Operating Guidelines
2.1.
Types of wastewater that can be treated
Wastewater Characteristics
The treatment performance of the unit depends of the physicochemical raw wastewaters coming to the treatment chain.
These
should
be
typical and
balanced
in order to be
compatible
with
the
biological treatment process
and
the maintenance of good
treatment performance
(i.e.: neutral
pH
,
alkalinity and
lack of
sufficient
inhibitory
substances).
By the
phosphorus removal unit (DpEC)
Wastewater
from domestic sources
from an isolated dwelling.
These
onsite applications
,
defined as
single-family
or multi-family
dwellings comprised of
six
bedrooms
or less as well as any other
building discharging
wastewater
of a comparable nature
.
By the
watertight sand filter
Treated domestic wastewater
must come from
a treatment
unit
including a
phosphorus removal unit (DpEC)
certified to
NQ 3680-
910
and /
or
Can/BNQ
3680-600 standards
.
Filtration system
for drinking water
If your
residence is equipped with
a filtration system
for drinking water
(i.e.:
water softener,
greensand filter
, etc.),
Under no
circumstances should the backwash from this system be directed to the waste water treatment system, as this may
affect the operation of the system. Contact us to agree on an acceptable solution.

in an area where the groundwater table can reach 30 cm (12’’) from
its base (otherwise, drain pipes could be required).
•
Never install the
primary reactor
and the EC unit in clayey soil without taking precautions.
•
Keep all lids of the treatment system accessible at all times. NEVER cover them with mulch, dirt or any permanent structure.
•
The profile of the lot must be such that surface run off flows away from the septic system.
•
Ensure rapid regrowth of vegetation to prevent soil erosion.
•
Once the landscaping is completed, all lids must rise 50 mm (2") above the surface of the finished lot. Never cover or bury the
access lids of the
phosphorus removal unit (DpEC)
.
•
Limit backfilling above the
primary reactor
to 50 cm (20").
No additional extension is allowed on the primary reactor.
•
Never install an additional riser on the access of the EC
unit
. Limit backfilling to 15 cm (6").
•
Never exceed the maximum height of 710 mm (28") of riser on the pumping station PSA-240-FAS. Note that the PSA-240-FAS
pumping station already has a 150 mm (6") PSR-060 riser.
•
Never install an additional riser on the access of the TLP-FAS pumping station.
•
Respect the minimum distances prescribed by regulations.
•
Never plant a tree at distance less than 2 m (6' 5") of sand filter limits.
