Technical 'ata Sheet <br />Universal Biotube' Pum Vaults °� <br />orn��o.m, <br />Ircwporete <br />p d <br />900-348-ON3 <br />For use with Orenco 44n. Submersible Effluent Pumps <br />Applications <br />Orenco Biotube® Pump Vaults are used to filter effluent that is <br />pumped from septic tanks or separate dosing tanks in STEP <br />systems and onsite wastewater treatment systems. They remove <br />two-thirds of suspended solids, on average. Pump vaults house a <br />Biotube effluent filter and one or two Orenco high -head effluent <br />pumps <br />Biotube Pump Vaults can be used in single -compartment septic <br />tanks with flows up to 40 gpm. For flows greater than 40 9em, <br />Orenco recommends a double -compartment septic tank or sepa- <br />rate dosing tank. <br />Suppo <br />pip <br />External flov <br />induce <br />Inle <br />hole. <br />Side view <br />General <br />The Orenco Biotube Pump Vault includes a molded polyethylene <br />housing with an internal Biotube filter cartridge constructed <br />of polypropylene and PVC. Schedule 80 PVC support pipes are <br />included to suspend the vault in a tank opening. "Earlessrr 68 -inch <br />vaults, which rest on the bottom of the tank instead of on sup- <br />port pipes, are also available. The filter cartridge can be removed <br />without pulling the pump or the vault Effluent enters through inlet <br />holes around the perimeter of the Biotube vault and flows through <br />the Biotubes to the external flow inducer. The external flow <br />inducer accommodates one or two pumps. Orenco Biotube Pump <br />Vaults are covered by U.S. patents #4,439,323 and 5,492,635. <br />Standard Models <br />PVU57-1819, PVU68-2419, PVU84-2419, PVU95-3625. <br />Nomenclature <br />PVU <br />0-Fil 54-5:1 <br />iI Support pipe longtK <br />3lank = standard, tor 24""mm) riser <br />L = long, for 30" (750 mm) riser <br />NB = ru support pipe bracket (eadess) <br />Intel hole helght standard: <br />13"(330 mm) <br />19" (482 mm) <br />25'(635 mm) <br />Cartridge height, standard: <br />18" (457 mm) <br />24" (610 mm) <br />36" (914 mm) <br />Vault heigl:^: <br />57" (1448 mm) <br />68" 0 727 mm) <br />72"0 829 mm) <br />B4"(2134 mm <br />j <br />95" (2413 mm <br />� <br />or custom spetlficatlon <br />Blblube• Sher mesh: <br />Blank =118" (3.2 mm) mesh <br />P =1116" (1.6 mm) mash <br />I universal Pump Vauh <br />LLsYom heights from 42" to 135" ava5able <br />Materials of Construction <br />Support pipe: <br />Schedule 80 PVC <br />Biotubell vault: <br />Polyethylene <br />Biotube filter cartridge: <br />Polypropylene/PVC <br />Float stem: <br />Schedule 40 PVC <br />© 2010 Orenco Systems' Inc.
