Aerobic Treatment Unit Installation

Aerobic Treatment Unit Installation in Bangor

When a conventional gravity drainfield will not pass, an aerobic treatment unit is often the answer. Pinegenome installs oxygen fed ATUs certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 40, the systems that make small lots and difficult soils buildable around Bangor. By treating effluent to a much cleaner Class I standard before it reaches the ground, an ATU needs less soil area, which is why it fits lots where a standard system cannot. ATU systems generally run $10,000 to $20,000 installed.

Why an Aerobic System

Some Penobscot County lots simply cannot take a conventional field. A small parcel in the Broadway Historic District, a high water table near Veazie, or shallow bedrock toward Glenburn can all fail a gravity design. An aerobic unit uses an aerator to feed oxygen to the treatment process, producing cleaner effluent that a smaller or shallower drainfield can handle while still holding the required separation to groundwater.

Our Process

We run the perc test and site evaluation, confirm that an ATU is the right call, and pull the Penobscot County permit. Then we set the tank and treatment unit, wire the aerator and float controls, build the reduced drainfield, and start the system up. Because an ATU has moving parts, we set you up with a maintenance schedule and leave the as built record on file. The fixed-price quote comes in writing first.
