	Septic Tank - Mound System, AEX-744
		Septic tanks with soil absorption systems are the most commonly used wastewater treatment system in rural and suburban areas.
		The septic tank effluent is then treated and disposed of in the soil absorption system.
		In a mound system, septic tank effluent is delivered to the mound with a pump in a dosing tank placed after the septic tank as shown in Figure 1.

	Septic tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Also some septic tank designs have a second stage where the effluent from the anaerobic first stage is aerated, before it drains into the seepage field.
		How often the septic tank has to be pumped out depends on the volume of the tank relative to the input of solids, the amount of indigestible solids and the ambient temperature (as anaerobic digestion occurs more efficiently at higher temperatures).

	Septic Tank
		Septic tanks are an alternative to treatment of wastewater in a wastewater treatment plant.
		Septic tanks are often used in rural areas to deal with the small amount of sewage created by a single household.
		The septic tank is designed so that methane and hydrogen sulfide, as well as water vapor and carbon dioxide, can escape from the septic tank through a stink-pipe, or vent, attached to the outside of the residence.

	Septic Cleaning Guide for Septic System Maintenance - Septic Tank Pumping Schedule: Table Shows When to pump out septic ...
		Understanding the proper procedures for septic tank care, septic tank cleaning frequency, and other septic tank maintenance chores, will permit the owner of a home with an onsite septic system to maximize the life of the system and to assure that it is working properly.
		In order for a septic tank to function properly, adequate liquid volume must be maintained to allow for sufficient "settling time" or "retention time" which permits solids to either settle out as sludge or join the floating-scum layer at the top of the tank.
		The sludge layer on the bottom of a septic tank includes various solids which are not dissolved in the septic effluent and which are dense enough to fall to the bottom of the tank.

	Septic Tank System Pennsylvania
		A septic tank is a water tight chamber that is constructed of durable and corrosion resistant, such as: concrete, plastic, and fiberglass.
		The septic tank removes settleable solids and floatable material by holding the wastewater in the tank for a sufficient period of time to permit the solids to separate.
		The aerobic tank is an alternative to the conventional septic tank, but it is my professional recommendation that a smaller septic tank should be installed prior to the aerobic tank to provide for an enhanced remove for readily settleable and flotable materials..

	An Introduction to Septic Tank Sewage Treatment Systems
		Septic Tank Sewage Treatment Systems (or septic tank systems as they are called in some parts of the world,) treat sewage at its location, rather than transporting the sewage to a sewer system or larger treatment system nearby.
		Liquid from the septic tank is collected in a small pumping station or tank, and pumped under pressure into the mound in "doses" for treatment.
		The size of a septic system is determined by the number of bedrooms in a home and the rate at which water flows through the soil on the property.

	Septic System Maintenance
		The septic system is a natural method of treatment and disposal of household wastes for those homeowners who are not part of a municipal sewage system.
		Bacteria, which are naturally present in all septic systems, begin to digest the solids that have settled to the bottom of the tank, transforming up to 50 percent of these solids into liquids and gases.
		It is helpful to draw a diagram of the septic system which shows the location of the house, the septic tank and its manholes, and the drain field.

	Septic Tank and Drainfield Operation and Maintenance, from the MSU Extension Service
		A conventional septic system consists of two main parts: the septic tank and the soil drainfield (also referred to as a leachfield, absorption bed or absorption field).
		(Septic tanks come under the legal supervision of counties in Montana.) Septic tanks may be rectangular or cylindrical and may be made of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene.
		Tees or baffles at the tank’s inlet pipe slow the incoming wastes and reduce disturbance of the settled sludge.

	Septic Tank Maintenance
		The tank itself is a watertight container constructed of a sound, durable material resistant to corrosion or decay.
		As the septic system is used, there is an accumulation of solids in the tank, which is sometimes referred to as sludge.
		The septic tank removes solids by holding wastewater in the tank for at least 24 hours, allowing the solids to settle and scum to rise to the top.

	SEPTIC TANKS
		Basically the same -thing that happens in a septic tank also occurs in our guts and in centralized waste water treatment plants, however a properly operating septic system probably is the most efficient of the three.
		A septic system is well suited to breakdown human excrement, and a well designed, properly used and maintained system is one of the best choices for waste disposal in certain areas of the country.
		There is an engineering modification known as the Wisconsin mound system which may allow the use of septic tank systems in areas previously considered to be unsuitable due to slowly permeable soils (percolation rates slower than 60 minutes per inch), thin soils over permeable bedrock, and permanent or periodically high groundwater tables.

	Septic Tank Inspection and Trouble-shooting, from the MSU Extension Service
		Proper maintenance of the system is as important as proper installation (see MontGuide MT 9401 "Septic Tank and Drainfield Operation and Maintenance.") This MontGuide goes into greater detail on evaluating a septic system when selling or purchasing property, inspecting solids levels in a septic tank and troubleshooting problems in a septic system.
		The tank should be pumped if the sludge layer has built up to within 18 inches of the tank outlet or if the scum layer thickens to within 3 inches of the bottom of the outlet baffle or sanitary tee.
		If the liquid level in the septic tank is found to be above normal, either: (a) the tank outlet is plugged, (b) the line to the absorption field is obstructed, or (c) the absorption field is clogged.

		The septic tank is a large-volume, watertight tank which provides initial treatment of the household wastewater by intercepting solids and settleable organic matter
		While relatively simple in construction and operation, the septic tank provides a number of important functions through a complex interaction of physical and biological processes.
		The essential functions of the septic tank are to: receive all wastewater from the house separate solids from the wastewater flow cause reduction and decomposition of accumulated solids provide storage for the separated solids (sludge and scum) pass the clarified wastewater (effluent) out to the drain field for final treatment and disposal.

	Septic Tank;Septic Tank System:About septic tanks
		Waste that does not decomposed by anaerobic digestion eventually has to be removed from the septic tank, if not, the septic tank fills up and wastewater discharges directly into the leach field.
		How often the septic tank has to be pumped out depends on the volume of the tank relative to the input of solids, the amount of indigestible solids, and the ambient temperature (as anaerobic digestion occurs more efficiently at higher temperatures).
		Likewise, users of septic systems should limit water usage to the maximum extent, to avoid exceeding the capacity of the leach field.

		Septic tank care and septic tank cleaning need to be done on a regular frequency (we provide a septic tank pumping schedule table) in order to avoid ruining the drainfield.
		The purpose of the treatment tank or "septic tank" is to contain solid waste and to permit the beginning of bacterial action to process sewage into a combination of clarified effluent, settled sludge, or floating scum in the tank.
		That is, for an in-use septic tank with a small net free area, the frequent entry of solid and liquid waste will keep the tank debris agitated, thus forcing floating debris into the absorption system where the life of that component will be reduced (due to soil clogging).
