2. Aerobic treatment system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_treatment_system

   The aeration stage and the disinfecting stage are the primary differences from a traditional septic system; in fact, an aerobic treatment system can be used as a secondary treatment for septic tank effluent. [1] These stages increase the initial cost of the aerobic system, and also the maintenance requirements over the passive septic system.

3. Trickling filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickling_filter

   A trickling filter is a type of wastewater treatment system. It consists of a fixed bed of some material, such as rocks , coke , gravel , slag , polyurethane foam , sphagnum peat moss , ceramic , or plastic media, over which sewage or other wastewater flows downward and causes a layer of microbial slime ( biofilm ) to grow, covering the bed of ...

4. Septic tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_tank

   Mainly because of water leaching from the effluent drains of a lot of closely spaced septic systems, [39] many council districts (e.g. Sunshine Coast, Queensland) have banned septic systems, and require them to be replaced with much more expensive small-scale sewage treatment systems that actively pump air into the tank, producing an aerobic ...

5. Septic drain field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_drain_field

   A septic drain field, a septic tank, and associated piping compose a septic system. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals (and surface runoff) from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches. [1]

6. Onsite sewage facility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsite_sewage_facility

   Onsite sewage facilities (OSSF), also called septic systems, are wastewater systems designed to treat and dispose of effluent on the same property that produces the wastewater, in areas not served by public sewage infrastructure. A septic tank and drainfield combination is a fairly common type of on-site sewage facility in the Western world.

7. Aerobic digestion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_digestion

   Aerobic digestion is a process in sewage treatment designed to reduce the volume of sewage sludge and make it suitable [1] for subsequent use. [2] More recently, technology has been developed that allows the treatment and reduction of other [ 3 ] organic waste, such as food, cardboard and horticultural waste.
