This document provides an overview of subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), also known as septic systems. It discusses the key components of septic systems including septic tanks, drainfields, and the soil beneath. It describes the physical, chemical, and biological treatment processes involved. Requirements for SSTS include proper site and soil conditions. Design considerations include sizing of tanks and drainfields. Proper operation and maintenance, such as periodic pumping, is also outlined. Advantages include low cost and returning nutrients to soil, while disadvantages can include odor and potential pollution.
Redox Environment B.V. at Winterswijk, The netherlands, has developped a total process for waterrecycling for municipal and office buildings, laoding stations, small municipalities,etc., etc,.
There is an intrinsic connection between biodiversity conservation, water and sanitation. With appropriate technologies, wastewater can be treated to produce fit-for-purpose water with recovery of nutrients to enhance biodiversity conservation in terms of flora and fauna. This project highlights a pilot subsurface flow Constructed Wetland unit in order to identify its performance in treating domestic wastewater and in recovering nutrients.
The project won the 1st Prize in National Quarry Life Award in 2012 in Tanzania.

Domestic Wastewater Treatment by Root Zone Technology Option: Colacassia PlantDr. Amarjeet Singh
Root Zone Technology is one of the low cost
methods to treat wastewater. With the help of this system we
can treat the Non-Point sources with best results. To achieve
this goal we have to divide the Non-Point sources into
constructed channels within the river bank followed by root
zone bed or if the Non-Point Sources is coming from natural
nallas we can provide this system within its Channel. We
have prepared channel on which I have developed the root
zone bed and have lab analysis of rector out put on number
of parameters. Flow rate and Detention time are the two
factors on which channels are to be designed. Therefore I
am changing the flow rate and finding out the change in
parameter with respect to detection time. The optimization
is when we get best result with maximum flow. I have got
satisfactory results for the detention time of Three day,
Seven day and twenty one day and Three day. With the help
of this data I have designed the root zone bed system for the
selected actual Domestic Sources.
My presentation is about the natural treatment system, for what and all the water is used to the public environment. Also the treating the water with High-technology instrument.
Irrigation with municipal waste water is a suitable disposal option in all regions where additional moisture can be effectively utilized for improved crop production. Waste water loading is to be based on the consumptive water use of the crop being grown. The primary objective should be enhancement of crop production. The root zone of productive soils can often serve as one of the most active media for the decomposition, immobilization, or utilization of wastes.

Wastewater treatment by vermi filtration technologyvivatechijri
Vermifiltration units are sludge-free, noise-free and low- or no-electricity-requiring systems of
operation. The aim of this study was to emphasize wastewater treatment by vermifiltration technology using
waste-eater earthworms to highlight the benefits of clean and nutritive vermifiltered water (vermiaqua) uses in
agriculture to the farmers. They work on natural capacity of earthworms to treat wastewater from different
sources. In view of rising concern about pollution of water bodies due to discharge of waste in them, it is
necessary to initiate alternative thinking as conventional methods through STPs (Sewage treatment Plants) have
had limited success. In recent years the application of specifically designed filtration based technology
(popularly known as Vermifiltration technology) for treatment of wastewater municipal, urban and agricultural,
is becoming widely acceptable. It treats the wastewater in natural manner without the use of chemicals. In
short, Vermifiltration technology is an improved filtration system for treatment of wastewater. The main
objective of present research work is to provide and popularize a simple, feasible, practically sound, ecofriendly and cost effective technology for wastewater treatment. Vermifiltration technology is such a type of
system, which reduces the impact of sewage and converts into useful water for gardening and irrigation
purpose.

Soil based water treatment
- to improve or upgrade the quality of waste water .
Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS)
SEPTIC SYSTEMS Or INDIVIDUAL
SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEMS (ISTS)
Used mainly in homes and business, not connected to
municipal sewer.
With these systems, wastewater is re-introduced to the
environment for human needs.
Common method to solve scarcity.
3
4. SEPTIC SYSTEMS
A permanent solution to waste water treatment , produced
in bedroom, kitchen, laundry.
Used when treatment plants are not accessible.
Main parts are: Septic tank , Drainfield , Soil beneath the
drain field.
1.SEPTIC TANK:
o Watertight concrete box, 9feet long and 5feet height
o Buried in ground just outside
o Retain waste water for 24-36 hours.
o Treat wastewater by bacteria. 4
5. 2.DRAINFIELD:
o Connected by a buried pipe.
o Consists of 2 to 5 trenches excavated into the subsoil.
o Also called nitrification field / soil absorption field.
o Sole purpose - deliver wastewater to soil.
CONTD…

6. CONTD….
3.SOIL BENEATH DRAINFIELD:
o Wastewater trickle down through gravel to the soil.
o Used only on soils that will absorb and purify the effluents
o Soil will be in uniform brown, yellow/ bright red.
o Neither too sand or too clay, good structure, avoid rock.

8. TREATMENT
SSTS treatment is a combination of: physical , chemical
and biological .
PHYSICAL TREATMENT:
Physical process include
Sedimentation , Screening , Aeration , Filtration ,
Floatation &Skimming , Equalization.
•Sedimentation process is by the use of septic tank.
8
9. • In septic tank solid waste in waste water settle down due to
gravity(sludge).
• Scum will float on top of water, helps anaerobic bacteria to
degrade organic components.

• Pollutants like phosphorous can then be easily removed.
• Chemical industry uses polymer (later stage)
physical separation & excess microbial activity.
CHEMICAL TREATMENT:
• Chemicals used to create changes in pollutants.
• Increase the removal by physical process by adding chemicals
like alum, lime, iron salt.
11
12. • Pathogens die-change in temperature, food, moisture or
absorbed by soil fungi.
• Negatively charged soil -chemicals, nutrients.
CONTD…...
BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT:
• Bacteria &small organisms treat wastewater by
biochemical decomposition.
• Viruses are removed by negatively charged soil particle.
12
15. REQUREMENTS OF SSTS
Installation should be approved by health department before
construction.
Should conduct site & soil investigation to have best soil.
Use only on soils which will adequately absorb and purify
the effluents.
15
16. 16
Solid waste that accumulate on septic tank should be pumped
out and disposed off at appropriate locations.
Do not pour paint, paint thinners, pesticides, poisons, fat,
cooking grease, oils, solvents, disinfectants etc.
Septic tank & drain field should be properly maintained.
CONTD…..
17. DESIGN CRITERIA
SEPTIC TANK
Water tight , stable structure for performance, durable,
resistant to corrosion.
Tank size: bedrooms, no. of inhabitants , water using
appliances.
Should hold at least one week of waste flow.
Key factor: quantity of sewage it can store, rate of waste
discharged, liquid surface area.
