WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM WITH SERVICE PRO® CONTROL CENTER
INTRODUCTION
The Hydro-Kinetic Green system is the finest wastewater
treatment technology available. It is a sound investment that
protects you and the environment. Please take the time to
familiarize yourself with the contents of this manual.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Developed to serve homes and small businesses outside of
city sewers, the Hydro-Kinetic Green system uses the
extended aeration process to treat wastewater and features
innovative nitrification-denitrification technology. Wastewater
enters the pretreatment chamber where gravity combines with
anaerobic bacterial action to precondition the waste before it
flows into the anoxic chamber. Once in the anoxic chamber,
facultative anaerobes digest organic matter. Flow then enters
the aeration chamber where aerobic bacteria biologically
convert the waste into stable substances and oxidize
ammonia into nitrite and nitrate. Following aeration, liquids
flow to the clarification chamber where gravity settles out
biologically active material.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
Hydro-Kinetic Green tanks and
risers are constructed of rotationally
molded, UV-stabilized, high-density
polyethylene. Integrally molded
treatment chamber walls and
structural support ribs ensure
durability and maximum strength.
Lids are injection molded, heavy-
duty, glass-filled polypropylene.
All components within the system
that will contact the wastewater are
constructed entirely of molded
plastic, stainless steel, cast iron, or
rubber.
The Model A100 and Model A150
air pumps have been designed
specifically for the Hydro-Kinetic
Green system. Delivering a
continuous supply of air to ensure
proper mixing and oxidation of the
organic material, these air pumps
use 50% to 78% less energy than
most major appliances. The
recirculation pump operates on a
preset run cycle to enssure proper
system operation.
OWNER'S MANUAL
The treatment system is supplied with a prewired electrical control
center contained in a NEMA-rated enclosure. The control center
contains a power switch and factory-programmed logic to monitor and
control air pump and recirculation pump operation.The local dealer's
name, address, and telephone number are displayed on the control
center cover. All system controls and necessary owner information
are conveniently located at your fingertips.
Non-mechanical flow equalization is provided in the clarifier by the
patented flow equalization device. Effluent polishing, ultraviolet
disinfection, and chemical treatment are available options. All Hydro-
Kinetic Green components work together to enssure complete
pretreatment, aeration, and clarification, denitrification.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The Hydro-Kinetic Green system completed two consecutive
NSF/ANSI Standard 40 and 245 certifications without routine service.
When a UV disinfection system is included, the system is certified by BNQ to Standard
3680-600 Class B-IV, D-III, N-I and Standard 3680-910 Class V, averaging 2 CFU/100 ml
effluent fecal coliform. With both the Phos-A-Fade filter and UV disinfection system, the
system is certified by BNQ to Standard 3680-600 Class B-IV, D-III, N-I, P-II and Standard
3680-910 Class IV & V.
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The system is designed to treat only domestic wastewater generated from a typical
residence. This includes flows originating from bathtubs, clothes washers, dishwashers,
mop basins, service sinks, shower stalls, sinks and water closets. While the use of bio-
degradable detergents is recommended, the system has been designed to handle any
reasonable amount of bathroom, kitchen or laundry waste.
The system is rated Class I,
averaging 2.0 mg/L CBOD, 2.0
mg/L TSS and 8.7 mg/L TN for
the first 6-month evaluation. The
second 6-month averages are 1.8
mg/L CBOD, 1.6 mg/L TSS and
7.0 mg/L TN, for an overall 12-
month test average of 2.0 mg/L
CBOD, 2.0 mg/L TSS and 7.9
mg/L TN. The system is certified
by BNQ to Standard 3680-600
Class B-IV, D-I, N-I and Standard
3680-910 Class IV, averaging
effluent quality of 3.0
CBOD, 2.0 mg/L TSS, 67%
Nitrogen removal and
CFU/100 ml fecal coliform. When
a Phos-A-Fade filter is included,
the system is certified by BNQ to
Standard 3680-600 Class B-IV,
D-I, N-I, P-II and Standard 3680-
910 Class IV, averaging 0.14
mg/L effluent Total Phosphorus.
