Aerobic System (Aereation System)
One of the more unconventional
types of septic systems is the aerobic design. The system is equipped
with a watertight tank that has an aeration chamber. Waste is broken
down by bacteria in the aeration chamber. These systems are capable of
producing cleaner waste water, so they are commonly used in sensitive
environments.
ADVANTAGES OF AN AEROBIC SYSTEM:
Size of leech field. Aerobic
systems can be used effectively with a smaller drainage field than
conventional systems. This is useful in lots where it is unacceptable to
have a large draining fields.
Another advantage of an aerobic unit is the effluent. The effluent is
the waste water that is processed and then returned to the environment.
An aerobic septic system is capable of producing cleaner effluent than
other systems. This is very helpful when you need to use a septic system
in locations with high water tables.
Aerobic septic system can be used to repair traditional systems. If you
have a traditional system that is failed, this system can be installed
in its place. The waste water produced by an aerobic septic system may
be able to clean the failing leach field as it travels through the
system. This will save you the expense of excavating the whole field to
have the system replaced.
