Field Theory
Septic Tank Function- Standard traditional septic tanks are anaerobic (without air), and are designed to allow the separation and settling of organic solid materials (food for bacteria). A portion of these organic solid materials liquefy. Heavy solids settle to the bottom of the tank and form sludge. Buoyant materials such as fats, oil, and greases float to the top creating scum. The accumulated sludge and scum will require frequent removal accomplished through pumping out the tank. Any organic material that goes to the leach field is in a dissolved form.
Leach Field Function- Leach fields are designed to move the septic liquid into the aerobic (with air) portion of the soil where, under proper conditions, abundant natural bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, insects, etc. can digest the organic material contents, leaving clean water to pass into the soil.
