Method for enhanced aerobic activity and bio-mat control for onsite wastewater disposal systems

摘要

The present invention provides an aeration lateral system designed to be site specific for new septic disposal areas or retro fitting to existing septic disposal areas to break up the biological clogging sludge mat at the interface of the wastewater and imported sand or native soil fill under or adjacent to disposal areas of a typical septic system. The lateral system provides uniform or other site specific distribution of fluids about the bio-mat of a wastewater disposal area, with lateral spacing and hole spacing varying based on the type of disposal area being utilized. The lateral system can also be utilized to provide continuous low volume air supply system to a wastewater disposal area or peat filter module. The air lateral installation includes methods to minimize airflow disturbance of the soil and methods to prevent air leakage.

主权项

1. A method of aerating a bio-mat, comprising the steps of:
supplying air to an air supply source; compressing air through said air supply source;
supplying compressed air to a series of aeration laterals having tapered diffuser holes therethrough to provide for even air distribution therethrough, said aeration laterals extending below a bio-mat, said tapered diffuser holes each having an inside diameter and an outside diameter, said inside diameter being smaller than said outside diameter; and expelling air from said aeration laterals through said tapered diffuser holes, said air flowing to said bio-mat to aerate said bio-mat.
