Whether you need wastewater collection, decentralized wastewater treatment systems, greywater treatment systems or all of the above, Orenco has your answer.
Since 1981, Orenco Systems, Incorporated, has researched, designed and manufactured wastewater collection systems and innovative onsite and decentralized wastewater treatment technologies. Our solutions include liquid-only wastewater collection systems, advanced secondary treatment systems, watertight fiberglass and DCPD tanks, and in-tank pumping and filtration systems. We also manufacture high-quality standard, custom, and OEM controls, along with state-of-the-art fiberglass buildings, and enclosures.
Orenco's PrelosLiquid-Only Sewer provides resilient, secure, economically sustainable sewer infrastructure. Prelos Sewers can replace gravity sewer and grinder pump systems, especially in septic-to-sewer projects. Typically, no lift stations are required in this scalable solution that can be "surgically" deployed to new and existing homes.
Orenco's AdvanTex® Treatment Systems were developed for the long-term processing of domestic- and commercial-strength wastewater, as well as greywater, to advanced treatment levels using passive processes with very low energy consumption. The heart of all AdvanTex systems is a multiple-pass, packed-bed, fixed-film media filter that reliably provides high-quality effluent in a wide range of applications. These systems have undergone numerous national and international testing protocols, as well as multiple third-party field verification programs.

EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
PREPARATION
Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Field Inspection: Coordinate field inspection in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01, the "Force Main Components and Testing" Article, the "Support, Training, Testing, and Oversight" Article, and the "Prelos Sewer Installation Checklist" Article.
Manufacturer's Services: Coordinate manufacturer's services in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
Support, Training, Testing, and Oversight:
Installation and Field-Testing Training:
Manufacturer will provide the services of a trained representative for one eight-hour day at beginning of construction.
Representative will instruct regarding proper installation and field-testing of sewer units per Manufacturer's recommendations and requirements.
The representative or inspector will inspect and submit an inspection checklist report for the first complete installation.
Subsequent installations will not commence until the first installation is inspected and accepted by Engineer.
Quality Control:
Manufacturer will provide services of a trained representative for a minimum of one eight-hour day for purpose of quality control during construction.
Equipment and materials to perform testing is responsibility of Contractor.
Inspector: Will inspect and certify an initial installation of each sewer unit is in compliance with Manufacturer's recommendations and requirements, using the form provided in the "Prelos Sewer Installation Checklist" Article.
The completed inspection checklist must be signed by Inspector and copies faxed, emailed, or mailed to Engineer and Manufacturer within one week of each Prelos Sewer unit being installed and prior to system commissioning.
Upon Completion of Inspection: Inspector, in coordination with Engineer, will perform or direct Contractor to perform any required adjustments to equipment and place it into operation under supervision of Engineer.
System Commissioning:
Manufacturer will provide the services of a trained representative for training the Owner's service provider, and, when directed, randomly inspecting sewer installations throughout the project.
Inspection will include items covered in the "Prelos Sewer Installation Checklist" Article, as well as the Prelos package, wiring, and control panel placement.
Equipment and materials required to perform additional testing shall be the responsibility of Contractor.
Manufacturer will provide the services of a trained representative for a minimum of one (1) eight-hour day for the purpose of system commissioning.
Upon system commissioning, the Manufacturer's trained representative will provide Engineer a written report of findings.
Engineer will then perform or direct Contractor to perform any required adjustments to equipment and place it into operation.
TANK TESTING
Tank Testing:
Demonstrate Watertightness: Each tank must be field-tested for watertightness.
During installation, backfill each tank to just below the mid-seam flange. Then fill tank with water to a level 2 inch (50 mm) into riser.
Inspect tank for leaks after two hours, or as required by local rules.
There is to be no drop in liquid level and no visual leakage from seams, pinholes, or other imperfections.
Tank will not be accepted if there is any leakage over the two-hour period.
Once tank has passed field test, drop water level in tank to a level below tank invert, but not below mid-seam.
Successfully withstand an above-ground static hydraulic test when individually tested to Manufacturer's specifications.

Lids: Model FLD30G DuraFiber or Engineer-approved equal.
Finish: Green non-skid finish.

Riser and Lid Combination: Sealed for watertightness and able to support a 2500 lb (1136 kg) wheel load.
Force Main Testing: Adhere rigorously to hydrostatic testing procedures and requirements.
Allowable AWWA leakages should be the maximum, not to be exceeded. Zero leakage is the goal.
Hydrostatic Test Procedure:
Fill line with water to expel air.
Pressurize to desired pressure at lowest point.
Hold for two hours to plus or minus plus or minus 5 psi (34 kPa) of test pressure.
Accurately record time, pressure readings, and amount of leakage.
For further details, refer to AWWA C600 Section 4.
Allowable Leakage (L): For push-on or mechanical joints, in liters per hour.
L = (SD*P^1/2)/133200
S = Length of pipe tested in feet
D = Nominal pipe diameter in inches.
P = Average test pressure, psi, at lowest location on test section.
Portions of line that are critical or suspect should be left exposed throughout hydrostatic test to allow visual inspection.
Leaks Detected Visually: Repair regardless of test results.
The use of dye during initial filling and testing of a mainline section makes isolating leaks much easier, especially in areas with high ground water.
Check-valve failure in service lines is difficult to diagnose and may misrepresent mainline integrity.
Close service line connections until mainline testing is completed.
Accurate records must be kept ensuring service line connections have been opened after mainline system has been approved.
Avoid testing lengthy line segments.
Lengthy line segments may pass leakage test, yet still have an excessive isolated leak which could be a problem.
Testing shorter line segments reduces this possibility and more readily isolates any leaks.
Best practice is to limit the test segment length to 12,000/D, where "D" is the diameter in inches and the length of segment is in feet.
Air must be purged from line section prior to hydrostatic testing. Failure to do so may give misleading test results, possibly causing a section of line to appear to fail the test.
