American Heritage Septic is a proud dealer of the Clearstream Wastew ater Treatment Systems.
The Clearstream
Wastewater Treatment System is a highly efficient "extended
aeration" sewage treatment plant. This system, through
aeration and clarification, provides a proper environment
for aerobic bacteria and other micro-organisms that convert
the incoming sewage into clear, odorless, and organically
stable water. Test results taken from actual in-service
applications of Clearstream Systems average consistently
below the United States Environmental Protection Agency
requirements for direct discharge of treated effluent.
Five Advantages to Aerobic Septic Systems
Most septic systems use anaerobic bacteria to help break down and
filter solids and wastewater. An aerobic septic system has a few
advantages when compared to one that use anaerobic bacteria. Some of
these advantages include speed, wastewater, and size of the leaching
field. This article will discuss some of the advantages of an aerobic
septic system.
Leaching Field
One of the first
advantages of an aerobic septic system is the size of the required
leaching field. This type of system can be used effectively with a
small drainage field than conventional systems. The smaller field will
dramatically reduce the amount of space required for the system. This
is useful in lots where it is unacceptable to have a large leaching
field.
Effluent
One of the next advantages of an
aerobic septic system is the effluent. The effluent is the wastewater
that is processed and then returned to the environment. An aerobic
septic system is capable of producing cleaner effluent than other
systems. This is very helpful when you need to use a septic system in
locations with a fragile environment, such as those with high water
tables.
Speed
Another advantage of an aerobic
septic system is the speed. The bacteria used in this system will break
down waste faster than anaerobic bacteria will. Therefore, solids won't
build up as fast and you won't have to pump the system as much as you
normally would.
Amount
You want to prevent as much
solid waste from leaving the system as possible. An aerobic septic
system will break down a larger amount of solids before they leave the
system. Therefore, less solids will be able to reach the drainage field
or the environment.
Repair
One of the final advantages of an aerobic septic system is that it can be used to repair
traditional systems. If you have a traditional system that is failed,
this system can be installed in its place. The wastewater produced by
an aerobic septic system may be able to clean
the failing leach field as it travels through the system. This will
save you the expense of digging up the whole field to have it replaced. |
