ELJEN ® THE MODULAR LEACH FIELD SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
The Eljen GSF® is primarily used for leach fields where advanced treatment is needed to meet environmental needs. It is used in bed and trench designs.
The Eljen GSF® A42 (4-feet long by 2-feet wide by 7-inches high) requires a longer, thinner trench, which can be a benefit where site restraints and hydraulic needs are a prime consideration.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ELJEN GSF® LEACH FIELD
-
Provides advanced treatment in 50% less space than aggregate systems
-
Proven reliable performance eliminates the need for complicated maintenance and maintenance contracts
-
Smaller size and streamlined design significantly reduces overall system costs
-
Long-term leaching capacity is 2 to 3 times that of similar systems
-
The only system that pre-treats leach field effluent with a patented two-stage biomat filtration process
Made from lightweight recycled material, the GSF® leach field is engineered for superior strength. The Eljen in-drain, with its pre-fabricated modular units comprised of geotextile fabric and cuspated spacer cores, provides an alternative to conventional stone and pipe or chamber leaching systems.
Substantial effluent pre-treatment occurs within the biomat which develops on the 100-square feet of geotextile fabric and the 400-square feet of cuspated core surface area in each 12-square foot type B in-drain unit.
This internal passive pre-treatment protects both the soil long-term acceptance rate (LTAR) and groundwater quality while providing reduced system trench length or leach bed footprint. At 7" thick, in-drains provide the lowest product profile, thus reducing system finished grade.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ELJEN GSF® LEACH FIELD
-
Pre-treatment of effluent via a two-stage biomat
-
Greater long-term leaching capacity maintained
-
Smaller area required than conventional systems
-
Has lower site impact and requires less off-site fill
-
Fabricated of lightweight recycled materials
-
Excellent documented long-term track record
-
10-year warranty
Laboratory analysis of treated effluent extracted from below the in-drains has confirmed Eljen's claims of substantial effluent pre-treatment (over 50% BOD reduction) provided by the biomat at the geotextile fabric and cuspated core surfaces.
In-drains installed in a 6-inch layer of washed concrete sand can provide secondary treatment for typical septic tank effluent.
