Go-Green Sewage and Wastewater Treatment System Ltd. (Go-Green)
has developed a package-type biological sewage treatment process
for marine,household and sub-division use. The system uses an
attached growth fixed film reactor technology.
The elements of the treatment plant are:
1. Two-component septic tank for pre-treatment
2. One fermentation chamber containing spherical plastic packed bed fixed media
3. One aerobic treatment chamber containing spherical plastic packed bed fixed media
4. One final clarifier with a Biotube effluent filter at its outlet
5. Treated effluent pump chamber
6. One submerged aerator to supply air for treatment and to provide mixing
Sewage flows through the entire process by gravity, entering each
chamber through a tee at the top and exiting from another tee at
the bottom. The large size of the plastic media precludes any potential
for clogging. A small amount of excess sludge generated in the
aerator chamber settles in the quiescent zones of that chamber (where
mixing activity is minimal) with the majority settling in the final
clarifier. Excess settled sludge is pumped out periodically from
those chambers. Materials of construction consist of high density
polyethylene containers, PVC piping and a 1/6 HP Go Green submerged
aerator. The Biotube effluent filter is schedule 40 PVC, manufactured
by Orenco Systems Inc.
The plastic media is constructed of high density polyethylene under a patented design that has been in use since 1995.
All components of the treatment plant are CSA approved. All access hatches are sealed lids made of fiberglass. Sub-surface installations include a concrete containment tank in which the plastic tanks are placed. The only visible feature is an alarm system which is triggered if the tanks become too full, and can be deactivated manually.
