FITT-ee® Energy Efficient Wastewater Treatment Systems

The FITT-ee® product line was created with energy efficiency (“ee”) in mind. The FITT-ee systems operate on the same principles as the traditional FAST line, but with cost effective treatment, requiring less electrical power.

• RetroFITT-ee® — Equivalent to the RetroFAST®, but with lower energy consumption
• MicroFITT-ee® — Equivalent to the MicroFAST®, but with lower energy consumption

An above-grade blower – the only moving part in the treatment process – pushes air into the airlift, which produces robust recirculation of oxygenated water throughout the submerged media.

The oxygenated water supports the growth of useful microorganisms on the surface of the media. These attached-growth microorganisms break down the organic material in the wastewater.

Microbial growth on the media surface is sloughed off by the vigorous aeration provided by the airlift. The excess solids settle out of the media to the bottom of the tank, where they are stored for intermittent removal.

Treated effluent leaves the module through a built-in baffle into the receiving environment.
