOR
CONVERSION OF THE AMMONIA AND ORGANIC NITROGEN COMPOUNDS TO NITRATE NITROGEN.
OXYGEN IS SUPPLIED BY AN AIR BLOWER THROUGH FINE BUBBLE DIFFUSERS. THE INFLUENT IS
EXPOSED TO AIR (OXIDIZED) FOR A TOTAL OF 20 HOURS DURING WHICH CONVERSION OF THE
NITROGENOUS COMPOUNDS OCCURS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE REDUCTION OF BOD5 AND
SUSPENDED SOLIDS. �.
STEP #2 -AFTER A 3 HOUR SETTLING PERIOD WITHOUT AERATION, ANOXIC CONDITIONS
TAKE EFFECT. THE SUPERNATENT IS THEN PUMPED THROUGH ONE OR MORE UPFLOW FILTER
CHAMBERS WHERE THE DENITRIFICATION PROCESS ACTUALLY BEGINS. THE TRANSFER IS
NORMALLY COMPLETED WITHIN ONE HOUR. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE INFLUENT FROM THE C i;
FILTER COMPARTMENT FLOWS BY GRAVITY TO THE AEROBIC COMPARTMENT. UPON
COMPLETION OF THE PUMPING CYCLE,BOD5 AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO
LESS THAN 5 MG/L (A 98% REDUCTION) THUS MEETING THE "CLASS I" INFLUENT LIMITATIONS
ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL. --
STEP #3 - AFTER TRANSFER TO THE HOLDING COMPARTMENT WHERE ANAEROBIC
CONDITIONS PREVAIL, THE INFLUENT IS RETAINED FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME
PRIOR TO DISCHARGE. DURING THIS PERIOD NITRATE NITROGEN IS RESPIRATED INTO NITROGEN
GAS BY THE ANAEROBIC BACTERIA. IN ORDER TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF CARBON
FOR THE BACTERIA TO FEED ON; A PUMP WILL PERIODICALLY TRANSFER A CONTROLLED
AMOUNT OF CARBONIZED MATTER INTO THE ANOXIC HOLDING COMPARTMENT. TO FURTHER
AUGMENT THE FOOD SUPPLY, METHANOL OR A SIMILAR CARBON SOURCE MAY BE ADDED IF j
NEEDED. THE INFLUENT IS THEN DISCHARGED INTO A WASTEWATER DISPOSAL FIELD OR L
DISINFECTED PRIOR TO ENTERING A RECEIVING'STREAM,LAKE OR OCEAN OUTFALL.
{
NITRATE NITROGEN (NO -N) REMOVAL STUDY Ll
THE CONCENTRATION OF NO -N IN THE FILTERED INFLUENT AS EXAMINED BY N.S.F.I. �
DURING THE EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION TESTS AVERAGED 7.01 MG/L OF NO -N. THIS ---+++
CONCENTRATION IS BELOW STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S.AND PROVINCES FOR NO -N
PRIOR TO DISCHARGE TO A LOT AREA OR A RECEIVING STREAM. i ]
SEVERAL UNITS WITH UPFLOW FILTERS LOCATED IN MERCER COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, (�
HAVE ALSO BEEN SAMPLED FOR NO -N CONCENTRATIONS IN THE INFLUENT. THE RESULTS
AVERAGED 7 MG/L NITRATE NITROGEN, THUS CLOSELY MATCHING THE N.S.F.I. TEST RESULTS.
THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL PRODUCE A DENITRIFIED INFLUENT
CAPABLE OF MEETING PRESENT GROUNDWATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS IN CRITICAL AREAS
SUCH AS THE NEW JERSEY PINEL-A-NDS,PR-OR-TO TIE-DISPUSAX AN DILUTION OF THE
WASTEWATER. [ J
44

I
l CONCLUSION
PRESENT GROUNDWATER QUALITY LIMITS FOR NO N CAN BE MET USING A BASIC
--� AQUAROBIC ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.FURTHER SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE ADDITION OF A SUPPLEMENTAL CARBON SOURCE SUCH AS
UNOXIDIZED BOD5 OR METHANOL TO THE ANAEROBIC REACTION CHAMBER.
THE AQUAROBIC SYSTEM WILL ASSIMILATE CONSIDERABLE VARIATIONS IN FLOW AND
STRENGTH DUE TO OVERSIZED TANK VOLUMES, LOW FILTER LOADING AND CONSERVAT
IVE
BLOWER DESIGN. MOST CONVENTIONAL GRAVITY THRU-FLOW TREATMENT PLANTS DEMAND
CLOSE OPERATOR ATTENTION AND REQUIRE ELABORATE LABORATORY FACILITIES FOR
CONTINUED MONITORING OF INFLUENT AND EFFLUENT VARIABLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EPA
DIRECTIVES. IN CONTRAST, THE AQUAROBIC SYSTEM REQUIRES LIMITED DAILY ATTENTION
--� AND MINIMAL TESTING.

CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE RT of u TANKS
THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD. DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED
AS A DESIGN GUIDE FOR USE BY ASSOCIATED ARCHITECTS / ENGINEERS AND IS
BASED ON CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES OBSERVED IN THE CARIBBEAN. AQUAROBIC
l INTERNATIONAL INC. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
J OF THE TANK.
1. A 6" TO 8" THICK BID OF 3/4"SIZE GRAVEL IS PLACED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
` EXCAVATION AND LEVELED CAREFULLY. A PIT IS LEFT AT A CONVENIENT
CORNER AND EQUIPPED WITH A SUMP PUMP, LEAVING THE HOLE DRAINED
AND WORKABLE.
1 2. A FORM FOR THE BASE SLAB IS PLACED ON THE ROCK BED, ALLOWING A
6'EXTENSION BEYOND THE BLOCK WALL.
i
3. 1/2"REBARS ARE PLACED ON SADDLES 2"ABOVE THE ROCKS ON 16" CENTERS
(LENGTH OF A CONCRETE BLOCK).
4. 6"X 6"WIRE MESH IS PLACED 3"ABOVE THE REBARS,WHICH WITH 3"TO THE
SURFACE OF THE SLAB PROVIDES FOR AN 8" THI CK SLAB. WHERE THE
CENTER OF THE BLOCK WALLS ARE TO BE LOCATED,THE REBARS SHOULD
BE BENT UP VERTICALLY ABOUT 4' LONG.
5. AFTER THE SLAB HAS CURED,THE 8"CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS ARE STARTED.
THE BLOCKS HAVE TWO HOLES AND ARE STAGGERED. AFTER EACH ROW IS
LAID, THE VOID SPACES ARE FILLED WITH CONCRETE WHICH IS MDCED ON
SITE. AS THE WALL GOES UP,SECTIONS OF REBARS ARE ADDED AND WELDED
OR WIRED TO THE VERTICAL BARS. FULL HEIGHT VERTICAL BARS MAY BE
USED, HOWEVER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO LIFT THE BLOCKS OVER THE BARS,
ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING.
j I 6. FOR EVERY 2 OR 3 LAYERS OF BLOCKS, A ROW OF NOTCHED BLOCKS ARE
LAID, WHICH ALLOWS FOR A HORIZONTAL REBARS TO BE SECURED TO THE
VERTICAL RISERS.IN TANKS WITH INTERNAL PARTITIONS, NOTCHED BLOCKS
ARE SIMILARLY USED AND TIED INTO THE OUTER WALLS. VERTICAL SPACING
IS ARRANGED SO THAT THE TOP ROW OF BLOCKS ARE NOTCHED.
7. INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WALLS ARE PARGED WITH A CEMENT AND SAND MIX
L1 FOR WATER PROOFING. WHEN THE BLOCKS ARE LAID,THE SEAMS ARE NOT
1 SMOOTHED,AND SPACING APPEARS TO BE ABOUT 3/4". THE APPEARANCE IS
ACTUALLY QUITE SLOPPY, HOWEVER,IT DOES PROVIDE FOR BETTER BONDING
OF THE CEMENT AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT LOOKS
SMOOTH AND COULD PASS FOR A POURED CONCRETE TANK.
S3

� 1
( 1
8. A 2"X 6" BOARD IS NAILED HORIZONTALLY TO THE TOP ROW OF THE
BLOCKS ABOUT 2"FROM THE TOP.2"X 6'BOARDS ARE LAID ACROSS THE
TANK ON TOP OF THE STRINGERS ALLOWING FOR A PLYWOOD STRIP
TO BE INSERTED BETWEEN THE BLOCK WALL AND THE END OF THE 2"X 6"
BOARDS.
ADDITIONAL 2"X 6"S ARE STRUNG LENGTHWISE AND SUPPORTED BY
VERTICAL 4"X 4"POSTS AND SHIMS. 3/4" PLYWOOD IS PLACED ON THE
SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND 1/2" REBARS PLACED ON 12"CENTERS ON
SADDLES 2"ABOVE THE PLYWOOD.
PLYWOOD SECTIONS ARE NAILED TO THE OUTER WALL AND BRACED TO
A HEIGHT WHICH, WHEN THE CONCRETE IS POURED AND LEVELED,
WILL PROVIDE FOR A 6'THICK SLAB.THE TOP 12"OF THE VERTICAL
REBARS ARE BENT HORIZONTALLY AND SECURED TO THE HORIZONTAL
BARS.
NOTE THAT THIS ARRANGEMENT PROVIDES FOR A POURED SOLID
CAP BETWEEN THE WALLS AND THE ROOF.BOX OUTS FOR MANWAYS �
AND DROP PIPES ARE NATURALLY PLACED BEFORE POURING THE SLAB.
9. STANDARD SIZE MANWAY OPENINGS ARE: 24"X 24" or 48"x 48". EVEN
THOUGH IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ENTER THE TANK THROUGH THE )
EQUIPMENT MANWAY,IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PROVIDE ONE EXTRA
MANWAY OPENING FOR ACCESS.THIS OPENING IS NORMALLY COVERED r
BY A STANDARD CONCRETE PLUG AND BURIED. HOWEVER,AN EXTRA
MANWAY CAN BE PROVIDED WHERE A PERMANENT INSPECTION AND
SERVICE ENTRANCE IS DESIRED. r-

