Key Points
- A septic tank is concrete, fibreglass, or plastic subterranean chamber through which domestic wastewater (sewage) flows for basic treatment.
- Anaerobic action occurs within the septic tank. The term "septic" refers to the anaerobic bacterial environment that forms in the tank and decomposes the waste that is expelled.
- Domestic sewage, as well as animal and poultry wastes, are examples of N-rich materials that supply nutrients for anaerobic organism development and multiplication.
Important Points
- A pressure/vacuum vent is installed in pressure tanks to avoid venting loss due to boiling and breathing loss due to daily temperature or barometric pressure variations.
