System Design:
• Aeration Chamber
• Clarifier Chamber (Quiet Zone)
How It Works:
Wastewater flows directly into the aeration chamber, where air is pumped in to keep the water mixed and supply oxygen. This oxygen helps aerobic bacteria grow and break down the waste. The mixing action keeps solids suspended so they can be treated properly. The returning sludge gives the water in this chamber a brown color, which is a sign of active treatment.
After aeration, the water flows into the clarifier chamber, where it becomes still and solids settle at the bottom to form sludge. The sludge contains bacteria that help treat incoming wastewater, so it’s sent back to the aeration chamber to keep the system working efficiently. The clean water on top, known as effluent, is safe for discharge according to local rules.
The CajunAire™ Basic system is valued for its simplicity, low cost, and reliable performance in treating residential wastewater.
