How Primary Septic Tanks Work
- Primary septic tanks operate through a straightforward but effective process:
- Collection: All wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and appliances flows into the septic tank.
- Separation: Solid materials settle to the bottom, forming sludge, while oils and lighter substances float to the top, creating a scum layer.
- Anaerobic Digestion: Bacteria naturally present in the wastewater begin breaking down organic solids.
- Clarification: The clearer effluent between the sludge and scum layers exits to the next treatment stage.
- Retention: Solids remain in the tank until periodic pump-outs remove accumulated sludge.
