How To Ensure That A Sewage Water Treatment System Functions Well

By Dorothy Edwards


A sewage treatment system is usually tasked with the responsibility of the removal of contaminants from the sewage so as to help produce environmentally safe effluent. There are several factors which should be considered for the process to be termed as effectively and efficiently done. After reading the following guide you will have gained a much deeper understanding about the sewage water treatment system.

First and foremost, the quantity of water and even organic waste entering the system should be very much controlled. The normal functioning of the unit is greatly hindered if the pre-set maximum allowable amount of waste is exceeded. This has been shown to have a very negative impact on the normal functioning of a unit.

The breaking down of the organic matter is usually done through the help of naturally occurring bacteria. They are usually charged with that role therefore making their presence very much welcomed. However, the continued use of hazardous cleaning agents has been attributed to the destruction of these organisms. This tends to greatly hinder the system from normal functions.

Much effort should be given towards maintaining a healthy vegetative cover in the areas designated for the spray field. This has been proven to aid greatly in the effective removal of waste. After every 5 years, the tanks making up a unit should be subjected to a thorough cleaning. This has proved to be effective in prevention of clogging inside the tanks as this can even cause the effluence to surface.

Proper care should be undertaken during landscaping so as to prevent run-off water is diverted from getting to the area set for soil treatment. This area is only capable of holding a predetermined amount of liquids and the violation of that will lead to defective performance.

Due diligence is also recommended in making sure that the tanks used for making the unit are water tight. In the case where this very important aspect is not met, then there will be occurrences of effluence leaking into the surface or even the fluid entering the components.

One way of doing this is by checking for depressions on the ground cover which happens to be directly above the tanks. If the color of the grass covering is observed to be greener than the surrounding vegetation, then this serves as enough proof that either the pipes or the tanks are leaking. The riser of a tank should also be well fitted so as to prevent the fluid from infiltrating the system.

Rainy seasons call for further vigilance with an aim of ensuring that a unit can be proven to withstand these harsh conditions. The main indicator of a faulty unit is the continued spraying displayed by the spray distribution system. This spraying in rainy conditions usually poses a risk of having your unit damaged. The construction of structures in the vicinity of the unit is also strongly contraindicated as this prevents the free movement of air in soil. It has also been shown to hinder evaporation from happening effectively.
