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
We have worked with Burnham Portable Toilet Hire for many years now. We find them to be professional, hardworking, and conscientious. They fulfil a major contract at Hinkley Point C Bridgwater and look after our entire welfare needs. This includes services daily to our toilets, septic tanks, and welfare facilities. This is no mean fete on a site this large. I would highly recommend them.
I highly recommend Burnham Portable Toilet Hire as they are a friendly family run company that always go the extra mile. I have a small Glampsite with difficult access which needs a regular tank empty. They are flexible to suit our needs which is always much appreciated, often attending at very short notice.
A pleasure to deal with!
