Proven, Safe, Reliable
HighStrengthFAST® wastewater treatment systems are ideally suited for use in restaurants, schools, trailer parks, office buildings, commercial properties and other high-strength waste applications. Commercial facilities are among the most challenging projects, often having biological loading (BOD) and Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) levels that are significantly higher than standard sanitary-strength sewage. Certain applications may have additional challenges that can affect the wastewater treatment system due to the unique characteristics of a particular facility. Wastewater treatment projects should always be designed with these challenges in mind and never on flow volumes alone. HighStrengthFAST wastewater treatment systems are proven, innovative treatment products that provide robust, high-performance treatment to meet the challenges of our changing world. Dependable, affordable…FAST.

The Real Beauty of this Remarkable System is How Well it Works.
FAST® is simply great technology, based on environmentally sound and simple scientific principles. The FAST (Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment) process employs a unique hybrid combination of attached and suspended growth in an aerobic, packed bed bioreactor. This proven IFAS (Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge) combination includes the stability of fully-submerged, fixed-film media and the effectiveness of activated sludge treatment, making the innovative, patented FAST system technologically advanced and extraordinarily reliable.

Nitrogen Reduction
Nitrification and denitrification projects are much easier with FAST technology. Multiple biological, bio-chemical, chemical and physical processes occur simultaneously within the FAST wastewater treatment system. MicroFAST wastewater treatment systems have proven themselves to consistently reduce nitrogen levels – including nitrates and all other nitrogen species - at exceptionally high percentage rates.

How Does It Work?

1. HighStrengthFAST® wastewater treatment systems process the wastewater from restaurants, schools, office buildings, trailer parks and other commercial properties.

2. Natural separation and settling processes occur prior to entering the HighStrengthFAST treatment module.

3. A remote-mounted, above-ground blower, the system’s only moving part, introduces air (oxygen) into the treatment module to facilitate a robust circulation of wastewater through the media’s channeled flow path.

4. FAST’s fixed film media provides a high surface-to-volume ratio to maintain exceptional microbial growth during low, average and peak usage. Bacteria become "fixed" or attached to the stationary media where the abundant, diverse and self-regulating population of microbes is consistently maintained in the aeration zone to metabolize the incoming waste.

5. Clear, odorless, treated water is ready for standard or innovative dispersal.
