The Pirana technology is a proprietary variant for aerobic bacteria treatment of organic waste. There are specific differences in the process when compared to other aerobic treatment systems. The Pirana is not designed to specifically reduce organic load (waste) in septic tanks though it is particularly efficient at doing so. It is designed to propagate a special group of bacteria species that will dramatically reduce or completely remove biomat clogging in soils of a disposal field. The inoculation process, enabled by the unique design of the Pirana unit (the technology), selects for the development within the Pirana unit of a preferred group of bacteria species, generically referred to as facultative (survive with or without atmospheric oxygen), that colonize the fixed film matrix within the Pirana unit. These facultative bacteria species are not found in other aerobic treatment processes in sufficiently large communities to be of value in the post septic tank treatment process. These preferred bacteria species are more efficient at degrading and removing organic waste. Additionally, they are capable of continuing the treatment process after leaving the septic tank or containment whether they are in an aerobic or anaerobic environment, but most importantly, they consume biomat in the clogged soils of the disposal field, restoring failed disposal fields to proper function due to biomat clogging of disposal field soils. Depending on the application and installation, there is a chemical signature that indicates the success of the inoculation process that is distinctly different from the chemical signature in other aerobic treatment processes. The unique design of the Pirana unit is critical to the development of these preferred bacteria species. Prior to the development of the Pirana unit, these bacteria species had not been a factor in aerobic treatment processes in part because of the limited availability of atmospheric oxygen in a liquid environment. The unique design of the Pirana unit provides an “atmospheric like” oxygen environment within the Pirana unit that is critical for the development of a sufficiently large community of these preferred bacteria species to affect the treatment process, while submerged within the liquid effluent of any septic tank or containment. The airlift design is hyper efficient at circulating liquid within any vessel or containment. A residential Pirana unit circulates more than 20,000 gpd of liquid through the unit when provided with the minimum designed psi and cfm of air. The modular design of the Pirana technology allows for the system to be installed in any new or existing treatment system. The modular design allows for the addition, removal or relocation of Pirana units to achieve any treatment goal.
