The Fusion ® is simple in design, yet advanced in its wastewater
treatment ability. The design has been refined over many years of
intense research and development in an effort to perfect this superior
treatment system. Fusion ® systems are 90% - 95% efficient at treating
wastewater. This is nearly twice as effective as a traditional septic tank,
which is approximately 50% efficient. This high degree of treatment
helps to protect both your personal property and the environment.
The Fusion ® utilizes a combination of anaerobic (without oxygen) and
aerobic (with oxygen) biological processes to treat wastewater. As
wastewater enters the Fusion ® , it is broken down and becomes food
for biological organisms operating within the unit. The first chamber
serves to separate some grease and large solids from the liquid. In
the second chamber, plastic media with large surface areas are used
to increase contact between water and beneficial bacteria to optimize
treatment. A small linear air blower is used to move air (oxygen) into
the third chamber for the aerobic process. The final effluent leaving the
system will have been treated to secondary quality effluent.
