      The difference between a septic tank and an autonomous sewage system

      Septic tanks and an autonomous sewage system refer to local treatment facilities that must be installed in a country house for human comfort. The sewage system from septic tanks and the autonomous sewage system perform wastewater treatment, the main difference between them is the method of treatment.
      The first thing that distinguishes a septic tank from an autonomous sewage system is the principle of processing. Aerobic bacteria better decompose biological waste, the result of their vital activity is mineralized sludge. It is used as a fertilizer. Sludge formation occurs slowly, you can remove the excess yourself using a submersible pump or its equivalent.
      Features of the arrangement of an autonomous sewage system:

      1. Connection to the mains is mandatory. For the vital activity of aerobic bacteria, water must be enriched with oxygen, for which one or more compressors are provided in the treatment plant.
      2. No additional filtration measures are needed, the liquid is purified up to 99%. But to use it as water, additional purification is required.
      3. Relative disadvantage – downtime should not exceed 7-10 days, otherwise the number of aerobic bacteria will begin to decrease rapidly. But even in this case, you can replenish their quantity with the help of special additives. The time to reach a full-fledged processing cycle will be 3-5 days.

      Types of Septic Systems

      Septic system design and size can vary widely, from within your neighborhood to across the country, due to a combination of factors. These factors include household size, soil type, site slope, lot size, proximity to sensitive water bodies, weather conditions, or even local regulations. Below are ten of the most common types of septic systems used. The list is not all-inclusive; there are many other types of septic systems.
      The most common septic systems from septic tanks:

      • Septic Tank
      • Conventional System
      • Chamber System
      • Drip Distribution System
      • Aerobic Treatment Unit
      • Mound Systems
      • Recirculating Sand Filter System
      • Evapotranspiration System
      • Constructed Wetland System
      • Cluster / Community System

      I can’t figure out why there are such different prices for septic tanks and biological wastewater treatment plants? Can someone explain why septic tanks of the same volume have different prices?

        The price of an autonomous sewage system and septic tanks is formed based on the operational functionality, the quality of the installation, the volume of the tank, the popularity of the manufacturer and other working and technical qualities.
        The cost of an autonomous sewage system depends on:

        • The complexity of the design of a particular system. Standard tanks, which do not use airlifts and aerators, cost significantly less (several times) than septic tanks with such innovative solutions implemented.
        • The volumes of the installed containers. Of course, large-volume structures entail significant material consumption. For this reason, the cost in general grows naturally.
        • Autonomous system performance. This factor is similar to the previous one, because the cost is also fully dependent on the cost of labor resources and the amount of materials used. In addition, high-performance designs quite often require the installation of more powerful equipment: in a situation with septic tanks, powerful compressors.
        • Manufacturer brand awareness. Now there are a lot of companies and brands that make septic tanks, the more famous the brand, the more expensive their products will be.
        • The cost of a septic tank strongly depends on the reliability of the materials used to create it, the sales season (in summer and spring, the price of septic tanks will be higher than in winter or autumn), the total cost of a turnkey installation and other criteria.
