 Functioning of the Enviro-Septic System


                  The Enviro-Septic system is a passive technology which facilitates the
                  proliferation of the bacteria responsible for wastewater treatment. It is
                  comprised mainly of two inseparable components: the rows of Advanced
                  Enviro-Septic pipes and a layer of system sand.

                  The Enviro-Septic system must be preceded by a septic tank and a
                  distribution box (or another method of distribution). It must also be installed
                  over a polishing leaching field.

 Treatment        The rows of Advanced Enviro-Septic pipes and system sand permit the
 process of the   treatment and distribution of wastewater on the surface of the receiving soil
 Enviro-Septic    (surface of the polishing leaching field).
 system
                  The pipes support, first of all, the separation of particles through flotation and
                  decantation. The water is then evacuated through perforations situated all
                  around the pipes and through the pores of the two layers of synthetic media
                  covering the pipes. These membranes facilitate the fixation of the microbial
                  cultures which support wastewater treatment as well as longitudinal
                  distribution.

                  The layer of sand continues the treatment process and helps in dispersing the
                  water before it infiltrates into the natural soil. In this way, the Enviro-Septic
                  system integrates both functions.
