Description of Treatment System

Primary 1
Anaerobic digestion breaks down the pollutants without moving parts.

Primary 2
Anaerobic digestion.

Aeration 1 and 2
Aerobic bacteria flourish on a biofilter to feed on the organic material from Primary 1 and 2.

Sedimentation Chamber
Allows any pollutants which are hard to digest time to either settle to the bottom or float to the top. This allows treated effluent to pass onto the next stage.

Sludge/Scum Remover
Takes any build-up from the sedimentation chamber back to the beginning for further treatment.

Disinfection/Surge Chamber
Allows time to dilute chlorine and kill bacteria effectively. It compensates for any large volume of wastewater entering the system. This ensures that only treated effluent will be disposed onto the garden area.

Pump Chamber
The treated water is collected and then automatically distributed to the irrigation area.

The Process

The water is recycled, making it safe to use on your gardens, this is achieved by recirculating the water through a filter medium where aerobic bacteria is cultured. The bacteria is stimulated by pumping oxygen into the chambers and circulating the effluent around and through the filter medium. The system is designed in such a way that all water that passes through the filter, is retained in the tank long enough for the filtration process to take place.

As the water in the sedimentation chamber reaches its flow level, it passes through a chlorination canister where the bacteria, that is present in the filtered effluent, are destroyed. Disinfection of the treated water ensures that bacteria cultures do not continue to grow after the water has been irrigated onto your garden.

The irrigation process is carried out by a pump which is activated by a float switch. This then resets itself ready for the next surge of water which will flow through from the disinfection chamber. When you install an Envirocycle System you have the opportunity of reusing your water twice. Once inside the house and once outside and in doing so have contributed to protecting and conserving our environment.
