What Is an Advanced Treatment Unit (ATU)?
An Advanced Treatment Unit is an on-site wastewater treatment system designed to provide additional treatment beyond traditional septic treatment.
This can be particularly important in environmentally sensitive areas where reducing the amount of nitrogen entering the surrounding environment is a priority.
Florida recognizes NSF/ANSI Standard 245 nitrogen-reducing ATUs, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection maintains a list of certified systems approved within the state.
Fuji Clean Advanced Treatment Units
Compact, High-Performance Wastewater Treatment
Fuji Clean CEN systems provide advanced wastewater treatment and enhanced nitrogen reduction in a compact system.
Why Consider Fuji Clean?
Compact design
The CEN5 uses a one-tank design with an approximately 8′ x 4’2″ footprint and is rated for treatment of up to 500 gallons per day.
Enhanced nitrogen reduction
Fuji Clean reports a 75% nitrogen reduction ratio for the CEN5 based on NSF data.
Designed for new and replacement systems
According to Fuji Clean, the CEN5 is suitable for both replacement sites and new construction and was designed for environmentally sensitive locations where enhanced nitrogen reduction is required or desired.
Easy maintenance
Fuji Clean designed its CEN units for semiannual maintenance, with much of the servicing accomplished through control adjustments and backwashing rather than removing the treatment media.
Fuji Clean CEN Models
Florida DEP currently lists the following CEN models as Florida-approved NSF 245-certified models:
- CEN 5
- CEN 7
- CEN 10
- CEN 14
Infiltrator ECOPOD Advanced Treatment Units
Advanced Treatment Designed for Nitrogen Reduction
Infiltrator ECOPOD systems provide another advanced treatment option for properties where nitrogen reduction is required.
The ECOPOD-N uses a fixed-film treatment process and has been tested under NSF/ANSI Standards 40 and 245.
ECOPOD-N Options
Available ECOPOD-N treatment capacities include:
E50-N: 500 gallons per day
E60-N: 600 gallons per day
E75-N: 750 gallons per day
E100-N: 1,000 gallons per day
E150-N: 1,500 gallons per day
Why Consider ECOPOD?
Fixed-film treatment technology
The ECOPOD-N uses a fixed-film process designed for continuous or intermittent use.
Reduced internal mechanical complexity
Infiltrator states that the ECOPOD-N has no mechanical parts internal to the treatment unit and was designed to minimize sludge production.
Multiple treatment capacities
Its residential lineup ranges from 500 to 1,500 gallons per day, providing multiple options depending on the wastewater treatment requirements of the property.
Florida-approved options
Florida DEP’s current NSF 245 list includes multiple ECOPOD-N configurations. It also lists newer ECOPOD-NX, ECOPOD-NR, and ECOPOD Edge500 systems.
Ask Us About ECOPOD Edge
For applications needing a higher level of nitrogen reduction, ECOPOD Edge is another option to discuss with East Coast Septic Services.
The manufacturer reports that ECOPOD-Edge technology has been tested under NSF/ANSI 40 and 245 with greater than 79% average nitrogen reduction. The EDGE500 and EDGE600 provide treatment capacities of 500 and 600 gallons per day, respectively.
Which Advanced Treatment Unit Is Right for Your Property?
There isn’t one septic treatment system that’s right for every property.
Site conditions, wastewater flow, system configuration, and applicable permitting requirements can affect which advanced treatment solution is appropriate.
Florida DEP also notes that approval of the treatment receptacle is required before ATU sale and installation in Florida. That’s when working with an experienced local septic company matters.
East Coast Septic Services can help you explore advanced treatment options for your St. Augustine-area property, including Fuji Clean and Infiltrator ECOPOD systems.