FILTER BED NOTES:
I ,
1. AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL INC. RAISED FILTER BED DISPOSAL SYSTEM USES
AN APPLICATION RATE TO THE TOP OF THE FILTER BED OF 4 GAL./SQ.FT. /DAY.
FOR RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS WITH FLOWS OF UP TO 1,500 G.P.D. COMMERCIAL
OR INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS OF ANY SIZE OR RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS IN EXCESS
OF 1,500 G.P.D. USES A FILTER LOADING RATE OF 2.5 GAL./SQ.FT./ DAY. THE
DISTRIBUTION GRID ( 4" PERFORATE. PIPE ) IS TO BE PLACED LEVEL, ON 15" INCH
CENTERS IN 12" INCHES OF WASHED 3/4" INCH STONE ( SEE DRAWING )
f 2. THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF ANY FILTER BED TOP IS 600 SQ. FT. IF A LARGER
AREA IS NEEDED, THEN MULTIPLE BEDS MUST BE USED, SEPARATED BY A
MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 15' FT. USING A COMMON CONTACT AND MANTLE AREA.
` f 3. THE FILTER SAND MEDIUM MUST BE APPROVED FILTER SAND BY THE STATE OF
4 VIRGINIA, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND HAVE A MINIMUM OF 30" INCH DEPTH.
4. THE CONTACT AND MANTLE AREA IS TO BE CUT INTO ORIGINAL SOIL
("A" HORIZON ) TO A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 6" INCHES ( LEVEL ), AND BACK
FILLED WITH 12" INCHES OF A SANDY MATERIAL LIKE #2 TORPEDO SAND, (FA1 ->
FA8). IF THE HIGH GROUND WATER TABLE IS LESS THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE
I BOTTOM OF THE FILTER BED, ADDITIONAL TORPEDO SAND MATERIAL MUST BE
USED TO INCREASE THE ISOLATION DISTANCE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE
I 30" INCHES OF FILTER SAND.
5. THE CONTACT AND MANTLE AREA IS SIZED BY THE FORMULA: A=QT/25.
A = CONTACT AND MANTLE AREA.
Q = QUANTITY OF WASTEWATER PER DAY.
T = THE PERCOLATION TIME OF THE ORIGINAL SOIL IN MINUTES / INCH
( OF THE "A" HORIZON ). FOR PERCOLATION RATES ABOVE 120 MIN./INCH,
THE MANTLE IS TO BE SIZED AT 0.10 GALLONS PER SQUARE FOOT PER DAY.
L
J 66

i_
i
6. AS A MINIMUM, THE MANTLE SHALL BE AT LEAST AS WIDE AS TO
EQUAL THE FOOTPRINT OF THE FILTER BED MATERIAL AND EXTENDING
FOR A MINIMUM OF 50' FEET FROM THE OUTER DISTRIBUTION PIPES IN THE
DIRECTION OF FLOW. OTHER SEPARATION DISTANCES (eg. WELL, PROPERTY
LINE, BUILDINGS, ETC. ) SHALL BE MEASURED FROM THE TOE OF THE L i
FILTER BED. ( SEE DRAWING )
l'
7. THE PLACEMENT OF SOD OVER THE FILTER BED(S) IS A REQUIRED PART OF
THE AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL INC. FILTER BED SYSTEM. 1
�4
8. THE MINI-PLANT TANK SIZE SHALL BE AT LEAST 3 TIMES THE DAILY 414
WASTEWATER FLOW FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. ( INCLUDING THE USE OF
GARBAGE DISPOSAL). COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS SHALL HAVE
A MINIMUM TANK SIZE OF 4 TIMES. ( MULTIPLE TANKS MAY BE USED TO
ACHIEVE THE VOLUME ). '
9. THE CONCEPT HEREIN DISCLOSED IS PROPRIETARY WITH AQUAROBIC —

