SINGULAIR® SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Rivaling the performance of the most advanced wastewater The aerator has been specifically designed for use in the treatment plants in the world, the Singulair system complies Singulair system and includes special alloy and molded with USEPA wastewater treatment guidelines for secondary plastic parts to prolong aerator life. Aerator bearings are treatment systems and meets all requirements of NSF/ANSI pre-lubricated and sealed. Singulair aerators are installed Standard 40. In ecologically sensitive areas, the most in a concrete mounting casting above the aeration chamber.

BIO-STATIC® SLUDGE RETURN
Each Bio-Static sludge return is installed in the aeration/clarification chamber wall. Aeration chamber hydrauliccurrents enter the sludge return(s) and transfer solids fromthe clarification chamber back to the aeration chamber foradditional treatment. The Bio-Static sludge returnaccomplishes resuspension and return of settled solidswithout disturbing the contents of the clarification chamber.

Equalization reduces incoming Manufactured as an efficient and dependable means to hydraulic surges (e.g. typical shower of 10 minutes duration, chemically neutralize both free and combined chlorine, bathtub discharge of 5 minutes duration, clothes washer Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets provide consistent discharge of 2 minutes duration and dishwasher discharge reduction or elimination of chlorine residual without of 2 minutes duration) throughout the system. The flow unnecessarily reducing the level of dissolved oxygen in the equalization provided by the Bio-Kinetic system causes treatment system effluent. Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination wastewater to be held upstream of the final outlet during tablets utilize a unique chemical mixture for chlorine hydraulic surges, which preserves treatment integrity and reduction and environmental protection. As liquid passes enhances system operation. The actual rate of equalization through the final discharge zone of the Bio-Kinetic system, varies and depends upon specific loading patterns and the the flow contacts the installed Bio-Neutralizer tablets and duration of each flow surge. At the design loading pattern residual chlorine is removed from the system effluent.

SINGULAIR® SERVICE PROGRAM
Semi-annual service inspections, at six month intervals for the first two years of system operation, are provided by your localNorweco distributor and are included in the original purchase price of the Singulair system. Costs for travel and labor are notcharged to the owner. During an inspection, each mechanical aerator, Bio-Kinetic system and other plant components areserviced as outlined in the Singulair Product Manual. After the initial two year service program is completed, the local serviceprovider will provide continued service at the owner's option. The service program should be renewed by the owner to insuremaximum system performance.
Ask your Singulair service provider about a renewable service contract. If you allow service coverage to expire, you can stillobtain the professional assistance of a factory-trained technician. However, these special service calls will be performed on atime and materials basis. Professional service is important to proper system operation and should not be allowed to lapse. Besure to consider the advantages of a renewable service contract.
