System description and Operating principle
The Ecoflo ® Peat filter system is a wastewater treatment system designed to treat domestic wastewater.
Your complete Ecoflo ® Peat filter system includes a septic tank, an effluent filter, one or more Peat Filters
and, depending on the type of installation, a pumping station and a flow divider.
System description
®
The Ecoflo Peat Filter is made of a concrete shell enclosing a
natural filtering media composed of two specific layers (bottom
and top layers) especially selected to treat residential wastewater.
Two polyethylene lids securely fastened limits the accesses to the
system. Under the main and secondary access lids is located an
insulating board that deflects the incoming air into 2 aeration
channel to feed the filtering media. That lid also insulates the
inside parts of the system.
Operating principle
To be treated, the wastewater goes first into the septic tank where it is submitted to a primary treatment. Then it goes through
the effluent filter, to prevent solids discharge to the effluent, and in the flow regulator to restrain the flow rate reaching the
® Peat Filter. Once inside the Ecoflo
Ecoflo
distribution plates located on both sides of the central support plate. These plates include channels with orifices to distribute
the effluent evenly on top of the filtering media. Afterwards, wastewater trickles down into the filtering media where its
organic content is consumed by bacteria. The treated effluent is collected in the gravel bed and evacuated by gravity (STB-
650B series) or with an integrated pump (STB-650BR series).

drainage system but the same operating principle applies.
