Specially designed for:
Residential, Decentralized Community and Commercial Applications

• Pre-Engineered, Pre-Constructed and Pre-Designed Systems
• Low Operating and Maintenance Requirements
• High Quality Treatment Performance
• Peat Fibre Media from Ireland
• Small System Footprint

• The wastewater flows from the home into a septic tank where primary treatment takes place. The solid materials settle out and the liquid effluent flows by gravity into a pump tank.
• The liquid effluent is then pumped by time dosing, at specified intervals, into the Puraflo modules. The effluent is then evenly distributed onto the biofibrous peat media.
• A combination of biological, chemical and physical processes treat the wastewater as it passes through the peat media. Typical wastewater residence time is between 36-48 hours before dispersment.
• Treated effluent often emerges from the basal area of the Puraflo modules and is dispersed through a gravel pad and ultimately recharged back into the groundwater system. The other methods of disposal of treated effluent include
  subsurface discharge through LPP systems, drip irrigation, mounded systems and other conventional disposal methods.
• High levels of treatment are achieved with the Puraflo Biofilter Treatment System ensuring protection of the groundwater system and surrounding environments.
