Offering versatility and consistent high performance, the FAST® are also a favorite on marine vessels and offshore platforms of all types to produce high-quality effluent, specifically designed for extreme environments.
Using MicroFAST® Systems solves most onsite wastewater treatment issues. With a small footprint, the MicroFAST system is integrated into a standard septic tank and does not require additional space. Naturally, the MicroFAST® offers higher levels of nitrogen removal (NSF/ANSI 245). With the SFR® feature, intermittent operation of the blower reduces electricity usage up to 45% and can provide improved nitrogen performance (in specific situations).

Environmental Plans (E-Plan) are prepared for facilities to provide full reports for each of the below required plans. An E-Plan can consist of the below primary components:
The E-Plans must be amended whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation or maintenance that has a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. The E-Plan also must also be revised if it proves to be ineffective in eliminating or significantly minimizing pollutants from the sources identified.
