Aerobic wastewater treatment systems are the modern, environment-friendly alternative to septic tanks for your house or residential premises. If your building is in a non-sewered area or you just want to upgrade from that smelly old septic, installing an aerobic wastewater system is the best option for you.
Aerobic wastewater treatment systems use oxygen-feeding bacteria, protozoa, and other speciality organisms to filter water as opposed to septic tank systems that do not use oxygen. These processes enhance the natural mechanism of microbial decomposition to break down toxic wastewater pollutants so that they can be easily extracted.
How do aerobic wastewater treatment systems work?
Because these organisms require oxygen, aerobic systems require some means of supplying oxygen to the waste. The aerobic wastewater disposal process starts as all the wastewater from the kitchen, toilet, bathroom and laundry is drained into the tank. The solid waste collects in the septic tank where the naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria slowly break it down.
These rapid-acting bacteria convert the sewage to carbon dioxide and water. There is no odour as aerobic bacteria breathe oxygen. Finally, a small amount of chlorine is added to remove any bacteria that survived the aeration process. The filtered water is then ideal for irrigating the garden or your backyard.
It’s like you’ve got your own water treatment facility!
So basically aerobic treatment systems are on-site sewage treatment systems that use oxygen-feeding bacteria, protozoa, and other speciality organisms to treat wastewater. This wastewater after being cleaned can be used to water your garden, maintain your backyard etc.
