This classifi cation permits the use of AdvanTex as a treatment system used for the specifi c purpose of reducing CBOD5, TSS and total nitrogen in the sewage effl uent prior to discharge.
• The Orenco AdvanTex listing provides the information that regulates the necessary design requirements, minimum maintenance standards, the permitting requirements, and planning requirements for the alternate technology.
An alternate onlot sewage system is amethod of demonstrated onlot sewage treatment and disposal that is not defi ned in the regulations. (Title 25, Section 73.1)
Advanced treatment means the system has demonstrated that it can produce an effl uent which shall not exceed, 10 mg/L CBOD5 and 10 mg/L TSS as monthly averages.

The ProductOrenco’s patented AdvanTex Treatment System is a compact and effi cient recirculating packed bed fi lter- a proven, low-maintenance, and highly reliable technology. Unlike sand, peat, or foam fi lters, however, AdvanTex uses a non-woven textile material for the treatment media. Orenco has been researching and developing the textile treatment process since the mid-1990s. And Orenco has helped to evolve packed bed fi lter technology for the past 30 years.
Product Performance and Benefits
AdvanTex Textile Treatment Systems produce effl uent that exceeds “advanced” treatment standards, even under peak fl ow conditions. And because textile can handle much higher loading rates than sand or gravel media, textile fi lters are very compact units. So they require signifi cantly less land area and are easier to install than other packed bed fi lters. And they use very little energy.
Technology Verification
AdvanTex Treatment Systems have undergone third-party evaluations and have successfully passed ANSI testing protocols. Orenco’s AX20N, rated at 500 gpd, successfully passed the NSF/ANSI Standard 40 testing protocol for Class 1 Systems. The AdvanTex System has also undergone multiple third-party fi eld-testing evaluations which demonstrate its ability to perform under real life conditions. More than 20,000 AdvanTex textile fi lters have been installed in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand on all sorts of sites: single family homes, commercial properties, community systems, and government-funded and monitored testing sites.
