Reconsidering Septic Tanks

ACS ES&T Engineering
Septic tanks remain widely used as decentralized sanitation systems, yet their environmental implications are often underestimated. This perspective reassesses their role regarding three main aspects. First, the traditional advantages of septic tanks are highly context-specific.

Septic tanks

Structural Survey, 1983
Septic tanks are used for small populations where there is no available normal sewerage system. Few are constructed nowadays and the majority of those in existence may well have been in existence for a considerable period of time.

Septic Tank Systems

Journal of the Sanitary Engineering Division, 1969
A review of history and theory of septic tank systems allows the establishment of guidelines for the design and construction of satisfactory and economical systems. While survival curves show that system life is usually short, proper design and construction supplemented by regular inspection and maintenance can adequately extend the expected life.

Septic Tank Efficiency

Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1976
The convenience of waterborne waste disposal in rural households and the difficulty of providing adequate central sewerage systems for the large populations migrating to urban areas from rural centres led to the widespread use of septic tank systems in North America.

Multichamber Septic Tanks

Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1980
A multichamber septic tank is superior to a single-chamber tank. A literature search and a field study were carried out. Performance parameters such as gas baffles, detention period and surface area/depth ratio were found to be significant for both tanks.

Developments in Septic Tank Systems

Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, 1958
Some important changes in the design criteria for septic tanks and subsurface sewage-disposal systems have occurred. These changes are set forth and evaluated.
