Things to Know About Septic Tank Systems

Plastic septic tanks are the basis for the treatment of household wastewater. In them, waste is

deposited, oils, fats are separated and the beginning of anaerobic decomposition of organic

waste. They are made by the technology of spiral winding of high-density polyethylene.

Plastic septic tanks are effectively used for the disposal of fecal wastewater in public

(schools, hospitals, etc.) and private facilities (households, in urban and rural areas). They can

be used for wastewater collection and treatment. You can always upgrade this system by

adding a disinfectant or aerobic system. Mike Clark Excavating & Septic Pumping is the

best one in the area.

               

There are more and more inquiries from people about septic tanks recently. According to the
current legal regulations, septic tanks are no longer allowed for installation because the
treatment of wastewater still results in very high levels of pollution during discharge into the
environment.

It is a flow pit made of waterproof material from which purified water is poured into nature.
Also, this pit requires a small burial depth, which favors those facilities that are located on
hard terrain. Purification of the three-chamber septic tank is performed by triple mechanical
and gravitational separation and biodegradation with the help of anaerobic bacteria, which
themselves develop naturally in the pit with fecal waste and water.

This pit is intended for all wastewater, i.e., fecal black and gray sanitary water, but it is not
intended for roof and other rainwater. The three-chamber septic tank is dimensioned
according to the maximum number of users in the facility and the frequency of use. This
septic tank should be positioned so that it is accessible to the discharge tank, and it is
recommended that the absorption well and the septic tank are not installed in the same
excavation.

The maintenance of the septic tank comes down to periodically checking the level of
activated sludge that settles to the bottom of the vessel, which can be raised towards the top
of the vessel over time. If the sludge is still raised to the highest level, it is necessary to call

the utility company to carry out the emptying of the pit. Instead of septic tanks, the use of
watertight collection pits or as they are also called watertight septic tanks is allowed.

Watertight collection pits are used in places where no public sewerage system has been built,
and where the use of biological wastewater treatment plants is not possible. As they are
waterproof, all contaminants remain in them. As the capacity of collection pits increases,
their economy decreases, and it is better for more users to use biological devices for
wastewater treatment.

You can get a lot of benefits from septic tanks if installed properly.
