Christmas Trading Hours 
Riverland Tank and Drain specialize in aerobic wastewater treatment systems for many reasons but we’ve concluded that they are a modern, environment-friendly alternative to septic tanks for your house or residential premises. You may be looking for an upgrade to potentially septic, smelly systems or your property is based in a non-sewered area. Installing an aerobic wastewater system is the best option for you. Aerobic wastewater treatment systems use oxygen-feeding bacteria and other naturally occurring organisms that can effectively filter water as opposed to septic tank systems. Just like with septic tank systems, these treatments can break down toxic wastewater pollutants so that we can easily extract them when necessary. You don’t need to know the technicalities because a professional can quickly help you understand their primary differences. All you need to know is that biological wastewater treatments like this are extremely cost-effective and energy efficient.
What is aerobic wastewater treatment?
Like how fire is born through the collaboration of an element and the natural presence of oxygen in the air, aerobic wastewater treatment systems use oxygen-feeding bacteria to clean your water. And by clean your water, we mean separate it from the sludge or waste that needs clearing away when the tank cleaning and boat pump-out team from Riverland Tank and Drain arrive on site. The waste is broken down through natural processes, but they are accelerated by the addition of the microbes that clean the water to which they are exposed.
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 are no odours 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.
Benefits and costs of an aerobic wastewater treatment system
Aerobic treatment systems are on-site sewage treatment systems that use oxygen-feeding bacteria, protozoa, and other speciality organisms to treat wastewater and property owners are turning to this as their preferred waste-water facility approach for many reasons. Your system may still need cleaning out like for typical rainwater tank cleans but it varies in an entirely different way. Property owners have found this option appealing because it can collect and treat wastewater, and then leave homes with recyclable treated wastewater for outdoor irrigation. They’re also an attractive investment because they require much less yard space. There is a significantly high initial installation cost, but the system’s benefits and sustainability will outweigh the cost. You will have to seriously consider the cost of sludge removal services when required but that can be ironed out by local sludge removal advice at any point. The general industry standard is that your aerobic wastewater treatment system should be serviced and maintained every two years after installation by a certified installer.
