Description: Cromaglass Corporation manufactures a variety of models of wastewater treatment systems which are designed as Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR). This allows all incoming wastes to be treated by timed sequences within a single vessel as opposed to the conventional continuous flow activated sludge systems which require several treatment vessels. Cromaglass is currently marketing a recycle/reuse system which produces an effluent usable for landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. These Cromaglass treatment systems have been shown to reduce BOD and suspended solids over 96%, and are approvable by the department for stream discharge permits, on sites where conventional septic systems cannot be permitted, and where land development may not be allowed.