THE WATER LINE TO THE SANITARY FIXTURE ONLY, NOT INCLUDING OUTSIDE FAUCETS,
WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT WATER SAVING FIXTURES BE USED.
16. AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL DOES NOT WANT TO CREATE THE FALSE IMPRESSION g
THAT AN ACCEPTABLE SEWAGE SYSTEM CAN BE PROVIDED FOR ANY SIZE OF SINGLE
FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING,REGARDLESS OF THE SPECIFIC SITE CONDITIONS.THIS IS
NOT THE CASE,AS MANY OTHER FACTORS ENTER INTO THE CALCULATION. (SEE YOUR
LOCAL AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL DEALER FOR A REVIEW OF YOUR LOT.)
17. THE FILTER BEDS CONSTRUCTION DETAILS SHOWN ARE INTENDED ONLY AS A DESIGN
GUIDELINE FOR USE BY AQUAROBIC INTERNATIONAL DEALERS, ASSOCIATED
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS, AND ARE BASED ON CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES

01/13177 03118/77 and rainfall are likely to contribute

06/17/77 02/18/77 From research on crops,it is known
380 693• 16301 40o that the depth of the free water will
11/11/77 07115177 affect the rate of evapotranspira-
tion for a crop(9).Also,the relative
humidity or ambient vapor pres-
'Inuuding supplement sure has a theoretical effect on the L
rate of transpiration.Future efforts
to mathematically describe the ET
rate should include these and possi-
bly other variables.
Based on these observations of ET
systems and calculations of bed

a
long-term mean of 112 cm (44 in-

nual rainfall total in this area.The
return period for the 1975 annual
m e rainfall is more than 10 years,mak-
ing it a reasonable design year. It

fall, there would be less water re-

Conclusions
o After this initial evaluation of the
evapotranspiration systems at

presented.

posal is effective in this geo-

2. There are two constraints to a
properly functioning ET bed.
The first guideline is that the
bed be sized properly at a dies=

THE AQUAROBIC ZERO DISCHARGE WASTEWATER
�- TREATMENT SYSTEM UTILIZING HIGH RATE
1 EVAPO-TRANSPIRATION
INTRODUCTION
-I Since the early 1970's our firm, Aquarobic, has been involved in the design and use of
j Evapo-Transpiration beds as a safe and efficient way to dispose of wastewater without
damage to the environment.
Dr. Alfred P. Bernhart with the University of Toronto is the author of several books on
l Evapo-Transpiration of wastewater and we are grateful for his guidance in the successful
design of a number of E-T systems. The theory of Evapo-Transpiration has frequently been
met by skeptics saying, "O.K. it works in the summer, but will it work in the winter?"
Others might argue that the amount of rainfall in a particular area is greater than the "pan"
evaporation for that same area. It is,however,our experience that a properly designed total
�- E-T bed system will work anywhere in the continental United States and in parts of
Canada. The"Zero discharge"E-T system, based on Dr. Bernhart's work, consist of:
1. An excavated,level bed area dimensions in accordance with local
` temperature and humidity conditions. Annual inches of rainfall and
i♦ seasonal climatic variations must be known also.
i2. A watertight (plastic) bed liner.
` 3. A 6" bottom layer of 1/4" - 3/4" navel.
4. A series of 4"PVC percolation pipes in parallel resting on the gravel bed.
5. A 12"deep capillary sand layer(1/2' - 1')crowned at the top to
facilitate rain water runoff.
6. Large leaf vegetation planted throughout the area.
With the introduction of the Aquarobic greenhouse system into the equation, it has become
-� much easier to obtain approval b regulatory authorities.
PP Y � rY
j THE "ZERO DISCHARGE" SYSTEM CONCEPT
�J This system was developed to conserve water,eliminate discharge into the environment, be
non-polluting, cost effective and hygienically safe and by recycling of the nutrients in the
wastewater,plant growth is accelerated.
I 100
� I
U

