TOPIC 10: Sewage Disposal System Flashcards
the final stage of the plumbing process;
where used water and water-carried wastes are brought to
various disposal outlets
DISPOSAL PHASE
A watertight covered receptacle designed and constructed
to receive the discharge of sewage from a building sewer,
separate solids from the liquid, digest organic matter and
store digested solids through a period of detention, and
allow the clarified liquids to discharge for final disposal
SEPTIC TANKS
solid organic matter that are denser than water
and settle at the bottom of the septic tank
SLUDGE-
lighter organic material that rise to the surface of
the water
SCUM-
liquid content of sewage
EFFLUENT-
Bacteria in septic tank
to encourage decomposition
- Aerobic bacteria
- Anaerobic bacteria
relies on oxygen to survive
Aerobic bacteria
can survive in places without
oxygen
Anaerobic bacteria

L= 1500mm
