Types of Wastewater Treatment and Application (Disposal) Systems

Types of Wastewater Treatment and Application (Disposal) Systems

On location wastewater the board frameworks have two principle processes - getting wastewater a specific norm, and applying wastewater (treated wastewater) to a ground space of your property.

Treatment system

The most common types of onsite waste water treatment systems are:

Septic tank

Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS)

Biological filter system

Fertilizer toilets (dry and wet)

Wastewater can be treated on three criteria:

Primary - Minimal treatment involves flotation and settlement to separate solids and liquids, and disposal of clear but still contaminated water (such as septic tanks and composting toilets).

Secondary - A more advanced treatment for a standard safe (such as air-powered wastewater treatment system) for disinfection of solids and chlorine using air and biological processes to disinfect liquids.

Tertiary - A state-of-the-art system that uses air and biological processes as well as membranes and UV disinfection to treat wastewater to the highest standards (such as membrane filtration and advanced aerated wastewater treatment systems).

 Ensuring that you have the right type of on-site wastewater system for the size of your home and the characteristics of the land is essential to protecting water quality in Sydney drinking water catchments.

Application (disposal) system

Waste applied to a land area can be used (through irrigation) or (by absorbing soil), depending on the type and level of treatment and the system of waste used. depending on.

Soil absorption systems do not require highly treated waste, and wastewater treated in septic tanks and composting toilets can be disposed of in this way. Only airborne wastewater treatment systems (including state-of-the-art systems with membrane filtration) can be used for surface irrigation, whereas water treated with biological filters can be used for underground irrigation. Can be used by

The most common types of onsite effluent application systems are:

Absorption trench and bed

evapotranspiration absorption bed

Modified clay mounds

Sand dunes

Underground irrigation

Surface irrigation

what can you do

Recognize what kind of on location wastewater framework you have, and comprehend its administration and support needs.

Know the location of your wastewater treatment system and the configuration of your waste utilization system, so that you can monitor its performance and quickly identify any leaks, overflows or other problems.

Keep records of desludings, inspections and other maintenance.

If you are installing a new system, get the right kind of advice to meet your needs and get council approval to operate it.
