The Fusion ® is simple in design, yet advanced in its wastewater
treatment ability. The design has been refined over many years
of intense research and development in an effort to perfect
this superior treatment system. Fusion ® systems are 90% -
95% efficient at treating wastewater. This is nearly twice as
effective as a traditional septic tank, which is approximately
50% efficient. This high degree of treatment helps to protect
both your personal property and the environment.
The Fusion ® utilizes a combination of anaerobic (without
oxygen) and aerobic (with oxygen) biological processes to treat
wastewater. As wastewater enters the Fusion ® , it is broken
down and becomes food for biological organisms operating
within the unit. The first chamber serves to separate grease
and large solids from the liquid. In the second chamber, plastic
media with large surface areas are used to increase contact
between water and beneficial bacteria to optimize treatment. A
small linear air blower is used to move air (oxygen) into the third
chamber for the aerobic process. The final effluent leaving the
system will have been treated to secondary quality effluent and
will average *9 mg/L CBOD5 and 9mg/L TSS.
* Based on NSF Standard 40 testing.
