PROCESS DESCRIPTION

1. Sedimentation Chamber

This chamber is designed to physically separate solids

from the incoming water. Scum is the oating material

and sludge is the material that has settled at the bottom.

2. Anaerobic Chamber

This chamber contains a spherical skeleton-type lter

media, 4.3 inch diameter (109 mm). Through bacterial

growth processes on the surface of the lter media,

biological anaerobic treatment thrives while suspended

solids are captured. Furthermore, the microorganisms

in this chamber convert nitrates in the recirculated water

returning from the aerobic chamber to gaseous nitrogen.

The gaseous nitrogen then escapes to the atmosphere.

3. Aeration Chamber

The aeration chamber consists of an aerated upper

section and a lter media lower section. The chamber is

lled with hollow, cylindrical lter media 0.6 inch diameter

(15 mm) and 0.55 inches long (14 mm). Biological

treatment takes place on the lter media surface.

Aeration is continuous. Residual suspended solids are

captured by the lter media circulating in this section.

During normal operation, a recirculation line transfers

water back to the sedimentation chamber by way of an air

lift pump.

The lter media in the aeration chamber are backwashed

regularly (twice a day, 5 or 10 minute cycle) by the

backwash system located at the bottom of the chamber.

The accumulated sludge is transferred by an air lift pump

back into the sedimentation chamber for further digestion.

4. Storage Chamber

This chamber is designed to temporarily store treated

water exiting the aeration chamber. This treated water is

ready for discharge.

The complete wastewater treatment system will typically consist of

the Fusion

treatment components and a soil absorption eld for nal

disposal of the liquid efuent. Some states or counties may require

the addition of a septic tank before the Fusion

to increase the

sedimentation chamber capacity and retain more solids. Please see

Figure 11 for a typical Fusion

system. Variations to the typical system

will be made to suit your particular site and system design needs.

Please contact your authorized Fusion

installer or maintenance

provider for further information about your system design.

CERTIFICATION MARK

The Fusion

treatment unit comes with an electronic, dual-

port blower designed specically for use with this system. The

blower utilizes a linear motor and two diaphragms to generate

the air ow necessary to aerate and recirculate water within the

system. This style of compressor is quieter and more efcient

than traditional rotary vane compressors. Once installed and

adjusted, circuitry within the blower will automatically switch the

unit from normal recirculation mode to backwash mode and back

again when appropriate. In the event of a power outage, the

blower will stop, but a backup battery within the unit will retain

the correct time and backwash settings.
