? Plants are easy to operate, as many are manned
for a maximum of two or three hours per day.
? Extended aeration processes are often better at
handling organic loading and flow fluctuations,
as there is a greater detention time for the
nutrients to be assimilated by microbes.
? Systems are easy to install, as they are shipped in
one or two pieces and then mounted on an onsite
concrete pad, above or below grade.
? Systems are odor free, can be installed in most
locations, have a relatively small footprint, and
can be landscaped to match the surrounding
area.
? Extended aeration systems have a relatively low
sludge yield due to long sludge ages, can be
designed to provide nitrification, and do not
require a primary clarifier.
