These Level IV effluent-producing systems require no electrical parts or washed stone, offering simplified installation while maintaining high treatment standards. The aerobic and anaerobic bacterial processes within specialized pipes ensure effective wastewater purification through natural biological treatment.
Stormwater Management
GRAF stormwater systems combine underground detention tanks and filtration packages to manage runoff while reducing municipal water costs. The Ecobloc Smart modules provide triple storage capacity compared to traditional gravel systems, featuring durable German-engineered construction with 50+ year service life. Customizable configurations handle HS-25 loading standards for commercial applications.
