Section 2. Treatment Process Overview
Fuji Clean’s “contact filtration” treatment is a simple, well engineered process that consists of a controlled, circuitous
flow train through anaerobic and aerobic chambers and in direct contact with assorted proprietary fixed film medias
on which biological digestion of organic matter occurs. Media is also designed and positioned to provide mechanical
filtration of process wastewater.
The system includes two air lift pumps (see diagram below) The Recirculating Airlift Pump returns process water and
sludge from the aerobic zone to the sedimentation chamber, recirculating 2-4 times inflow per day for CE models and
4-6 times inflow for CEN (enhanced denitrification) models. The Effluent Airlift Pump is designed to help equalize flow
and discharge treated effluent.

pump info below).
Airlift Pumps. This generic illustration
shows the mechanics of the “airlift
pumps” used in this system, which are
simple pipe conduits through which
pressurized air (from blower) is
introduced at the bottom and by fluid
pressure, water is carried up the pipe
by ascending bubbles.
Flow Equalization
When water level
exceeds LWL, treated
water is discharged
through Chamber 3B
via the Effluent Air Lift
pump. If water level
exceeds HWL, then
treated water is also
discharged through an
overflow effluent weir.
Overflow Effluent Weir
During treatment,
water level fluctuates
between high and
low water levels

System Components - Alarm / Control Panel
NEMA 4X rated, the Alarm/Control Panel monitors tank water level and blower operation. An audible
horn and red beacon light will activate in the event of either a tank high water condition or if the
blower ceases to operate (causing a drop in air pressure). Please note: upgraded controllers with
telecommunication, alarm tracking and data logging capabilities are available.
A 3-way toggle switch (Test-Normal-Silence) allows check for proper operation by toggling the side
panel switch to “Test” mode. When switch is released, it will return to normal operation.
In the event of an alarm condition the “Silence” switch may be engaged to silence the audible alarm.
The beacon will continue to flash until normal operation is restored and the alarm will reset. If a new
alarm condition occurs, the “Silence” mode will expire and the unit’s horn will begin sounding again.
All conduits between panel and treatment tank must be sealed to prevent gas leakage into panel.
Fuji Clean USA offers a choice of customized alarm/control panels, each with different features.
Control panel customization is also available to match unique site or job requirements. Please consult
Fuji Clean USA for details.
