[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The AERO-TECH diffuses air into the wastewater using a USA patented aeration pump that uses less power, has no noise, no odor, requires little maintenance, and significantly surpasses all NSF requirements. The AERO-TECH design & technology creates an efficient economical wastewater system that achieves the highest degree of treatment for any application: residential or commercial. No other system can diffuse air as efficiently or is capable of achieving the water purity levels as AERO-TECH.
Benefits
The benefits of using Aero-Tech Extended Aeration Aerobic Treatment equipment are substantial.

- Can be easily configured to ‘low flow off season’ settings
Scope & Operation
AERO-TECH has been involved in hundreds of commercial and residential wastewater systems, providing education, design assistance, equipment, installation oversight, and operational support. This has allowed us to recognize the importance of a long-term relationship between the technology provider and the entity responsible for the successful management and operation of the wastewater infrastructure. To address this need, AERO-TECH’s systems department includes a division with individuals dedicated to asset management and support. Pacific Septic Tech’s Post-Sales responsibility is to work with collection and treatment system operators and owners to keep their systems working efficiently and cost-effectively. We provide information on new products, product improvements, and other helpful operational advice through direct contact and follow-up.
AERO-TECH’s Treatment System and its components are designed in a manner that allows for low cost & effective operation for the life of the system. Unlike other treatment systems available, AERO-TECH uses little electricity, comparatively, thanks to the use of patented aeration pumps, not compressors.
In addition to low-power consumption, the maintenance requirements for AERO-TECH are minimal, which further enhances the system’s cost-effective operation, especially when compared to other treatment systems. As with any engineered system, however, the AERO-TECH Extended Aeration System will work better and last longer if a qualified service provider regularly maintains it.
Speed of startup & process
The startup capability of Extended Aeration pump is unsurpassable. Since the aeration process begins immediately, so does treatment. The basic purpose of the activated sludge system is to establish and maintain a viable population of microorganisms by supplying food (BOD5) and the proper environment. In the proper environment the microorganisms convert the soluble and colloidal material present in the wastewater into new cells (activated sludge) and end products (CO2 and water). In actual operation the activated sludge process is run as a continuous process. Within our system, the incoming wastewater is intimately mixed with the active biological mass and provided with the necessary dissolved oxygen by the action of the air bubbles released from the aeration pump. This pump is located at the bottom center and causes a spiraling flow pattern to develop which rolls the chamber contents from the influent to effluent end. In the chamber, the suspended solids (MLSS) and liquid are separated by gravity. The separated solids are returned to the aeration compartment as return sludge while the clear water in the upper clarifying chamber is then discharged through the surge resistant disposal system of your choice: underground, waterway, or irrigation.
Low power requirements
Power costs are low because the aeration pump operates at a small fractional horsepower. We estimate your electricity bills will average $7 per month approximately.
Low routine maintenance requirements
Annual routine maintenance is recommended and normally includes inspection of effluent for clarity (e.g., turbidity, grease and oily films, foam, color, etc.) and odor, as well as cleaning the BEAR filter. Because the AERO-TECH is highly efficient, minimal sludge removal is required from the aeration tank. Solids do slowly accumulate in the both tanks and should ‘partially’ be removed every 2-3 years. Please continue the biweekly cleaning of the grease traps.
Ease of maintenance
Maintenance of AERO-TECH is service friendly and especially suited for management programs, due to a) Training and certification of installers and service providers, b) Detailed installation and operation manuals that identify specific service, testing and troubleshooting techniques, c) Specially engineered pumps that can be visually inspected and easily replaced, and d) Controls that monitor and alert service providers directly upon electro-mechanical malfunctions, as well as water usage and system functioning abnormalities. As a result, the management of our system can be as user-friendly, effective, reliable, and trouble-free.
Treatment comparison
Target effluent for AERO-TECH is 5 mg/L cBOD and 6mg/L TSS. Our competitors rarely achieve 30 mg/L for either. AERO-TECH is NSF certified and significantly surpassed NSF’s requirements. We challenge you to compare our outputs to the competitors. The average AERO-TECH Extended Aeration pump only consumes approximately 0.5 CFM of air. Our competitors typically consume 5.0-7.0 CFM. The small CFM of AERO-TECH is one of the many reasons our systems have no odors. Another significant comparison that should be made is the high Dissolved Oxygen (DO) of AERO-TECH. We average 4.0 mg/L (DO) while our competitors hardly reach 2.0 mg/L (DO). AERO-TECH output will not pollute and is approved for irrigation and public waterway discharge. Installation is easy, operation is simple, and we do not require expensive underground drip systems.
About AERO-TECH
AERO-TECH has been in the business of researching/developing, manufacturing, and selling leading-edge wastewater collection and treatment systems more over 11 years. Markets include residential, commercial, and utilities. Countless homes & business across North America and internationally are using AERO-TECH’s waste water solutions. AERO-TECH holds multiple patents. Our primary equipment is manufactured in the USA, but the tanks are manufactured in Costa Rica.
