A septic tank is a chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, PVC or plastic, through which domestic wastewater (sewage) flows for primary treatment. Settling and anaerobic processes reduce solids and organics, but the treatment is only moderate. Septic tank systems are a type of onsite sewage facility (OSSF). They can be used in areas that are not connected to a sewerage system, such as in rural areas. The treated liquid effluent is commonly disposed of in a septic drain field which provides further treatment. However, groundwater pollution may occur and can be a problem.
Waste that is not decomposed by the anaerobic digestion must eventually be removed from the septic tank. Otherwise, the septic tank fills up and wastewater containing undecomposed material discharges directly to the drainage field. Not only is this detrimental for the environment but, if the sludge overflows the septic tank into the leach field, it may clog the leach field piping or decrease the soil porosity itself, requiring expensive repairs.
While a properly maintained and located septic tank does not pose any more environmental problems than centralized municipal sewage treatment certain problems can arise with septic tanks in unsuitable locations. Since septic systems require large drain fields, they are not suitable for densely built areas.Some constituents of wastewater, especially sulfates, under the anaerobic conditions of septic tanks, are reduced to hydrogen sulfide, a pungent and toxic gas. Methane may also be released. Nitrates and organic nitrogen compounds can be reduced to ammonia. Because of the anaerobic conditions, fermentation processes take place, which may generate carbon dioxide and/or methane.
