JET Aerobic Wastewater Treatment System

The System is an aerobic biological submerged media treatment system designed to treat wastewater. The System is installed in a tank with a primary settling zone,

aerobic treatment zone and a secondary clarifying zone. Solids settle and scum

collects in the primary chamber. The aerobic zone contains a fixed media, consisting

of rigid plastic honeycomb material that encourages the growth of aerobic bacteria,

which consume the organic matter in the wastewater. Aerobic conditions are

maintained by an aspirator, which draws in, disperses and mixes fine air bubbles

throughout the aerobic zone. Clear effluent is produced in the clarifying zone where

the solids are settled and return to the aeration zone. The effluent from the clarifying

zone is discharged to the distribution box and then the soil absorption system (SAS).

PROS

• Advanced treatment - cleaner discharge to leach field. A permanent solution to leach field failure (conventional leach systems are doomed to failure).
• Sites that do not meet Title V requirements can now have a fully functioning septic system.

CONS

• Homeowner perception that maintenance is a financial burden - The true cost of I/A maintenance is comparable to 'big pipe' sewer costs.
• Homeowner awareness - homeowners are not aware that they have to maintain an I/A system.
• Board of Health/local approving authority can be overwhelmed in trying to keep track of so many varied systems, permits, repairs, testing requirements, site conditions, contract expirations/renewals.
