CIVIL
 Aim Of Septic Tank
Septic Tank is in the form of Concrete box
which has their unique designs.

The size depends on the number of persons

in the house.
Septic refers to the anaerobical bacteria
which digest the solids.
It helps in removal of waste generates from
bathroom, kitchen, laundry etc.
 Introduction
Septic tanks are widely
used in many places
because of many
advantages such as
stable handling
performance, even when
the wastewater has
large fluctuations,
occupying a small area,
cheap, and the
construction,
management are simple,
so they are easy to be
Design criteria(Septic Tank):
Quantity of sludge -30 l/capita/ years -
Sludge storage
Depth - 1.2 1.8 m
Length: Breadth - 2-4 times
Min width - 120cm
Outlet ~ in let level difference = 5-7.5 or up
to 15 cm
Detention time = 24 hours
Free board: 30cm

Construction, installation of
septic tank
Septic tanks are built of brick, precast
reinforced concrete or reinforced
concrete poured in place, or made
available by materials such as
composites, HDPE, ... Septic tanks
must be built tight, close. ). The
width of the hole at least 200 mm

tank cover set below ground, must
have neck knit cap. knit cap is
constructed of brick, reinforced

Anaerobic living or occurring without

oxygen
Aerobic - organisms & processes that require
oxygen

 TANK MAINTAINANCE
Septic system maintenance is often
compared to automobile maintenance
because only a little effort on a regular basis
can save a lot of money and significantly
prolong the life of the system. Annual
inspections of your septic system are
recommended to ensure that it is working
properly and to determine when the septic
tank should be pumped. Systems that have
moving parts may require more frequent
inspections.

 Advantages

-Can be built and repaired with locally available m

-No real problems with flies or odors if used corre
-Simple and robust technology
-No electrical energy is required
-Little space required due to underground constru
-Low operating costs
-Long service life
-Small land area required (can be built undergrou
 CONCLUSION
Current septic tank technologies are capable of treating
wastewater (onsite) to a higher level of quality than do the
vast majority of municipal treatment plants. The septic
tank is only one part of an on-site wastewater
system. It is designed to remove solids prior to
the effluent entering the soil absorption field,
provide for the filtration, digestion of a portion
of those solids, and storage of the remaining
solids. In our country environment it is not
possible to release effluent to leach field, But it
is possible in villages. The farmers can use their
lands of crop as leach field.
