MicroFAST® H Septic Systems  

There is a growing worldwide concern over fresh water sources and ocean water quality. The world's population is predicted to double by 2027 and millions more people will be without access to clean water. Scientists from around the world are urging an immediate adoption of clean waste processing technologies and the development of infrastructures to protect water resources and delicately balanced ecosystems. Ampac USA offers simple and affordable solutions to reduce the ecological impact caused by the release of untreated wastewater into our rivers, lakes and oceans.

AMPAC USA FAST® Septic Systems:  have been tested and approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Canadian Great Lakes (CGL), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US Coast Guard, the US Electrical Systems, the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), European Union (CE), European Electrical Systems (including Tropical Certification), National Sanitation Foundation,  the U.K. Department Of Trade, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Australian Department Of Transportation, Royal Australian Navy, SASSO (Saudi Arabia)

Dependable, Affordable  MicroFAST®
MicroFAST® contain no submersible pumps, sewage filters or moving parts to repair or replace. All internal parts are made from durable, long lasting plastic, not subject to deterioration. All tanks and bio-filters come with full ten year warrantees. A two year complete inspection of each MicroFAST® System is included free.

MicroFAST® comes in seven sizes and capacities to provide the most cost efficient sewage treatment for each individual application. The size of the home and number of bedrooms determines the recommended model size.

The larger MicroFAST® model sizes are recommended for clusters of residences, trailer parks and subdivisions. The smallest MicroFAST® models are typically recommended for the average size home or vacation property.

MicroFAST® 
The system's only moving part, the quiet aerating blower is located above ground, in an unobtrusive pump housing that can be placed up to 100 feet away.  It needs no oil or lubrication and the reusable air intake filter is easily cleaned off twice a year

    of aerobic (oxygen requiring) micro-organisms to thrive.  This colony is referred to as a fixed biomass. The fixed biomass   

    actively consumes all biological waste.
[5] Clear and odorless, neutralized water exits MicroFAST ready for standard or innovative dispersal.

The MicroFAST Honeycomb Media provides the high surface to volume ratio to maintain exceptional biomass growth during peak, average and low usage. All organic contaminants like proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, viruses and  other toxic micro-organisms are completely consumed by the fixed biomass. The biomass remains "fixed" and "activated" within the aeration zone to consume all new incoming waste, venting only simple carbon dioxide and air.

MicroFAST® are designed for use in all configurations of residential homes, recreational dwellings and clustered housing developments. The larger MicroFAST® Septic Systems are also recommended for upgrading struggling municipal sewage treatment plants, providing affordable options versus centralized sewer systems.

Nitrogen Reduction
Nitrification and denitrification projects become simple using MicroFAST® treatment technology. The multiple biological, bio-chemical, chemical and physical processes that occur simultaneously in MicroFAST® have been proven to consistently reduce nitrogen levels, including nitrates and all nitrogen species.

MicroFAST®  Septic System Options

Above-Ground Septic Systems
For property with dense clay, heavy rock, bog or swamp where in-ground installation is not practical, we can provide any model of MicroFAST® in an above-ground configuration. Above-ground MicroFAST® come in concrete, fiberglass or steel tanks. Seen here is a MicroFAST 0.75 in a 2 chamber fiberglass tank with UV Light System.

Phosphate Reduction Units
Certain jurisdictions require that phosphate output be reduced to 1 mg/ Liter. We can provide an attachment to your MicroFAST® for this application. There are no chemicals to mix. Clean out and removal is necessary only every 15 years.

Discharge Pump Chambers
If treated wastewater is required to be discharged to a dispersal site under pressure, a pump chamber and pump are available.

Ultraviolet Light Systems
Ultraviolet systems include automatic self-monitoring systems to notify you if the UV lamp needs cleaning or replacement. With UV, the fecal coliform count can be reduced to less than 200 CFU/100ml. With a pre-filter on the UV unit, the fecal coliform count can be reduced to less than 2 CFU/100ml. Under local regulations, the neutralized water may be re-used and recycled for many non-drinking applications such as spray or drip irrigation, flushing toilets and urinals.

The FAST Honeycomb Media, receiving water mixed with fresh air from the air-lift pump, provides an ideal environment for a beneficial colony of aerobic (oxygen requiring) micro-organisms to thrive and fix to the honeycomb. The colony is referred to as a fixed biomass. Populating the honeycomb, inside the FAST bio-reactor, the biomass consumes all incoming organic matter.

The FAST® wastewater cleansing process continues as the biomass is supplied with food (new incoming waste) and oxygen from the air-lift pump. All organic contaminants including proteins, carbohydrates and lipids are completely metabolized, venting only air and carbon dioxide; and releasing only clear, odorless water.

FAST® Septic Systems are warranted and virtually maintenance free. FAST® Bio-reactor modules contain no sewage pumps, no screens, filters or moving parts to remove, replace or clean. All internal parts are made from durable, long-lasting plastic, not subject to deterioration.

Based on environmentally sound, proven scientific principles, FAST® is state-of-the-art technology. The F.A.S.T. (fixed activated sewage treatment) employs a unique hybrid combination of attached and suspended growth in an aerobic packed bed bio-reactor. The fixed-film activated sludge integration combines the stability of a fully-submerged fixed-film media along with the powerful activated sludge treatment, making FAST® Systems technologically advanced, completely reliable an extraordinarily economical.
