Septic Tank:
Primary Treatment

How the Tank Works
The content so fhte septic tank separate into three layers:

• Floating scum layer - soaps, greases, toilet paper, etc.
• Liquid layer - water, liquid, and suspended solids
• Sludge - heavy organic and inorganic materials at the bottom of the tank.

Naturally-occuring bacteria in the sewage begin to break down organic materials in the tank.  This is often referred to as primary treatment.  Pathogens in the waste are NOT destroyed in the septic tank.  Bacteria in the septic tank prepare the wastewater for final treatment in the drainfield.
