The BioMicrobics MicroFAST 0.4 wastewater treatment system offers residential homeowners advanced wastewater treatment for an environmentally sustainable solution. It can treat 400 gpd and can be inserted into any concrete or plastic tank, including rotationally molded tanks. The oxygenated water supports the growth of useful microorganisms on the surface of the media. These attached-growth microorganisms break down the organic material in the wastewater. The microbial growth on the media surface is sloughed off by aeration. Oxygenated water with low organic content will be delivered to a drainfield, promoting a breakdown of the existing biomat layer, thereby improving soil and drainage. 800-753-3278; www.biomicrobics.com
