	Imhoff tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Imhoff tank is a chamber suitable for the reception and processing of sewage.
		The Imhoff tank is in effect a two-story septic tank and retains the septic tank's simplicity while eliminating many of its drawbacks, which largely result from the mixing of fresh sewage and septic sludge in the same chamber.
		Imhoff tanks are being superseded in sewage treatment by plain sedimentation tanks using mechanical methods for continuously collecting the sludge, which is moved to separate digestion tanks.

	Wikipedia: Sludge
		When fresh sewage water is added to a settling tank, approximately 50% of the suspended solid matter will settle out in the period of an hour and a half or so.
		In an Imhoff tank, fresh sludge is passed through a slot to the lower story or digestion chamber where decomposition by anaerobic bacteria takes place resulting in liquefaction and a reduction in the volume of the sludge.
		Alternately, the fresh sludge may be continuously extracted from the tank by mechanical means and passed on to separate sludge digestion tanks which operate at higher temperatures than the lower story of the Imhoff tank and as a result digest much more rapidly and efficiently.

		Paradoxically a tank is usually in its safest state when the commander is in a personally unsafe position, riding in the open, head out of the turret, with no personal protection save his helmet and a flack jacket.
		Since an immobilized tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery and the usual specialized tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum and every occasion is seized upon to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and on railways, instead of on their own power.

		The sewage is led into the upper tank and passes through it at such a slow rate that much of the solid material in suspension falls to the bottom.
		The solid material which has fallen into the lower tank slowly rots until finally all the organic material is gone, and only the inorganic is left.
		This material is technically known as sludge, and through a proper arrangement of pipes and pumps it is periodically raised from the bottom of the tanks and spread on glass covered drying beds.

		A septic tank is part of a small scale sewage treatment system often referred to as a septic system, which consists of the tank itself and a septic drain field.
		The septic tank itself almost never fails; it is the leach field that fails.
		However, it is not unusual to find better growth over the septic tank itself as well, particularly the end nearest the leach field.

		The Imhoff tank is made of two separate zones.
		In the upper settling zone, the sewage flow is very slow, thus causing a settling of about an half of the suspended solids (removing between 30 to 40 percent of the BOD), that drops in the lower digester zone.
