The Singulair Green aerobic wastewater treatment system from Norweco Inc. features a light, versatile high-density polyethylene septic tank that’s suitable for installation applications where traditional tanks cannot be used.
“These tanks do not require specialized equipment, like a boom crane, to install and deliver, because the unit weighs just less than 1,000 pounds,” says Mike Benton, sales manager for Norwalk, Ohio-based Norweco. “All an installer needs is a utility trailer big enough to haul the tank and a mini-excavator. It’s a great tool for opening up new markets for installers.”
Suitable for new and retrofit applications, the Singulair Green features 1,300-gallon capacity and can treat up to 600 gallons of wastewater per day, utilizing a three-chamber system. In the first, or pretreatment chamber, material that won’t break down settles to the bottom. In the second, or aeration chamber, an aerator introduces oxygen into the wastewater, which creates a favorable atmosphere for bacteria growth.
Four international plumbing and building codes have adopted the NSF/ANSI 350 standard for water reuse systems, NSF International said in a press release.
The global public health organization developed NSF/ANSI 350: Onsite Residential and Commercial Water Reuse Treatment to standardize the material, design and performance criteria for water reuse systems.
These systems treat greywater on-site, providing an additional source of water for restricted indoor use and reducing the strain on municipal resources, particularly in areas such as California where water scarcity is a growing concern.
“Water scarcity is a growing global issue and ensuring certified water reuse systems properly treat greywater will be an essential part of the solution,” commented Jessica Evans, director of Standards Development at NSF International.
