The sewage from your house enters a large two compartment septic tank, where the solids
settle out. The liquid (effluent) then flows to the drainfield where it is disbursed
through perforated pipes in the gravel trenches. In some cases, a pump is utilized if
the drainfield is upslope from the septic tank. The effluent trickles through the gravel
where it reaches the soil. The soil filters and treats the effluent, removing bacteria
and other pollutants before reaching the groundwater.
Properly operating and maintaining your drainfield will greatly reduce the potential
contamination of ground and surface water. As a homeowner, you can save thousand of
dollars in costly repairs if you take care of your on-site sewage system and use it
properly. Please click on the following links for specific operation and maintenance

The sewage from your house enters a large two compartment septic tank, where the solids
settle out. The effluent flows to a pump tank where it is then pumped out to a network
of pipes in controlled doses which insures uniform distribution throughout the system.
The effluent leaves the pipes under low pressure through small diameter holes, and
trickles downward through the gravel where it reaches the soil. The soil filters and
treats the effluent, removing bacteria and other pollutants before reaching the
groundwater.

The sewage from your house enters a large two compartment septic tank, where
the solids settle out. The liquid (effluent) then flows to a pump tank that
control dosing to the driplines. The treated effluent is pumped to a series
of small diameter, flexible tubing (dripline) with inline emitters (orifices),
usually installed 6-10” deep. The effluent is pumped into the soil using numerous,
small doses throughout the day. The soil filters and treats the effluent,
removing bacteria and other pollutants before reaching the groundwater.

The sewage from your house enters a large two compartment septic tank, where
the solids settle out. The liquid (effluent) then flows to a pump tank where
it is pumped to a mound system which consists of a raised mound of coarse
sand media. Within the sand fill is a gravel bed with a network of pressurized
pipes. Effluent is pumped through the pipes and trickles down into the gravel
and sand layer where treatment takes place before reaching the soil. The soil
filters and further treats the effluent, removing bacteria and other pollutants
before reaching the groundwater.

Packed bed filters are basically containers packed with a filter media, and have a distribution
or dosing system that provide for the aerobic, biological and physical treatment of the
wastewater constituents as the applied wastewater system passes through and comes in
contact with the filter media. Packed bed filters are also known as attached growth and
trickling filters.

Glendon® BioFilter Technologies and their affiliates currently market, design, construct, install,
and service two models of residential wastewater treatment units. Both units are upflow media
filters and are based upon the same patented principles, which involve the biological treatment
of septic tank effluent as it flows upward through sequential layers of mineral filter media within
an in-ground containment vessel and then out of the vessel through matric and gravitational forces.
No separate drainfield is required as final treatment and effluent disposal occurs in the native
soil surrounding the vessel. The effluent from the vessel is conveyed from the vessel to the
prepared native soil through the cover sand material. This cover sand is the top layer of sand,
which continues over the rim and out over the native soil at the perimeter of the containment vessel.
