ABOUT FAST®
The FAST® (Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment) system uses naturally occurring bacteria (biomass) to treat sewage for
dispersal into the environment. This continuous process provides the biomass with food (waste) and air in a suitable
environment. Dead bacteria and non‐biodegradable waste settle and accumulate in the bottom of the tank for periodic
removal.
The FAST assembly consists of two components: the treatment module and blower. The blower provides air to the
system via the air supply pipe. The air supply pipe and draft tube create an airlift, which mixes oxygen and waste
throughout the media inside the tank. Bacteria, supported by air from the airlift, grows on the media and digests the
waste. Finally, a vent pipe expels vapors created by the process.
DO NOT ENTER THE SEPTIC TANK. Hazards exist in a septic system. All precautions must be
followed when inspecting the system. Keep tank openings covered at all times. Failure to do
so could result in severe sickness or death.
DO NOT use an open flame or cause a spark near a septic tank’s access points. Gases
emanating from septic tanks can explode if ignited or deadly if inhaled.
Only authorized, qualified service personnel should service a septic system; open access ports;
and/or open covers to a septic tank.
Infectious organisms exist in a septic tank. If any contact with wastewater occurs, immediately
wash and disinfect all exposed areas and contact personal physician.
