  • Patent number: 7708259
    Abstract: An apparatus designed to convert the dynamic of residential wastewater treatment processing bacteria from anaerobic to aerobic bacteria in existing single or multiple compartment septic tanks. The apparatus consists of a small self-standing weighted diffuser assembly designed with a center tube having a specific series of vertically lined orifices and a deflector plate that can be lowered through an 8-inch diameter opening by means of the attached flexible airline into an existing septic tank and sit directly on the bottom of the septic tank. A flexible airline attaches the diffuser assembly to a small air pump located outside of the septic tank. When the air pump is activated, air will enter the diffuser assembly and discharge through the orifices a combination of fine and coarse air bubbles. This action causes the wastewater to be forced against the deflector plate and creates a rolling action starting at the bottom of the septic tank and rolling upwards toward the outside of the tank.

  • Patent number: 7513995
    Abstract: An air driven particle recirculator designed to introduce air around a single or multiple compartment septic tank discharge outlet baffle or filter assembly. The air driven particle recirculator causes a movement of waste particles and suspended solids to be forced away from the inlet of the outlet baffle or filter assembly to only allow cleaner filtered effluent to enter the secondary treatment system. The particle recirculator performs a function normally carried out by a settling compartment or clarifier zone associated in aerobic type septic systems. When installed in a single or multiple compartment septic tank utilizing an aerobic process, the particle recirculator will remove waste particles from the discharge area causing cleaner discharge and a cleaner septic tank filter assembly or outlet baffle reducing potential pre-mature failure or damage to the secondary treatment system.
