To meet the demands of their households, many people choose to install aerobic systems over traditional anaerobic septic systems. The equipment is designed to treat waste quickly before it re-enters the atmosphere. Below is a brief introduction to how aerobic systems work and who benefits from them the most.

What Is an Aerobic System?

Purcell-Oklahoma-aerobic-systemThe main difference between a traditional septic system and an aerobic version is how waste is treated. With aerobic systems, solids are separated from liquids in a trash tank. Instead of entering the drain field for further treatment, wastewater is filtered into an aerobic tank. Electricity-powered aerators, agitators, and other mechanical components pump oxygen into the container. Air circulation helps break down bacteria in the liquid quickly. After, the liquid moves into a pump tank, where UV light, chlorine tablets, or bleach is administered to disinfect it. When the pump tank is full, treated effluent is released into the soil through drip emitter piping in the ground or spray heads attached to the system.

Who Should Use an Aerobic System?

An aerobic system can benefit both homeowners and commercial business owners. If your property accumulates a lot of waste, switching to an aerobic system could prevent sewage backups inside your space. Aerobic bacteria treats wastewater quickly for release into the environment, so you won’t have to worry about a septic tank overflowing. Because wastewater is treated in a series of tanks and compartments, you don’t need a lot of land for a drain field. This helps conserve space if you don’t have space to install a wastewater treatment system.
