Three Considerations for Dewatering Septic Tanks
As implied, dewatering in wastewater treatment is the removal of water from domestic sludge. Basically, the septic system is a small-scale treatment facility that uses bacteria to decompose the waste material collected in the collection tank. The relatively harmless effluent produced after this process is released into drain fields. Unfortunately, the septic system can collect a lot of grey water from the bathroom, kitchen sinks and laundry machines.
This type of waste liquid is not exactly hazardous, but it increases the volume of the material in the septic tank.
