What is a Septic Tank?
Technical Overview
A septic tank is a fundamental component of a self-contained onsite sewage facility (OSSF), particularly in regions where centralised sewage treatment plants are inaccessible. Essentially, it's an anaerobic wastewater treatment system, wherein wastewater is treated through biological decomposition and sedimentation.
- Underground watertight container
- Biological decomposition process
- Natural filtration system
How It Works
As the waste enters the tank, solids settle at the bottom, forming a sludge layer, while lighter materials like oil and grease float to the top, creating a scum layer. The wastewater in between, known as effluent, is then gradually released into the drain field for further natural treatment in the soil.
- Three-layer separation
- Natural treatment process
- Soil filtration system
Over the last four years we have had Burnham as our Portaloo supplier for many remote pylon sites on and around HPC through to Bawdrip, we used to have another supplier previously, but they were not very good, glad we did change to Burnham because we have had over thirty toilets and had an excellent service throughout.
After being let down by our regular supplier to empty a Wheel Wash of waste water for the last time before it’s collection at HPC at Christmas 2022 I contacted Burnham and they were more than happy to assist and came out the next day and it was a good job because one of our engineers had lost his car/home keys, Mark found them whilst emptying the wash and even brought them to our office for him.
Burnham Portable Toilet Hire have always provided us at Strongvox homes a friendly and professional service when hiring Welfare, Septic tanks, and Toilet hire.
