    I worked at a septic tank company in Roosevelt, UT back in the early 80s, & instead of rebar, we formed a heavy steel mesh that resembled sheep-tight fencing over the steel tank molds, having previously painted them with used motor oil as a release agent. I had the darkest tan those summers. We cast the tanks upsidedown with the center rectangular space-holder as a non removable, permanent part of the mold. The rest is pretty much the same.

    I use to work for a company that made big concrete boxes for under ground communication bunkers for ATT there are thousands of those boxes underground from one end of this country to the other. The cement mix these guys use would never pass structural integrity tests, waaay to wet! We poured our cement with very little slump and dry. We used stick vibrators to move the cement into the forms and covered them and steam cured them overnight. They were so hard in the morning that if you hit them with a hammer they would sing.

      If the concrete is too wet, it won't cure properly. If it's too dry, the chemical reaction won't be complete. I must admit, however, I don't know anything about steam curing concrete. Just imagine what's required to cure special hardened concrete in structures like prisons.

      Almost everything people think is made by robots is made by people working with their hands. For a short time, I had a job working a company which mails ready made meal-kits to people's homes. We chopped all of the onions, broccoli, etc... by using chef's knifes and cutting boards in a refrigerated room. Factory- made meals are not always made by robots. I would prefer that each family have 1 person spend 10 minutes chopping onions each day rather than some poor soul like me spend 8 hours per day chopping onions, but many people seem to prefer buying factory-made meals rather than cook their own dinner.

      To put it simply, solid waste falls to the bottom of the first chamber and the liquid waste flows over the dividing chamber wall into the second chamber. From there, the liquids flow out into a leach bed where they seep into the ground to be filtered naturally. Throughout the system, bacteria digest the solid waste product, doing most of their work inside the septic tank.

There was never any snow over a three-foot area above the tank during the upstate New York winter.

Obviously, there is much aerobic activity generating large amounts of methane in septic tanks. Why waste it?

    After servicing these things for six years I can tell you that the design is stupid. A square box with a lid. Here's the issue. The bottom is flat, and those manholes do not allow easy access for long handled scrapers used to pull out as much material as possible. It is my professional opinion that the bottom should be concave, Even a mild curved bottom would allow for contents to concentrate in the center where the vac hoses end up. Oh, and another thing. Placing these things way out in a grassy area, far from the road is also stupid. Makes it take way too much hose, just as setting them in the middle of parking areas (and I mean your parking space) is also problematic. These are the same concrete tanks used by any place with a large commercial kitchen to collect dish sink wastes. (Called an Grease Interceptor, or Interceptor). I service them in fast food drive thru's, parking lots of all sorts, retirement homes - in one such place they placed it on the far side of the building, so we have to back a 40k truck over the lawn to reach it).

    But how does it really work?
    Does the tanks are filled up from the side or the top?
    Does the first compartment get filled up with material, and when there is too much solid material,
    then the second compartment get filled up, and then the third one?
    But there is a small opening on the side of the third one, so does the liquid only part get drained outside?
    How often do you need to empty and clean up the tank?

    • @Tonnsfabrication
      @Tonnsfabrication 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The first compartment takes on liquids and soilds where a bacteria reduces the solids to a liquid/ sludge. That liquid then flows to the next tank where it exits to a leach field. On average in a normal household the sludge will need removed every 5 years.
