The System offers a leading practice solution for minimizing potential risk to public health and the environment from septic tank discharges.
The System comprises several devices and is suitable for both new and existing septic tank installations.
The on-site monitoring devices are managed via a Centralized Data Repository that collects and interprets data for reporting of on-site operational problems or predicting potential problems.
What does it do?
The integrated system will:
- Monitor and record changes in the septic tank to identify sludge and scum build-up and detect infiltration and leaks
- Monitor lows to the effluent drainage lines
- Alarm when maintenance is required
- Allow prediction of future maintenance frequencies based on system use
- Identify system overload from excessive water consumption
- Collect qualitative and quantitative data for stakeholders to aid informed decision making.
Benefits
- Reduces risk to public and environmental health from poorly managed or failing septic systems
- Prevents over servicing that can result from arbitrary clean out programs
- Tracks the movement of waste from collection point to disposal point
- Promotes water conservation through improved septic system performance
- Demonstrates commitment to managing septic tanks wastewater discharges through leading practice technology
- Provides a framework and process for improving on-site wastewater management
- Offers a superior and more cost effective management solution than alternatives
The Control Panel also has an important job to inform the householder on system status via inquiry and Alarm Events. The red light on the Control Panel will display the Alarm Event type in an understandable language.
Similarly if apparatus status is requested by the householder then the Control Panel will display the information.
These pressure readings are used in conjunction with other data to detect tank operation including sludge and scum levels, infiltration and tank leaks
The Apparatus Controller can be either hard wired to the Control Panel or use RF communication.
The Distribution Pit Sensors convey data to the Control Panel via the Apparatus Controller.
FICS has four specially designed and proportional weir patterns that allows for easy installation on the end of each pipe outlet within the close confines of a normal distribution pit.
By rotating and selecting the appropriate settings, multiple absorption trench configurations can be used. The FICS can also be used to retrofit septic tank systems that have serial distribution with the use of normal pipe bends for radical weir level adjustments.
The Management System links all the monitoring processes together and interprets the data received to produce meaningful reports on the performance of individual septic tank systems.
This information is used to follow-up outstanding maintenance or other works needed for systems that are not performing satisfactorily.
The waste tracking component of the Management System enables waste to be tracked from “cradle” to “grave”.
