Eco-Pure Peat Moss Biofilter
Simply Natural, Naturally Simple
|
The Eco-Pure Peat Moss Biofilter is a wastewater treatment system that utilizes a specially blended sphagnum peat moss for the treatment of septic tank effluent.
The raw wastewater from a home or business first enters a septic tank where pre-treatment of the wastewater occurs. The partially treated septic tank effluent flows to the Eco-Pure Peat Moss Biofilter through gravity flow or a small effluent dosing pump.
A predetermined amount of sphagnum peat moss is placed within the proprietary module on the job site. This amount was determined through extensive research and development of the system and is controlled by the use of pre-packaged peat "pillows".
The pillows are mesh, polypropylene, non-degradable bags filled with sphagnum peat moss. The pillows are filled to the appropriate amount at the Planet Care manufacturing facility. Each module contains forty one (41) pillows. Properly placed, the pillows will fit together with minimal void space. The pillows are placed in two rows, perpendicular to each other, one on top of the other. In order to fill in the voids, the placement of ten (10) bales of loose peat moss is required. The peat moss pillows and bags are placed on a pallet and shrink wrapped for easy shipment and transport. One module contains one pallet of peat. Properly operated and maintained the peat moss should last over 10 years.
Sphagnum peat moss provides an excellent environment for naturally occurring organisms that provide a high level of wastewater treatment. The treatment occurs by a combination of physical, biological and chemical processes. Due to the unique process, The Eco-Pure Peat Moss Biofilter is patented.
The dimensions of the high density polyethylene (HDPE) module are 7 feet wide x 10 feet long x 4 feet high. Each module is a capable of treating peak flows of up to 650 gallons of wastewater per day from a four bedroom home.
The wastewater enters the Eco-Pure Peat Moss Biofilter at the top of the module and is evenly distributed over the sphagnum peat moss bed through a high density polyethylene distribution plate, placed directly on top of the peat moss.
The treated effluent is collected at the bottom of the module in a 4? diameter collection pipe. This 4? pipe sits in the channels manufactured in each module. The treated effluent is discharged at the bottom of the module to a subsurface leach field.
