PROCESS DESCRIPTION
1. Sedimentation Chamber
This chamber is designed to physically separate solids
from the incoming water. Scum is the oating material and
sludge is the material that has settled at the bottom.
2. Anaerobic Chamber
This chamber contains a spherical skeleton-type lter
media, 4.3 inch diameter (109 mm). Through bacterial
growth processes on the surface of the lter media,
biological anaerobic treatment thrives while suspended
solids are captured. Furthermore, the microorganisms
in this chamber convert nitrates in the recirculated water
returning from the aerobic chamber to gaseous nitrogen.
The gaseous nitrogen then escapes to the atmosphere.
3. Aeration Chamber
The aeration chamber consists of an aerated upper section
and a lter media lower section. The chamber is lled with
hollow, cylindrical lter media, 0.6 inch diameter (15 mm)
and 0.55 inches long (14 mm). Biological treatment takes
place on the lter media surface. Aeration is continuous.
Residual suspended solids are captured by the lter media
circulating in this section. During normal operation, a
recirculation line transfers water back to the sedimentation
chamber.
The lter media in the aeration chamber are backwashed
regularly (twice a day, 5 or 10 minute cycle) by the
backwash system located at the bottom of the chamber.
The accumulated sludge is transferred back into the
sedimentation chamber for further digestion.
4. Storage Chamber
This chamber is designed to temporarily store treated water
exiting the aeration chamber. This treated water is ready for
discharge.
The complete wastewater treatment system will typically consist of
the Fusion
®
treatment components and a soil absorption eld for nal
disposal of the liquid efuent. Some states or counties may require the
addition of a septic tank before the Fusion
®
to increase the sedimentation
chamber capacity and retain more solids. Please see Figure 11 for a
typical Fusion
®
system. Variations to the typical system will be made
to suit your particular site and system design needs. Please contact
your authorized Fusion
®
installer or maintenance provider for further
information about your system design.

The Fusion
®
treatment unit utilizes an electronic, dual-port blower
designed specically for use with this system. The blower consists
of a linear motor and two diaphragms to generate the air ow
necessary to aerate and recirculate water within the system. This
style of blower is quieter and more efcient than traditional rotary
vane compressors. Once installed and adjusted, circuitry within the
blower will automatically switch the unit from normal recirculation
mode to backwash mode and back again when appropriate. In the
event of a power outage, the blower will stop, but a backup battery
within the unit will retain the correct time and backwash settings.
