Many homeowners in rural areas are not connected to main drainage and need a safe, reliable alternative. Water is becoming more and more sacred around the globe.
People are starting to explore how to recycle their water, and a septic sewage treatment plant may be your perfect way to do it!
Many communities and villages around the world face serious problems with lack of sanitation especially in disposing of the wastewater—black water and grey water from their homes, or wash outs from animal rearing sheds. Across the world diverting wastewater to their surroundings or to public spaces are not uncommon anymore. This is responsible for contaminating drinking water sources causing health risks and environmental degradation as they become the breeding grounds of mosquitoes and pathogens.
Diverting the wastewater to trees and vegetable gardens was historically a common practice. Wastewater treatment helps to improve the vegetation and biodiversity of rural areas. Using your own recycled water to water your own greenery will save gallons of water a week. There is currently a large amount of clean water being used for things that don’t need clean water, such as non-food gardening. By reusing your waste water, you’ll cut down on your water usage and reduce your carbon footprint.
How Do Domestic Sewage Tanks Work?
A sewage treatment plant creates an environment where bacteria is encouraged to grow and breakdown sewage in a non-polluting method. Nearly all sewage tanks use the same three stage system that treat the polluted sewage to produce clean water.
The sewage enters the first chamber where the solids sink to the bottom and forms a sludge at the bottom of the chamber which is periodically removed by a tanker.
The remaining liquid moves forward to the biological treatment zone where air containing oxygen is introduced to the liquid. This encourages the growth of aerobic bacteria and allows them to breath.
The treated liquid moves into the final chamber where all biological material moves to the bottom of the tank ready for removal. The remaining clean water flows out of the chamber into bodies of surface water or other similar areas.
Some homeowners who aren’t able to connect to a mains sewerage need a domestic sewage plant installed, but are unsure of why they would need one.
