The principle of the system we use is not an AWTS (aerated wastewater treatment system) which is a general term for any system with air entrained into the unit. Our system principle is a SAFE system (submerged aeration filtered effluent). A major advantage of the SAFE system is its unique ability to handle significant fluctuations in flow and loading, without upsetting the performance of the system.
The system consists of a vessel packed with a media which provides a high surface area to volume ratio. The media is submerged in the liquid. Air diffusers below the media provide circulation of the waste to be treated by the media and provide oxygen to the liquid.
Consequently the bacteria, unlike conventional activated sludge suspended growth systems (AWTS) grow on the media. If the loading conditions in the SAFE system varies, the microbial mass will adjust to these conditions. Unlike a conventional active sludge system, the excess mass is not lost in the effluent, but remains in the system attached to the media.
