The system doesn’t need an underground leach field to aerate (treat) the effluent, and so there is more freedom with the kinds of land and watercourses that can be nearby. Along with staged filtering and some clever automation, this system results in dramatically-cleaner effluent to the point where you can use the output for drip irrigating a mulched ornamental garden, tree stand or bush patch.īesides being much more effective at treating wastewater, an aerobic septic system has fewer issues with placement. Thus usually the best approach involves emptying out the tank by pumping out the sludge layer accumulated at the bottom and removal of the floating scum as well.Advanced aerobic septic systems, like the Oasis Clearwater below, forcibly add air directly to the tank. ![]() For those incoming wastewater that also contain oil and grease, these will float to the top and accumulation of scum will reduce the oxygen content going to the compartment that will prevent anaerobic breakdown of the waste. Wastewater also contains other materials and settleable solids and in time these will form a think sludge cake layer collecting at the bottom of the tank. Most common problem usually involves clogging of the system with large objects through the incoming feed line and thus before passing into the center of the vault, a screen filter with large surface area is definitely needed. Maintenance of a septic tank can be minimal depending on how you construct and work on the design of the tank. In order to prevent accidental discharge and carry over of untreated solids, usually an effluent filter has to be put in place and it can be installed without causing your budget and cost allocation to run off. ![]() The size of the tank should be calculated based on in feed so that it can have retention time of at least 24 hours with 36 hours being the ideal figure. ![]() ![]() Depending on whether it will serve individual residence or scaled up to attend to the needs of small clusters of communities, typically interior baffles have to be incorporated and built-in to create compartments and divide the tank into partitions so that it can play effective roles towards waste removal. Design of a small and medium sized septic tank is very much dependent on unit loading factors and the expected incoming wastewater constituent concentrations. ![]()
