Advanced Onsite Wastewater Treatment AP Series

Hydro-Action AP Series for NSF Standard 40

The Hydro-Action Standard 40 system is built around the Hydro-Action® AP Series individual wastewater treatment plant. This is a self-contained, extended aeration, aerobic treatment facility utilizing the activated sludge process. It can also be used in combination with UV disinfection and chlorination. It also offers a variety of effluent dispersal management options such as drip, pump, and gravity discharge. The Hydro-Action Standard 40 meets the NSF/ANSI 40 set by the National Sanitation Foundation, a testing authority in wastewater treatment.

How the AP Series Works

Wastewater enters the system, either directly or after pretreatment through a septic or trash tank. The aeration compartment injects oxygen into the wastewater, where aerobic bacteria rapidly break down waste, ensuring a chemical-free process. The treated water then moves to the clarification compartment, where solids are separated and recirculated for further treatment, leaving clear, odorless effluent ready for disposal.

Worry-Free Wastewater Treatment

Hydro-Action is designed for simplicity and reliability, with minimal moving components and no filters to clean or maintain. The continuous aeration process ensures consistent mixing of aerobic bacteria, effectively treating wastewater without additives.

The plant consists of an engineered pre-treatment septic tank and a cylindrically shaped aeration tank with an offset service access, a unique cone shaped clarification compartment and an outlet tee-assembly. Three fine-bubble air diffuser assemblies with hard pipe diffusers and Hydro-Action® efficient air pump are combined to provide effective, efficient, and economical aeration.

The AP Series ATUs are operated by the OPS®. The OPS® integrates the electrical controls, visible and audible alarms and air pump in a protective polyethylene enclosure. The OPS® can be either platform mounted on the plant or remotely located. These features plus the offset access, airline piping, and diffuser assemblies make the plant extremely reliable and easy to service. An optional visible and audible alarm may be added to remotely locate to an area of your choice.
