The SeptiTech® STAAR™ (Smart Trickling Anaerobic/Aerobic Recirculation) Commercial Filter Systems utilize a biopack plastic media to treat high organic loads that integrate with other technologies and accessories. The simple, automatic and reliable equalization and clarification process of the STAAR™ biological trickling filter technology also maintains low levels of Nitrate-N with all below-grade components that fit in readily available concrete, plastic or fiberglass tanks. The “Smart” controller of the STAAR™ systems recognizes situations dealing with peak, low, intermittent or no flow conditions. SeptiTech’s “Smart” technology allows the system to go into a sleep mode that will dial down activity and eventually shut all power off until normal flow conditions are detected. This allows the STAAR™ system to achieve lower operating costs and power requirements. Additional features are also available to further enhance quality and dependability.
Utilizing an enhanced, biological, unsaturated media filter process, the SeptiTech® STAAR™ System is ETV-EPA verified and NSF/ANSI Standard 40/245 certified. With a disinfection system and a low-impact technology for irrigating plants (or other non-potable use), the patented SeptiTech® STAAR™ trickling filter systems are designed for direct discharge or water reuse in mind.
