On-Site and Out of Mind: Modular FAST® Helps On-Site Industry Solve Wastewater Treatment Problems


LENEXA, Kan. - For restaurants that are looking to bury their on-site wastewater treatment problems, Smith & Loveless has the answer: Modular FAST®.

The Modular FAST® is an ideal wastewater treatment system for the on-site industry because it is specially designed to accommodate the constant fluctuations encountered by small-flow, on-site applications.

It's design may be similar to a septic tank system because it can be installed below ground; however, the Modular FAST® is an advanced wastewater treatment system that provides clear, odorless effluent ready for subsurface discharge.

The Modular FAST® consists of a tank packed with fixed media that is totally submerged in wastewater. Influent enters the system and is circulated through the submerged media in the aeration tank. Bacteria are then "fixed" or attached to the media. This prevents hydraulic peaks from washing the bacteria out, while providing a higher surface area to volume ratio. A zone underneath the media exists for the sludge to settle and collect for further digestion in an anaerobic environment.

The remote blower on the system can be placed up to 100 feet away, allowing the Modular FAST® to be installed in high traffic areas, such as a parking lot. This setup also eliminates any noise.

Smith & Loveless is a global leader in the design and manufacture of water and wastewater treatment and pumping equipment. For more information on the Modular FAST® by Smith & Loveless Inc. visit smithandloveless.com.