L 1
The main components of the system are:
1. The Aquarobic Advanced Wastewater Treatment filter unit sized to treat the
daily flow from a single family household or commercial facility as the case
may be. 1 1
2. A greenhouse sized to accommodate the proper number of plant trays for
effective Evapo-Transpiration of the water being produced by the household
or establishment.
3. A storage tank located under the greenhouse with adequate capacity for
accumulation of excess flows during the winter months depending on l
location and weather conditions.
The Aquarobic tertiary wastewater treatment system is based on a fill and draw "batch"
process, where fine air bubbles agitate and effectively reduce the pollutants in the
wastewater.
In the single batch unit the wastewater accumulates throughout the day and is mixed and IL
aerated for 20 hours. The system is programmed so as to stop aeration at 2:00 a.m. at
which time the aeration chamber becomes the settling chamber. A three hour period of
perfectly quiescent settling follows, after which the controls start the effluent pump
transferring the supernatant (clear effluent) from the treatment compartment to the up-flow
filter. The settled solids (sludge) are retained in the aeration/settling chamber for continued
microbial digestion.
The up-flow filter is an integral part of the treatment plant. Effluent from the treatment
compartment flows into a distribution header in the bottom of the filter. The effluent rises
upwards through 4 - 6 feet of filter media land then overflows by gravity into the holding
tank underneath the greenhouse for subsequent use in the subsurface irrigation planters.
The effective treatment process results in a 98% reduction in Biological Oxygen Demand
(BOD) and Suspended Solids.
An important feature of the up-flow filter, is the function of the center well and pump
which serves to backwash the filter media on a daily basis thus keeping the biomass in the
filter media aerobic between filter cycles.
The key advantage of the Aquarobic Wastewater Treatment System is the availability of ( l
factory assembled and wired fiberglass reinforced tank units which simplifies installation t-1
and saves time. The system is, however, also available in "kit"form for installation on a
concrete tank.
�J
Operation of the Aquarobic "batch" system is automatic ad can be programmed to meet
specific hydraulic flow patterns. The electrical requirements are 1 phase, 230 volts, 50/60
hz. for systems handling up to 20,000 gallons per day and 3 phase, 208/230 volts, 50/60
hz. above 20,000 gallons per day.
The larger Aquarobic "Multi Batch" system differs from the "Single Batch" unit, in that a _�
clarifier chamber is added to the basic plant, allowing for 6 - 8 discharge cycles per day.
!

A water meter should be installed on the water supply line entering the building (outside
faucets should be bypassed) for monitoring of the actual water usage.
l As shown on the conceptional drawing the heat energy in the wastewater accumulated in
the large holding tank underneath the greenhouse can be used for space heating in the
winter months and cooling during the summer months by means of a water to air heat
—� pump system.
The nutrients in the wastewater are utilized through subsurface irrigation of the plants
k� grown in the planters. Wastewater discharged from a Mini plant was tested for chlorides,
phosphorous, nitrates, and ammonia by the National Sanitation Foundation International
laboratory. The average amount of nutrients discharged from the Aquarobic filter units was
r� found to be 3.17 m/1 of phosphorous or 0.026 lbs/1,000 gallons and 2.85 m/1 of nitrogen
or 0.023 lbs/1,000 gallons of water.
WATER SAVING DEVICES
Forty percent (40%) of all water consumed in a conventional home is used for toilet
-- flushing. Using one gallon/flush toilets the consumption can be reduced from say, 300
GPD to 200 GPD. Self closing faucets, low flow shower heads and faucet aerators may
further reduce water consumption by as much as 50% to approximately 150 GPD.
In calculating the Evapo-Transpiration rate which may be expected in a greenhouse
environment with supplementary heating and zero rainfall infiltration, it is safe to use Dn
Bernhart's estimated E-T rate.
The size and layout of the planters in the greenhouse will be determined by the number of
gallons to be disposed of. Dividing the gallons per day by the Evapo-Transpiration rate
gives us the total number of square feet required. The greenhouse is sized to allow for
adequate work space and easy maintenance. To conserve space in the greenhouse, the
planters can be stacked however, care must be taken to assure that sunlight reaches all
planters.
Additional evaporation will emit from the surface of the water accumulated in the large
holding tank underneath the greenhouse. The average evaporation for the particular area of
the county may be used to approximate how many additional gallons can be evaporated.
This has been found to be a substantial amount if extrapolated over a 12 month period.
We, however, calculate this to be a safety margin which is not added to the projected
Evapo-Transpiration rate.
In summary, Aquarobic International, Inc. has designed and supervised construction of
both large and small E-T systems under varying climatical conditions.
L� Our engineers are ready to assist with design details and specifications to meet specific site
requirements.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
MOUNTAIN VIEW MOTEL
BURNSVILLE, N.C.
PROPOSED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM- -IMPROVEMENTS
I. INTRODUCTION
The Mountain View Motel is a 19 unit motel located on U.S.
Highway 19-E approx'lma'tely 1 mile east of' Bizrnsville, N.C. It has
been in operation for approximately 25 years. The motel was
constructed on a very small lot (less than one acre) .
It is my understanding that when it was originally constructed
a small septic tank was built in front of the motel to treat the.
domestic sewage from the motel. The drain lines were located under
a gravel parking area initially. This area has subsequently been
paved with asphalt. A number of repairs have been made to the
system over the years, and the system has been pumped out regularly
during peak usage periods.
The Yancey. County Health Department has issued an order to the
present owner to correct the problem. It is anticipated that the
Town of Burnsville will provide public sewer to this site in the
near future. Therefore, -it • is the purpose of this proposal• to
evaluate the alternatives for serving this property with wastewater
treatment in the most economically feasible manner.

II. EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
Due to space limitations, alternatives for correcting the
problem are limited. The following alternatives have been
evaluated for the purposes of this report:
Pump Station / Force Main to Public .• Sewer - This
alternative would require installation of a pump station
and a force main approximately one mile to the Town of
Burnsville's public sewer system, and necessary
engineering and permitting costs.
Estimated Project Costs . . . . . . . $ 68, 000
Extended Aeration Package Plant - This alternative would
require installation of an on-site mechanical aeration
wastewater treatment system with an equalization tank, a
( sludge holding tank, and chlorination / de-chlorination,
and necessary engineering and permitting costs.
Estimated Project Costs . . . . . . $ 32,500
Subsurface Sand Filter Beds - This alternative would
require replacing the existing drain lines with two sand
filter beds (approximately 100' X 12' X 4' deep) , wet
well with dual alternating pumps, chlorinator / de-
chlorinator, and necessary engineering and permitting
costs. It would be very difficult to engineer this
system due to space limitations.
Estimated Project Costs . . . . . $ 39, 500
Other alternatives were considered, but were ruled out because
of space limitations or governmental restrictions. Application for
a Pump and Haul Permit was considered, but it was ruled out because

1
regulatory agencies only issue temporary Pump and Haul Permits
limited to six month's duration. Other alternatives such as spray
irrigation, innovative septic tank systems, etc. were not
considered as viable alternatives due to space limitations of the
property. The owner has attempted to purchase additional property
from adjacent land owners but has not been able to acquire any
additional property.

Descri tion of Proposed Wastewater Treatment S stem
The existing motel has 19 units. Using the design figure from
, Section 2H.0219 of NCAC 15 the design flow for the motel is
19 units X 120. ..Gal./Unit- = . 2280 GPD
The proposed receiving stream is Little Crabtree Creek, which has
a Class "C-Trout" Classification. Therefore, it is anticipated
that the wasteload allocation will produce the following discharge
limitations:
BOD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Mg/L Avg. 45 Mg/L Max.
TSS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Mg/L Avg. 45 Mg/L Max.
Fecal Coliform . . . . . 200 -per 1-00 mi. 400 per 100 mi.
Residual Chlorine . . . . . . . . . . . < . 02 mg/l
It should be noted that the above limits are estimates only
l and the final limits established by the N.C.D.E.M. may vary
depending on their evaluation of the assimilative capacity of a the
receiving stream and the results of any modelling techniques they
might employ.
Using the above estimates for discharge limitations and
present requirements for the design of an on site wastewater
treatment facility, it is proposed that the a 2500 GPD wastewater
treatment facility be constructed to replace the existing failing
septic tank system serving the Mountain View Motel.
The 2500 GPD Sequencing Batch Reactor Sewage Treatment System
shall consist of the following components:
-2500 Gallon Sequencing Batch Reactor
w/ Blowers and Pumps and Controls
-Model #3000 Gravel Filter

