Septic Tanks

septic tanks

A septic tank is a type of plumbing system that is used to treat and dispose of wastewater from homes and businesses that are not connected to a public sewer system. The tank is usually made of materials like concrete or plastic, and when the wastewater enters the tank, the solids settle to the bottom while the liquids rise to the top. Inside the tank, bacteria break down the solid waste, and the remaining liquid is then released into the ground through a drain field. The soil around the drain field further cleans the water before it goes back into the environment.

As wastewater enters the tank, it separates into three layers.

1. The top layer, which includes oils, grease, and other lighter materials, floats to the top and forms a scum layer.
2. The middle layer, which contains water and dissolved solids, settles to the bottom and forms a sludge layer.
3. Bacteria in the tank break down most of the waste in the middle layer.

The tank then discharges the clarified water in the middle layer, which is further treated by the soil through a drain field.
