Types of Septic Systems
Septic systems come in two types: conventional and aerobic. Although the results of both systems (sewage breakdown and effluent treatment) are the same, their methodologies are not the same.
Conventional Septic Systems
More straightforward than aerobic septic systems are traditional or conventional septic systems. Solid waste that enters a septic tank and settles at the bottom condenses to form sludge. The same septic tank collects liquid waste, which floats to the top and contains a layer of scum. Water that may or may not be further treated before being discharged to the drain field is produced due to anaerobic bacteria in the tank helping break down the liquid and solid waste. The soil must be porous, the water tables around the drain field must not be overflowing, and there must be any restrictive horizons (bedrock) that would prevent wastewater from being absorbed.
Aerobic Septic Systems
Installing an aerobic septic system can be more expensive and challenging. A waste tank, a treatment facility, and a pump tank are the three sections that make up each unit. The three sections can be arranged separately or as a single unit. Like in conventional septic systems, liquid, and solid waste enter the garbage tank and separate into layers. Like a fish tank pump, an aerator pushes oxygen bubbles throughout the effluent as wastewater is carried to a treatment facility.
The extra oxygen is needed to give aerobic microorganisms, which break down waste more quickly and efficiently than anaerobic germs in the conventional approach, a stable habitat. The wastewater is then pushed into the pump tank for a final chlorine or disinfectant disinfection treatment to eliminate any remaining germs. It is considered environmentally safe to use on topsoil before the last stage of treatment, absorption into the soil.