MINI-PLANT TM.
MODELS # 54291-5 TO # 54291-30
THE MINI-PLANT: IS A MINIATURE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM WHICH
TREATS DOMESTIC WASTEWATER ( 150 TO 400 Mg. /LITER BOD5 "BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN
DEMAND" AND SS. "SUSPENDED SOLIDS" ) FOR HOMES, OFFICES, BUSINESSES, AND MANY
OTHER APPLICATIONS. IT PROVIDES A REDUCTION IN POLLUTANTS (BOD5 & SS. ) TO A
DEGREE OF TREATMENT EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN MODERN MUNICIPAL SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANTS. THE MINI-PLANT HAS THE CAPACITY TO TREAT UP TO 3,000
GALLONS ( 13,638 LITERS ) PER DAY. ( N.S.F.I. STANDARD #40 ONLY LIST UNITS UP TO
1,500 G.P.D. ) THEY ARE AVAILABLE AS AN ADD ON KIT TO BE INSTALLED ONTO
LOCALLY MANUFACTURED ONE- COMPARTMENT CONCRETE TANK ( S ) OR INTO OUR
OWN CUSTOM MANUFACTURED FIBERGLASS TANK. ALL MINI-PLANT TANKS ARE
SIZED TO HOLD TWO OR THREE TIMES THE DAILY WASTEWATER FLOW THUS PROVIDING
100% OR MORE OVERLOAD CAPACITY AND THE ABILITY TO HANDLE THE OCCASIQN _
SHOCK LOAD,
SYSIEM OPERATION:
THE MINI-PLANT IS A SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR, CONTROLLED BY A FACTORY SET
PROGRAMMER WHICH TIMES THE AERATION AND SETTLING FUNCTIONS. IT DISCHARGES
A BATCH OF TREATED EFFLUENT TO THE DISPOSAL AREA ONCE PER DAY. THE NORMAL
PROGRAM AERATES FOR 20 HOURS A DAY, SUPPLYING THE WASTEWATER WITH FINE
DIFFUSED AIR FROM 6:00 AM. UNTIL 2 A.M. THE FOWLOWING MORNING, AT THIS TIME
THE PROGRAMMER TURNS OFF THE COMPRESSOR AND A 3 HOUR QUIESCENT SETTLING
PERIOD FOLLOWS ( DURING THIS TIME THE AERATION TANK BECOMES THE SETTLING
TANK ). AFTER THE 3 HOURS, OF PERFECTLY QUIESCENT PERIOD THE CLEAR
SUPERNATAN ( EFFLUENT ) IS DISCHARGED DURING THE REMAINING HOUR. (5:00 TO
6:00 AM. ) THE SYSTEM THEN RETURNS TO THE AERATION PROCESS AT 6 A.M. FOR
THE NEXT 20 HOURS TO FURTHER DIGEST THE RETAINED SOLIDS. THE MINI-PLANT
HAS THREE MAIN SECTIONS: THE CONTROL PANEL, THE MANWAY AND THE TANK WITH
ITS IN TANK COMPONENTS.
THE MINI-PLANT CONTROL PANEL, IS MOUNTED IN AN OUTDOOR WEATHERPROOF
ENCLOSURE. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC BRAIN WHICH MONITORS AND CONTROLS ALL PLANT
FUNCTIONS. THE PANEL HAS A VISUAL AND AN AUDIBLE SIGNAL TO SHOW NORMAL
OPERATION OR POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION. THERE ARE CIRCUIT BREAKERS,
THERMOELECTRIC PROTECTED MOTOR STARTING SWITCHES, RELAYS, AND LEVEL
SENSORS. THE CONTROL PANEL ENCLOSURE IS APPROXIMATELY 18" H X 14" W X 6"
D AND THE POWER SUPPLY IS 230 VOLT, SINGLE PHASE, 60 HERTZ.
r I COMPRESSOR AND PUMP DO NOT OPERATE AT THE SAME, TIME
THE MINI-PLANT MANWAY IS MANUFACTURED FROM HEAVY FIBERGLASS
REINFORCED POLYESTER. IT PROTECTS AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE AIR
COMPRESSOR, ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX AND THE MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS. INSIDE
THE MANWAY AN ENERGY EFFICIENT FUJI RING TYPE AIR COMPRESSOR IS MOUNTED
. IT CAN SUPPLY UP TO 42 CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER MINUTE TO THE DIFFUSERS.

EFFLUENT DISPOSAL.
IN MOST CASES EFFLUENT IS PUMPED TO AN ON SITE FILTER
BED OR ABSORPTION TRENCH. IN SOME SMALL RURAL COMMUNITIES, THE TREATED
EFFLUENT CAN BE PUMPED TO PRESSURE OR VACUUM LINES FOR TRANSPORTING TO A
COMMUNITY DISPOSAL AREA. OCCASIONALLY WHERE SUBSURFACE DISPOSAL IS NOT
FEASIBLE, SURFACE OR OFF SITE DISPOSAL MAY BE CONSIDERED WITH DISINFECTION
AFTER FILTRATION.
LOCAL REGULATIONS GOVERN METHODS OF DISPOSAL.
EFFLUENT QUALITY.
THE MINI-PLANTS ( 54291.5.110* TO 54291-15*) HAVE BEEN TESTED AND
LISTED BY THE NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL SINCE 1971 . N.S.F.I.
MEASURES THE MAJOR POLLUTANTS IN MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG/L). _ THEY..ARE :

MEETS OR EXCEEDS N.S.F.I. CLASS ONE 'STANDARD OF 30 MG/L BODS & 30 MG/L SS.
ACTUAL FIELD TESTS BY N.S.F.I. SHOW THE MEDIAN OF UNFILTERED EFFLUENT (CLASS
TWO)TO BE 27 MG/L BOD5 & SS AND THE FILTERED EFFLUENT( CLASS ONE) TO BE 5 MG/L .
THE AEROBIC PROCESS GREATLY REDUCES THE COLIFORM COUNT WHICH IS FURTHER
REDUCED BY FILTRATION. TO ACHIEVE 100% REDUCTION AS REQUIRED FOR SURFACE
DISCHARGE DISPOSAL,THE USE OF A DISINFECTANT IS NECESSARY.

