Sedimentation Chamber

This chamber is designed to physically separate solids

from the incoming water. Scum is the floating material and

sludge is the material that has settled at the bottom.

Anaerobic Chamber

This chamber contains a spherical skeleton-type filter

media, 4.3 inch diameter (109 mm). Through bacterial

growth processes on the surface of the filter media,

biological anaerobic treatment thrives while suspended

solids are captured. Furthermore, the microorganisms

in this chamber convert nitrates in the recirculated water

returning from the aerobic chamber to gaseous nitrogen.

The gaseous nitrogen then escapes to the atmosphere.

Aeration Chamber

The aeration chamber consists of an aerated upper section

and a filter media lower section. The chamber is filled with

hollow, cylindrical filter media, 0.6 inch diameter (15 mm)

Effluent

The complete wastewater treatment system will typically consist of

the Fusion

treatment components and a soil absorption field for final

disposal of the liquid effluent. Some states or counties may require the

addition of a septic tank before the Fusion

chamber capacity and retain more solids. Please see Figure 11 for a

typical Fusion

system. Variations to the typical system will be made

to suit your particular site and system design needs. Please contact

your authorized Fusion

installer or maintenance provider for further

information about your system design.

THE FUSION

The Fusion

treatment unit utilizes an electronic, dual-port blower

designed specifically for use with this system. The blower consists

of a linear motor and two diaphragms to generate the air flow

necessary to aerate and recirculate water within the system. This

style of blower is quieter and more efficient than traditional rotary

vane compressors. Once installed and adjusted, circuitry within the

blower will automatically switch the unit from normal recirculation

mode to backwash mode and back again when appropriate. In the

event of a power outage, the blower will stop, but a backup battery

within the unit will retain the correct time and backwash settings.

DUAL-PORT BLOWER

and 0.55 inches long (14 mm). Biological treatment takes

place on the filter media surface. Aeration is continuous.

Residual suspended solids are captured by the filter media

circulating in this section. During normal operation, a

recirculation line transfers water back to the sedimentation

chamber.

The filter media in the aeration chamber are backwashed

regularly (twice a day, 5 or 10 minute cycle) by the

backwash system located at the bottom of the chamber.

The accumulated sludge is transferred back into the

sedimentation chamber for further digestion.

Storage Chamber

This chamber is designed to temporarily store treated water

exiting the aeration chamber. This treated water is ready for

discharge.
