A septic blower is a lifeline of any aerobic treatment system. Without it, the system cannot function the way it should. A septic tank is an underground sedimentation tank that is used for wastewater treatment through biological decomposition and drainage. During this treatment process, septic tanks use microorganisms to process the waste. These microorganisms are friendly to use as they eat up the harmful pathogens that processed waste carries before releasing into the outer environment.
There are two types of bacteria present in a septic system that processes waste – aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic bacteria need oxygen and are approximately 20 times more proactive and effective than anaerobic bacteria, which don’t need oxygen. In a conventional septic system, the bacteria in the tank are anaerobic. To eliminate the formation of anaerobic bacteria, a septic blower is used. It ensures the proper release of the aerobic elements in a septic tank, which further helps provide a better break down of toxic anaerobic materials in the treatment.
The anaerobic microorganisms flourish because of the unoxygenated environment. However, to restrain the formation, a septic aerator pump converts the conventional septic system into a small-scale wastewater treatment facility that breathes in the air into a holding chamber and kills anaerobic bacteria. The air coming into the system promotes aerobic bacteria development as they grow with the increased oxygen levels. This bacterium breaks down the wastewater and kills the harmful pathogens by eating them. As a result, they produce an effluent, odorless discharge that is harmless to the environment.
Thus, before buying a septic blower, it is crucial to take into account several factors. Let’s discuss it further-
Checklist To Follow
- Check Performance Level- When looking for a new septic blower, examine and evaluate various technologies available in the market. Most popular ones being diaphragm blowers and piston blowers. Diaphragm blowers are the most popular units so far in Australia with all major AWTS systems like Biocycle, Envirocycle, Taylex, Econocycle, Everhard etc having used Gardner Denver Thomas diaphragm blowers. These were earlier being called Elmo Rietschle Thomas LP80HN blowers. Other industry popular brand is Techno Takatsuki Hiblow Blowers. Hiblow most popular HP80 Aerator has a very large installation base in NSW and QLD. Nitto Kohki Model LA80B has increased in popularity recently due to its lesser cost of operation as it does not need diaphragm replacement at regular intervals.
- Check Size- The size of your air blower is crucial because every system does not use the same size. You can find many different types and sizes of air blowers for your waste-water treatment facility. You can determine its size by the volume of water in the tank. It also depends on the style of air diffusers in the tank and how many gallons of water the system is designed to treat every day. Over the years many manufacturers have used septic blowers with capacity varying from 60 Lit/min to 100 Litres/min for domestic wastewater treatment systems. However capacity of 80 Litres/min is most popular.
- Power requirements- In today’s world with energy prices sky-rocketing, power consumed by blowers need special consideration .Looking at this industry requirement, Hiblow introduced their model XP80 blower which consumes only 58 Watts of power as against Hiblow HP80 which consumes around 71Watts. Similarly Thomas introduced their energy efficient Model AP80 which consumes around 51 Watts as against 80 Watts for Thomas LP80HN aerator pump.
- Maintenance- While there are multiple benefits of setting up a septic blower system, there are numerous mechanical parts that comes along with it. Due to this, you’ll have to have to repair and maintain the system periodically. The frequency of the maintenance heavily depends on the amount of waste that is being processed by your system. So, make sure to set up the maintenance schedule before making the purchase.Replacing inlet filter is very crucial to operation of wastewater treatment blower. Due to nature of technology adopted, regular replacement of diaphragm kit is requited or piston kit in Nitto Piston blowers.
- Do Your Research- Before buying a septic blower, it is important to understand your requirements. There are different types and makes to consider. Noise levels, and the airflow requirements of the septic blower are essential factors to keep in mind. Thus, every model of the septic air blower has its pros and cons, and the most crucial thing is that you find a model most perfect for your septic tank.
- Monitor The Strength- It is necessary to keep in mind that if the pump is stronger than your requirements, then the septic system could distress the tank’s waste. This activity could result in the flushing of solids into the drain-field, resulting in problems with the system. Make sure to check the rated pressure before purchasing the product.