MINI-PLANT FILTER FIBERGLASS TANK UNIT
CLASS I
THE MINI-PLANT AND FILTER UNIT IS A COMBINATION OF THE BASIC
MINI-PLANT AND AN UP-FLOW FILTER INSTALLED IN OUR OWN
FIBERGLASS, TANK OR IN A KIT FORM FOR INSTALLATION ONTO LOCALLY
BUILT CONCRETE TANKS. WHEN COMPLETELY INSTALLED IN ONE OF
OUR OWN FIBERGLASS TANKS, THE MINI-PLANT IS SEPARATED FROM THE
UP-FLOW FILTER BY A DOUBLE SET OF FIBERGLASS PARTITIONS .
SYSTEM OPERATION:
THE MINI-PLANT AND FILTER UNIT IS A MINIATURE WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH TERTIARY TREATMENT.
THE MINI-PLANT OPERATES ON A FILL AND DRAW OR BATCH TREATMENT
PROCESS USING.;FINE BUBBLED DIFFUSED AIR. WASTEWATER ENTERING:
` THE PLANT IS ACCUMULATED FOR A PERIOD OF 20 HOURS DURING WHICH
J TIME IT*IS AERATED. THE CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROGRAMMED TO SHUT
OFF THE AERATION AT 2 A.M. AND A THREE HOUR PERIOD OF PERFECTLY
QUIESCENT SETTLING FOLLOWS. ( BETWEEN 2:00 AM. AND 5:00 AM. ) AFTER
THE SETTLING PERIOD, THE SUPERNATAN, OR CLEAR EFFLUENT, IS PUMPED
OUT OF THE TREATMENT CHAMBER AND THROUGH THE UP-FLOW FILTER.
(BETWEEN 5:00 AM. AND 6:00 AM. ) THE SETTLED SOLIDS ARE RETAINED IN
THE TREATMENT TANK FOR CONTINUED DIGESTION.
THE UP-FLOW FILTER IS INSTALLED IN A COMPARTMENT- OF THE
FIBERGLASS TANK. IT ALSO COMES IN ITS OWN SEPARATE FIBERGLASS
TANK OR IN KIT FORM FOR INSTALLATIONS ONTO LOCALLY BUILD CONCRETE
TANK. THE EFFLUENT FROM THE MINI-PLANT FLOWS INTO A 4 INCH
DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FILTER CHAMBER.
THE EFFLUENT THEN FLOWS UPWARD THROUGH THE FILTER MEDIA. AT A
RATE NOT TO EXCEED ONE GAL. PER SQ. FT. OF FILTER SURFACE AREA. IT
THEN FLOWS BY GRAVITY OUT OF THE FILTER. THE STAND-PIPE IN THE
CENTER OF THE FILTER CHAMBER IS SLOTTED ON THE BOTTOM 12 INCHES
AND IS DESIGNED TO ACCEPT A PUMP SO THAT THE FILTER MEDIA CAN
BE BACKWASH ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS KEEPS THE FILTER MEDIA AEROBIC
IN NATURE AT ALL TIMES AND THE BIOLOGICAL FILTER PROCESS WORKING.
ADVANTAGES: ONE OF THE KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE MINI-PLANT
& FILTER UNIT IS THAT IT PRODUCES EFFLUENT OF A VERY HIGH QUALITY.
(LESS THAN 5 - 5 BOD5 AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS . SEE LAST TEST RESULTS
FROM 1981) ANOTHER KEY ADVANTAGE IS THAT THE FIBERGLASS TANK
�l UNIT COMES COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND WIRED SO THAT THE SERVICING
DEALER HAS ONLY TO CONNECT THE CONTROL PANEL AND INSTALL
THE FILTER MEDIA TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION. THE ENTIRE OPERATION
OF THE MINI-PLANT IS AUTOMATIC AND CAN BE PROGRAMMED FOR THE
SPECIFIC HYDRAULIC FLOW PATTERN OF EACH INDIVIDUAL HOME.

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
NPDES Permit No. NCO083282
Mountain View Motel
Yancey County
Dear Mr. Mehta:
On March 25, 1996, you requested that NPDES Permit No. NCO083282, previously issued to Mr. Norman
Rabeck, be reissued to you. A review of the permit file by the Asheville Regional Office has indicated that
the existing sampling requirements in the permit be modified. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith
modifications to the subject permit. These permit modifications are to the Cover Sheet and the effluent
limitations page. The modifications change ownership of this facility and remove the requirements for
influent monitoring.
Please find enclosed the amended pages which should be inserted into your permit. The old pages should be
discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect.
These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning these permit modifications, please contact Charles Weaver at
telephone number(919)733-5083,extension 511.
