Sewage Treatment Plants

A sewage treatment plant is a devise designed to biologically treat sewage to a higher degree then a septic tank. This higher degree is sometimes needed as space or soil constraints do not allow a conventional septic tank and field. With a treatment plant the field size can generally be reduced.

Most all sewage treatment plants accomplish this higher degree of treatment by utilizing an aerobic type of bacteria to digest the sewage particles. These aerobic bacteria needs a certain amount of oxygen to survive and complete their task of eating the sewage.

Some plants use a small compressor to supply this oxygen while others will blow the water into the atmosphere similar to a fountain in a stagnant pond. Whiles still others will be equipped with disks that revolve half in and out of the sewage and consequently adding oxygen into the sewage.
