    (Chapter 6) How Does a Septic System Work?

    .
    There are many design variations of septic systems. While the systems may be somewhat different, they all perform the same basic function. That is, to process raw septic sewage into a cleaner effluent that can be evenly distributed beneath the ground and blended with the groundwater as not to create a health hazard. There are passive and active systems. The overwhelming majority of home systems are passive and anaerobic.  
    Therefore, we will describe a typical passive system. A septic system is designed and constructed of simple and durable material such as concrete, steel, clay pipe, cast iron pipe and or PVC plastic pipe. The basic components of the system are the inlet pipe, the septic tank, the outlet pipe and an absorption component. The waste stream is almost always in motion. As an example, when a toilet is flushed in a house, approximately 3 gallons of water and waste flows into the outlet pipe connected to the septic tank. The equal amount of waste (3 gallons) then flows out of the septic tank through the outlet pipe to the absorption component. The equal amount of waste (3 gallons) flows through the absorption unit into the ground.
    Inside a septic tank is a large population of living microorganisms and anaerobic bacteria. The quantity of anaerobic bacteria and microorganisms is dependent on the availability of a food source, the waste. Therefore, when the loading into the septic tank is low, the anaerobic bacteria count declines. An example would be when a family takes a vacation and the house is vacated. At other times, when the loading into the septic tank is high, the anaerobic bacteria count increases. An example would be when out of town visitors come for a long weekend or a gather takes place. The unfortunate fact is that the anaerobic bacteria count does not grow as rapidly as the demand. The anaerobic bacteria are also somewhat slow in processing the waste. The waste must be held in the septic tank for a long enough period of time for the anaerobic bacteria to convert the waste. If sufficient anaerobic bacteria and hold time is not available for the system, untreated or minimally treated waste can exit the septic tank and flow into the absorption component.
    The Septic System Treatment Process
    The wastewater first enters the tank from the home. The wastewater is held in the tank for approximately 2 days. During the holding period the anaerobic bacteria breakdown the organic material in the wastewater and reduce the ”strength” of the wastewater by about 40%. As explained above, when the 3 gallons of wastewater enters the tank it displaces 3 gallons of wastewater through the outlet pipe. Because of the separation distance between the inlet and outlet pipes the wastewater that is closer to the outlet pipe has been in the tank the longest period and therefore is the cleanest. This cleaner water (still containing 60% of its’ original organic material) flows out into the distribution field for further treatment. After a short period of time a layer begins to form at the bottom of the gravel bed. This layer is known as the bio-mat. The bio-mat is made of anaerobic bacteria and its by-product, a black slimy substance. The slimy substance protects the bacteria from oxygen. If the anaerobic bacteria were to come in contact with oxygen it would quickly die. Because the bio-mat is a living organism, it requires a food source. The food source is the organic material dissolved or suspended in the water coming from the septic tank. The bio-mat is not a “bad” thing. Its purpose is to further clean the wastewater to remove the additional 60% of organic material. The anaerobic bacteria (bio-mat) are rather slow to digest the organic material. The by-product of the anaerobic bacteria also closes some of the soil pores resulting in a reduction in flow of the water through it. This enables the anaerobic bacteria sufficient time to clean the wastewater. The result is very clean water entering the water table which eventually mixes with ground water.
