How The SST Works
When below ground, water storage is
inadequate for solids settling; above ground solids settling
becomes very useful. Water is pumped from any collection point
to the SST. Wastewater is direct though a liquid quieting
well tube where its velocity is slowed to as low as 3 FPM,
the wastewater is forced reverse course 180 degrees in order
to exit the SST allowing solids settle to the bottom. Clarified
wastewater drawn through a cascade collection system and directed
to the exit port. The SST flow is governed by gravity and
is self regulating. Its self cleaning cone bottom tank can
be manually or automatically purged, depending on the system
configuration. The addition of the optional CMAFU-2 polishing
loop continuously removes accumulated sludge from the bottom
of the SST. During periods of low flow the CMAFU-2 polishing
loop super cleans the wastewater to <5 or 1 microns nominal.
