A and B Plumbing’s Jet Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment Plants in Park Hills, MO, employ a biological process known as “extended aeration” or “aerobic digestion.” In this process, incoming wastewater enters an aeration tank where the contents are thoroughly mixed and aerated by large volumes of air which are pumped into the tank under pressure. As the air bubbles to the surface, it transfers oxygen to the tank liquids.
Aerobic bacteria present in the activated sludge in the tank use the oxygen to convert the wastewater to inoffensive, clear, odorless liquids and gases. Sometimes, this process is referred to as “wet burning” because the bacteria actually destroy the wastewater by using oxygen, just as fire uses oxygen to burn trash.
After the treated liquid leaves Jet’s Aeration Tank, it is held in a “settling” tank,” which is completely still. Here, any partially treated particles settle to the tank bottom and are returned to the aeration tank for further treatment. This settling produces a clear, highly treated liquid that is ready for final discharge.

Virtually all authorities agree that, except for municipal plants, extended aeration is the most efficient, complete method of Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment available today. Many refinements and options can be used with extended aeration plants, especially with the larger ones. However, the basic process used in all extended aeration plants is as described here.

A Jet’s Residential Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment Plant breaks down wastes via a three-compartment tank. A Pre-Treatment Compartment receives influent, where heavy solids settle and form sludge at the bottom of the tank.
The second compartment is the Treatment Compartment. Here, wastewater is thoroughly mixed with oxygen via our 700+ aerator and passed over the living microorganisms located on Jet’s Biologically Accelerated Treatment (BAT) media. This is an exclusive process designed and developed by Jet Inc. and is more efficient than the pure activated sludge plants that Jet pioneered years ago.

Treated wastewater then flows to the Settling Compartment. A clear liquid, devoid of color and odor, known as effluent, is then discharged through the Baffled Outlet.
Clearly, a Jet Residential Plant does a whole lot more than the old-fashioned septic tanks of yesterday. A Jet Residential Plant is capable of treating 500 to 1,500 gallons of wastewater every day. That’s the size of a small swimming pool or 30 50-gallon hot water heaters, all capable of high-volume usage.
Studies show that a Jet Residential Plant operates up to five times longer than a septic tank! Also, changes in flow by weekend guests, parties, multiple baths, laundry, and dishwashing all running at once do not affect the performance of a Jet system. That’s an investment that both saves money and helps protect the environment. Jet Plants run so efficiently; they can eliminate the need for leach fields and substance filters.
Offering total pollution control for any facility built beyond sewer lines, Jet’s Package Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment Plants have made it possible for motels, shopping centers, and service stations to be constructed along interstate highways far from any town.
With a Jet Package Plant, subdivisions can be developed miles beyond sewer lines; factories can be erected in rural areas; and people can live and work in isolated areas in places, such as Guam and Peru as well as in the world’s deserts, deep valleys, and mountain ranges. Ours are time-tested and custom-designed plants that treat wastewater through the performance-proven aerobic digestion process that enables microscopic living organisms to transform wastewater into a clear, odorless liquid. We recommend using BIO JET-7® and JET-CHLOR® for environmentally safe odor-free discharge.
Detailed operating and maintenance procedures for Jet Commercial Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment Plants are given in this manual. Since Jet has pioneered many advances in Septic Systems / Waste Water Treatment devices and techniques in recent years and many of these advances are explained in this manual, seasoned operators as well as new ones should study these instructions closely and use them as a guide for operating and maintaining their Jet Plants.
Jet products deliver quality, and your established local licensed distributor has been trained in the installation, operation, and maintenance of Jet Plants. Jet quality and a conscientious operator who understands the material contained in this manual provide an unbeatable pollution control team.
