Above is the schematics of a Aerobic Septic System.
An aerobic septic system like the one shown above is a system that provides a suitable oxygen-rich environment for organisms that can reduce the organic portion of the waste into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen.
Aerobic septic systems are similar to conventional septic systems in that they both use natural processes to treat wastewater. But unlike the conventional septic treatment, the aerobic treatment process requires oxygen. Aerobic treatment units, therefore, use a mechanism to inject and circulate air inside the treatment tank.
One of the most common reason to select an aerobic septic system is to replace failing conventional septic systems, which are a major source of groundwater pollution in some areas. If a conventional septic system has failed, an aerobic septic system may be a viable option.
Some of the advantages are:
