1. Upflow sand filter

Using gravity technology
of sand, the direction of
flow of the rawwateris
upwards through the filter
bed. Backwashing is done
by abrupt reversal of the
flow direction. The effect
of the filter depends on
the type of the filter
medium, the filtration
rate, and possible
preceding aeration or
addition of a coagulant.
For coarse organic and
inorganic substances, the
filter may act as a simple
screen. Or else it may
retain precipitated iron
compounds.~At low
filtration rates and

PROCESS

Raw water enters near the bottom

of the tank by means of a stainless
steel water distributor.Suspended
solids are filtered out as the raw
water flows up through the media
bed.As the filtrate reaches the top
of the filter, it passes over the
effluent weir and is discharged. A
portion of the filtrate is diverted
through the sand washer and used
for cleaning and transferring the
waste solids.
The Sand filter employs a
backwash rinse that is performed
continually while the tank is
processing water.An air lift pump,
located at the centre of the
module, draws the media from the
bottom of the filter up into the
wash box. As the media is
released into the wash box, it falls
into the sand scrubber where the
filtered solids are separated from

Due to the impact dense of stilts of the house, we purposed to install the
air flown system at the edge or corner of each house instead of beneath
the house.

2. VACUUM SEPTIC TANK

A septic tank is designed to provide what is known
as primary treatment to crude wastewater
produced in a normal domestic environment. It
retains solids and allows them to settle out, where
they can be partially broken down by biological
action so that only the remaining liquor is left to
flow down the outlet drain. This liquor (normally
called effluent) is then sufficiently treated to soak
into the ground in an underground soak away
system.

HOW TO INSTALL IN WET LAND?

LAYOUT

A site is defined as being wet when ground water rises above the base of the tank. At no time should
water table/ground water conditions result in water levels above the base of the turret of the tank. Excavation should allow for a
minimum of 200mm space all round the tank and 150mm below the tank. Where difficult ground conditions are encountered, ie in
unstable ground or shrinking clay etc, it will also be necessary to allow for an additional depth (as much as deemed necessary by the
supervising) engineer) to be excavated below the tank to allow
for hardcore and sand blinding to provide a firm base for the concrete bed.
In poor soil conditions it is essential to make substantial provision for planking and strutting and temporary shuttering and to provide
for adequate
