Septic tank treatment explained
Your septic tank acts as the collection point for your household sewage. It provides a holding area to allow the waste to settle and for micro-organisms to break down, liquefy and deodourise the organic matter. The process is entirely biological and needs the presence of a healthy colony of bacteria and fungi to operate successfully. Why Problems Arise Modern cleaning agents such as ...

Case Study: Passive Treatment Provides Solution for Elderly Home
A recently failed chamber system in poor soil conditions at Víctor Hernández Building Elderly Housing in Puerto Rico forced the company to pump a holding tank weekly. This created a need for a higher level of treatment that would protect and preserve the permeability of the soil. An Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES) combined treatment and dispersal system from Presby Environmental with ...

Passive Wastewater Treatment System Introduced to Colorado - Case Study
After a homeowner’s septic system failed on a small lot and the homeowner was faced with a large bill for a new system, Virgil Russon of Greeley, Colo., looked for a solution. He did extensive research for alternatives to pipe and stone, and found Advanced Enviro-Septic (AES). The AES System provides advanced treatment of septic effluent to tertiary quality, is completely passive with no ...

Sewage sludge management in Malaysia
This paper describes the current status of sewage sludge management in Malaysia, including sludge characteristics from both communal sewage treatment facilities and septic tanks. The levels of potentially toxic elements in the sludge are defined and compared to levels elsewhere in the context of the suitability of the sludge for agricultural use. Current sludge disposal practices are reviewed and ...

Soakaway Crates
The Environment Agency has stated that you cannot use soakaway crates for septic tank and sewage treatment plant soakaways. They are not listed as a suitable sytem in either the Building Regulations or the BS6797 2007 and as such, cannot be used. They are for rainwater and storm water only For more information and reasons why they cannot be used for foul water soakaways, please visit our website ...

Analysis of the bacterial community changes in soil for septic tank effluent treatment in response to bio-clogging
Soil columns were set up to survey the bacterial community in the soil for septic tank effluent treatment. When bio-clogging occurred in the soil columns, the effluent from the columns was in poorer quality. To evaluate changes of the soil bacterial community in response to bio-clogging, the bacterial community was characterized by DNA gene sequences from soil samples after polymerase chain ...

Septic Tank Conversion for septic tank Treatment
Your septic system is a mixture of a motorized and organic system. Septic pumping check is a reasonably priced process when measured up to with replacing your septic system. Septic pumping service is indispensable to keep your tank, drainpipes, and sewer in good functioning order. A concrete made septic tank can also accomplish the passage point and flood into the leakage bed, where they bung ...

Enviro - Septic® Systems Achieve Even Distribution without Pressure Dosing
Abstract: Enviro-Septic Systems do not use pressure distribution. Pumps are used only if necessary to gain elevation to the treatment field. Pressure distribution has the potential to disrupt the settling of solids within the pipe. Testing has confirmed that Enviro-Septic^ achieves even distribution throughout the system naturally, through the development of a controlled bacterial treatment layer ...

Remote Fishing Facilities Change Their Water Way - Case Study
The Situation: With a natural grandeur and isolation coupled with teeming seas and streams, British Columbia has long been considered Canada's premier destination (or fishing. The isolated Pacific Coastal Mountain Range protects this secluded valley bottom and provides a location for a booming fishing lodge industry. Besides the fishing lodges that have cropped up in recent years, there are ...

The development of a Code of Practice for single house on-site wastewater treatment in Ireland
The performance of six separate percolation areas was intensively monitored to ascertain the attenuation effects of unsaturated subsoils with respect to on-site wastewater effluent: three sites receiving septic tank effluent, the other three sites receiving secondary treated effluent. The development of a biomat across the percolation areas receiving secondary treated effluent was restricted on ...

Factors affecting the performance and risks to human health of on-site wastewater treatment systems
Aerobic wastewater treatment systems (aerobic systems) are the preferred choice in a region overlying a karstic aquifer used for drinking water supplies, as they are thought to provide better protection to groundwater and human health than standard septic systems. However, aerobic systems in operation do not always perform to design standard; while this is often blamed on lack of maintenance, few ...

Treatment of Septic Tank Effluents by a Full-Scale Capillary Seepage Soil Biofiltration System
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of septic tank effluent treatment by an underground capillary seepage soil biofiltration system in a suburban area of Taipei, Taiwan. In contrast to traditional subsurface wastewater infiltration systems, capillary seepage soil biofiltration systems initially draw incoming influent upwards from the distribution pipe by capillary and ...

Performance evaluation of different wastewater treatment technologies operating in a developing country
This article analyses the performance of 166 wastewater treatment plants operating in Brazil, comprising six different treatment processes: septic tank + anaerobic filter, facultative pond, anaerobic pond + facultative pond, activated sludge, UASB reactors alone, UASB reactors followed by post-treatment. The study evaluates and compares the observed effluent quality and the removal efficiencies ...

Small-Scale Wastewater Treatment Systems for 3 Markets: USAID Philippine Sanitation Alliance Projects in the Philippines
Lack of access to improved sanitation and lack of sanitation treatment infrastructure is a major issue facing the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. 2008 data estimated that 24% of the Philippine population still did not have access to personal improved sanitation, 15% of which rely on shared sanitary facilities and 9% of which rely on open defecation or the use of unimproved ...

Effect of soil fortified by polyurethane foam on septic tank effluent treatment
Fortified soil was made up of a mixture at a mass ratio 4/1000–6/1000 of sponge and natural soil according to the results of column experiment. The fortified soil had bigger porosity and higher hydraulic conductivity than the natural soil. The columns packed with 900 mm of the fortified soil endured a flow rate equivalent to 100 L/m2/d of septic tank effluent and the average chemical oxygen ...

Transport of enterococci and F+ coliphage through the saturated zone of the beach aquifer
Coastal groundwater has been implicated as a source of microbial pollution to recreational beaches. However, there is little work investigating the transport of fecal microbes through beach aquifers where waters of variable salinity are present. In this study, the potential for fecal indicator organisms enterococci (ENT) and F+ coliphage to be transported through marine beach aquifers was ...
