Background - Infiltrator Presby Advanced Enviro-Septic Design And Installation Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION
System Installation
Installation shall be undertaken and completed only by an advanced registered onsite wastewater treatment
system installer.
Variances
No variances shall be issued with use of the AES system while approved as an experimental system.

1.2 Background

The Advanced Enviro-Septic
Treatment System utilizes a unique combination of
components that work together to treat effluent and
prevent suspended solids from sealing the
underlying soil. Comprised of a patented corrugated,
perforated plastic pipe with interior skimmer tabs
and cooling ridges, the large-diameter pipe retains
solids while the Bio-Accelerator
fibers, and geo-textile fabric provide multiple
bacterial surfaces to treat effluent prior to its
contact with the receiving soils. The continual cycling
of effluent (the rising and falling of liquid inside the
pipe) enhances bacterial growth. The AES system is
completely passive, and yet provides increased
aeration and a greater bacterial treatment area than
traditional systems. The result is a system that is
more efficient, lasts longer, and has a virtually no
negative environmental impact.
The AES system has been successfully tested and
certified to NSF/ANSI 40, Class I (a certification
typically given to mechanical aeration devices) and
BNQ Class I, II, III standards.
Additional system benefits include:
•
requires a smaller area
•
installs easily and quickly
•
eliminates the need for environmentally impactful washed stone
•
adapts easily to residential, commercial and difficult sites
•
prevents formation of organic material at the receiving soil interface
•
safely recharges groundwater
Environmental Standards and Technical Support
All AES systems shall be designed and installed in compliance with the procedures and specifications detailed in
this Manual and in the product's state approval. In the event of contradictions between this Manual and DHSS
regulations (the Rules), PEI should be contacted for technical assistance at (800) 473-5298.
Certification Requirements
Designers and installers who have not previously attended a PEI certification course are required to obtain
certification. Certification is obtained by attending a certification course presented by PEI or its sanctioned
representative or by viewing tutorial videos on our website and then successfully passing a short assessment test.
PEI recommends professionals involved in the inspection or review of AES systems also become PEI certified.
