It appears to be a combination of aerobic and the conventional anaerobic systems. Except for seasonal dwellings, it appears to be a relatively high-maintenance system with the added necessity of constant electricity.

There are several aerobic systems at my Florida location, both above ground and below ground. They are noisy outside.

If you install one on an island, be sure to have it placed downwind.
How is that different from a $2000 stainless steel macerator? I have to pump sewer 200' up and 350' back from the house on the lake. Standard leach and septic design for 4 BR. Leach drains into a dry well in case the ground gets too saturated. Twice, NH DES put strong dye solution into my toilet to check out system. No problems.
