The Solar Air aerobic sewage treatment system is an extended aeration activated sludge process. This type of treatment depends primarily on the use of air that is introduced into the wastewater from your home as soon as it enters the treatment unit. When air is introduced, it promotes the growth of organisms that break down the organic solids.

The introduction of air into wastewater is called aeration. Aeration provides dissolved oxygen that mixes with the wastewater promoting and sustaining the organisms or bacteria that breakdown the organic solids that enter the treatment plant.

The pretreatment tank, the first stage of the process receives raw sewage from the source and traps any non-biodegradable waste.

The aeration chamber introduces oxygen into the wastewater by means of an extremely quiet and efficient linear air pump. This aeration process creates an oxygen rich environment for the growth of aerobic bacteria. These microscopic organisms digest the solids in the wastewater.

In the clarifier, the solids separate from the liquid and settle to the bottom. That matter is called activated sludge which is returned to the aeration chamber to be remixed. As solids settle in the clarifier, a clear, odorless effluent rises and flows out of the wastewater treatment plant through the chosen method of disposal.
