Engineering & Technical Specifications Peat Fiber Biofilter The Puraflo Process 1. Collection Sewage flows from the home or facility into a watertight septic tank. The solids settle and the liquid effluent flows by gravity through a commercial effluent filter to a pump basin/tank. 2. Treatment The liquid effluent is timed dosed at specific intervals into the Puraflo modules, where it is distributed evenly onto the biofibrous peat media. A combination of biological, chemical, and physical processes treat the effluent as it filters through the peat fiber media. 3. Dispersal or Water Reuse Puraflo Peat Fiber Biofilter Module ______________________ Made from UV resistant HDPE _________________________ Media lasts ~15 years _________________________ High lignin Irish peat fiber _________________________ Lid design provides full access _________________________ Multiple lid colors available _________________________ Treated effluent emerges from the Puraflo modules and disperses either into a gravel pad directly below the modules or is collected for dispersal by other methods, including gravel trenches, LPP, drip irrigation or other dispersal methods. Effluent is suitable for reuse. Chemical or UV disinfection may be required.
