BIG BLUE Features
The pre-treatment chamber
Solids are first separated from the incoming wastewater by a pre-treatment chamber built in to the front of the tank. The pre-treatment chamber has been designed to provide plenty of detention time for solids to settle and volume for storage of solids.
The aeration chamber
Other on-site aerobic systems on the market use basic box like shaped tanks and that don’t mix thoroughly and allow sludge to accumulate on the bottom. They also tend to use mechanical mixers with motors, shafts and propellers for aerating the mixed liquor from just below the surface of the water.
No dead zones!

The clarifier chamber
The clarifier chamber has sloped sides just like the aeration chamber. The water flows in and the solids flow down and out back to the aeration chamber. We designed our clarifier with an adjustable weir to perform final separation of solids from the clear effluent.
Additional equipment
A chlorine disinfection and/or filtration system can be added to the BIG BLUE system if needed. BIG BLUE can also be used with additional pre-treatment tanks, lagoons, lift stations to improve treatment levels and capacity.
The Benefits
The benefits that BIG BLUE offers are numerous. Here is a quick rundown of what our treatment system can offer you.
- No internal moving parts for the treatment process
- Gravity is used for process flow and therefore is not disrupted by power outages
- Pre-treatment tank included in system
- Suspended growth / no media to change out
- Tank design provides maximum mixing, biological contact and eliminates dead zones
- Tank manufactured to NSF 61 Standards
- Tank constructed out of corrosion proof fiberglass
- Mechanical components are located above grade for easy maintenance
- No proprietary “gizmos” to treat water
- System requires minimal maintenance
- System can be combined with lift stations and additional treatment equipment
