Septic system disposal fields generally fail due to lack of oxygen in the disposal field. Bacteria that live under these anaerobic conditions proliferate creating a clogging zone along the sides and base of the disposal field. OxyBoost delays the onset of anaerobic conditions, and the accompanying clogging in a disposal field by boosting the oxygen content in the wastewater. OxyBoost is intended to be installed in systems served by effluent pumps.

The Process

The OxyBoost consists of a rugged HDPE 9-hole distribution box enclosing a venturi and air line. The OxyBoost is installed in lieu of a conventional distribution box at the head of a subsurface disposal area where it receives septic tank effluent from the pump station.

When the effluent pump activates during its normal operation, wastewater is pumped through the OxyBoost before entering the disposal area. Inside the OxyBoost, air is drawn into the wastewater via the venturi. The oxygenated wastewater is then evenly distributed to the disposal area via the eight available outlets. The OxyBoost essentially allows a single effluent pump to both transport and aerate wastewater.

The entire unit is constructed of the highest quality components to ensure a long, useful life. The venturi and air line check valve are easily removed from the installed unit should they ever require cleaning.

The OxyBoost is an extremely cost-effective method of aerating wastewater in systems that require an effluent pump due to elevation requirements. The standard OxyBoost is designed for residential and commercial applications and is supplied with fittings for 1 1/2" to 2" pump lines. An easily concealed vent assembly is also provided.
