BIOLOGICAL RECYCLING SYSTEM FLOW CHART
The Sump Pump (1) draws water from the Sump Pit (2) and brings it into the Inlet (6) of the Biological Recycling System.
The Inlet Flow Control Valve (5) can be used to control the flow of the water into the unit. The Biological Recycling
Tank (7) is made up of several sections that are separated by baffles and weirs. The waste water enters through the
inlet pipe bringing it to the bottom of the First Chamber (8). The waste water then moves up through the Biological
Media (9). The media packs provide a surface for the bacteria to live on. As water passes through the Biological Media
(9), the microbes feed off of the organic compounds in the water, producing by-products of carbon dioxide and water.
From the First Chamber (8), the waste water moves over the weir, into the Second Chamber (10), moving down through
the Biological Media (9), then over the final weir into the Product Tank (11). Water is then pulled from the Product
Tank (11) by the Transfer Pump (12) and moved into the Manifold (14) and Pressure Tank (18). This tank holds water
at 25-45 PSI until needed. When water is needed for washing, water is sent from the Manifold (14) to the Pressure
Washer Outlets (17). If the Product Tank (11) water level is low, water is added through the Fresh Water Makeup (13)
to the Product Tank (11). If the Biological Recycling Tank (7) water level is too high, treated water is sent through the
Rain Water Overflow (15) and disposed of. Direct fresh water can be used from the Rinse Water Outlet (16).
Microbes also need air to live; and Aeration Pump (3) moves water from the Product Tank (11) through two venturi
style Air Injectors (4) that pull air into the water. From there the air bubbles diffuse throughout the reaction chambers,
providing air for aerobic digestion.
