An apparatus designed to convert the dynamic of residential
wastewater treatment
processing bacteria from anaerobic to
aerobic bacteria in existing single or multiple compartment septic tanks. The apparatus consists of a small self-standing weighted diffuser
assembly designed with a center tube having a specific series of vertically lined orifices and a deflector plate that can be lowered through an 8-inch
diameter opening by means of the attached flexible airline into an existing
septic tank and sit directly on the bottom of the
septic tank. A flexible airline attaches the diffuser
assembly to a small
air pump located outside of the
septic tank. When the
air pump is activated, air will enter the diffuser
assembly and
discharge through the orifices a combination of fine and coarse air bubbles. This action causes the
wastewater to be forced against the deflector plate and creates a rolling action starting at the bottom of the septic tank and rolling upwards toward the outside of the tank. This rolling
wastewater is forced to the top of the liquid level in the septic tank and then is pulled back down to the bottom and back toward the diffuser where the cycle begins again. This unique action takes place on all sides of the diffuser assembly very quickly breaking solids down into
small particles. Additional benefits include the production of sufficient
oxygen in the wastewater to proliferate the growth of
aerobic bacteria. With the constant rolling action of
sewage and particles, it is necessary especially in a
single compartment septic tank to eliminate those particles from exiting the tank and entering into the
secondary treatment system. The apparatus is designed to draw those small waste particles down and away from the septic tank
discharge point, and back toward the diffuser assembly ensuring those particles do not exit the septic tank.
