AHSTP is basically a miniature version of a city sewage treatment plant Taylex are leaders in the HSTP field because we use the same materials that city treatment plants use concrete stainless steel and brass all the proven products that better withstand the ravages of raw sewage 3 HOW DO THEY WORK A HSTP is a living organism There are trillions of living bacteria that make the system operate effectively The HSTP imitates nature by using the naturally occurring bacteria that you and your household provide as partof your daily lifestyle We provide them with oxygen and a happy home environment to breed and work properly 4 WHAT DO THEY NEED A FOOD SOURCE Which is your natural household waste That is everything you use in your house that goes into your drains kitchen laundry toilet shower etc Too much food will kill the bacteria in the same manner that over fertilizing a plant will kill it So garbage disposal home brew kits etc are notgood forthem AIR Your HSTP requires an air source Air is injected into your HS TP to keep the bacteria populated much in the same way an air pump works in a fish tank If you were to have 10 fish in a small tank with an air pump operating in it the system would have enough oxygen to support the tank life and keep it healthy Turn off the air pump and there would not be enough oxygen in the water and the fish and plants would slowly die Your HSTP works on the same principal It re

8. f 13 HOW DOES YOUR TAYLEX SYSTEM ACTUALLY WORK There are four stages to a Taylex treatment system Primary anaerobic digestion and sedimentation Aerobic biological oxidation of primary effluent Chlorination to destroy pathogens bacteria viruses Nutrient removals by way oftranspiration and evaporation In the first stage the breakdown of solids is performed by a bacteria known as anaerobic bacteria which thrives without oxygen and light within the primary treatment chamber septic tank section In time most ofthe solids will decompose or break up others will not and these collect at the bottom of the tank as sludge In the second stage effluent from the primary stage still contains dangerous substances which are attached to by aerobic bacteria Aerobic bacteria requires oxygen for there continued existence The bacteria grow on filter media which is aerated Bacteria in this chamber attack the dangerous substances in the liquid uniting it with the oxygen to form harmless nitrates In stage three the effluent passes through over solid chlorine tables into and effluent storage chamber where any last bacteria and or viruses are destroyed Stage four is accomplished by an automatic pump that distributes the effluent to the irrigated area Irrigation areas vary from state to state ad shire to shire Taylex Industries Pty Ltd HOME OWNERS INSTRUCTION Compact Series Controller Mode
