Question 4

What is a Septic Tank?

Accepted Answer

A septic tank is a commonly used small-scale sewage treatment system popular in areas with no connection to main sewage pipes provided by local authorities. For several decades septic tanks have been the primary method used to treat sewage and/or wastewater in rural Ireland. Only in the past decade, largely due to local authority regulation, have newer more advanced environmentally friendly alternatives such as waste water treatment systems started to grow in Ireland.

Question 5

How a Septic Tank works?

Accepted Answer

A septic tank consists of a usually concrete tank buried in the ground, connected to an inlet wastewater pipe at one end and a septic drain field at the other. The design of the tank usually incorporates two chambers, wastewater or sewage enters the first chamber allowing solids to settle and scum to float. The settled solids are anaerobically digested, the liquid component flows through the dividing wall into the second chamber, where further settlement takes place. The excess liquid then drains out in a relatively clear condition from the outlet into the surrounding ground. Over time the waste that is not decomposed by the anaerobic digestion eventually has to be removed from the septic tank, also known as desludging. If the sludge is not emptied it can overflow and clog the piping or decrease the soil porosity itself, requiring expensive septic tank repairs.
