This highly permeable material treats a tremendous amount of wastewater in a very small footprint. With EcoflexTM, there is no odor or noise. Each filtering media roll is either inserted indi vidually in a watertight polyethylene tank or installed in cluster in a prefabricated concrete or fibreglass tank.features• More contact surface for better treatment• Even performance despite peak flows, wastewater quality and temperature variation• Ideal for seasonal applications (short start-up period)• Minimum footprint required• Low energy and maintenance costs• Cost-effective solution for applications between 500 and 6,500 US gal/d (2.5 to 25 m3/d) commerciaL anD institUtionaL aPPLIcatIons• Office building • Campground• Inn and Hotel • Shopping mall• Restaurant • Rest area• Resort • Truck stop• Golf course • Nursing home• Spa • School• Retirement home • Forest campcommUnitY aPPLIcatIons• Single dwelling where denitrification • Suburban residential is required new development• Small municipality and subdivision • Trailer parkso manY more advantages• Nitrogen removal (nitrification/denitrification)• Easy to install, operate and maintain• Short start-up period• Modular system• Ideal system for difficult site conditions• Indoor or outdoor installationPremIer tech envIronnement Is the Preferred Partner For aLL wastewater treatment soLUtionsFor more than 20 years, Premier Tech Environnement has multiplied its efforts in research and development to design new treatment systems adapted to today’s reality. Limited space and environmental concerns are only two of the factors that pushed the IR&D team to develop the EcoflexTM ultra compact advanced secondary treatment systems that can achieve total nitrogen removal.InnovatIve aPProachThis approach is based on a packed-bed textile filter named EcoflexTM, well-adapted for single -family homes, commercial properties and small community projects with domestic wastewater and a daily flow smaller than 6,500 gpd (25 m3/d).ecofLeXtm Performance resuLts11 Typical values according to sampling campaigns in Canada and United States since 1999.2 Water temperature at the septic tank effluent.

EcoflexTM may be operated in a recirculation loop (multi-pass configuration) to achieve advanced secondary treatment level or may be operated in a single-pass configuration as a polishing unit after the BiosegTM treatment system. .Recirculation of a portion of the flow (usually, R = 2Q) to optimize nitrogen removal.Effluent final disposal towards a surface or a subsurface discharge1. Disinfection unit (UV) option.Primary treatment usually consisting of a septic tank equipped with a com-mercial effluent filter and providing a minimal hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 36 hours at mean daily flow. A grease trap must also be used upstream of the septic tank for some commercial projects (ex.: restaurants).Equalization and dosing tank providing 12-hour HRT for commercial/insti-tutional applications and 8.5-hour HRT for community applications. For the EcoflexTM operating in a recirculation loop, the ammonia is first converted into nitrates inside the EcoflexTM media. The nitrates are then recirculated in the equalization and dosing tank where, under anoxic conditions, they are transformed in gaseous nitrogen (denitrification).
