A Septic Tank system needs to be cleaned out and inspected on a regular schedule which depends on how many people live in the house and the size of the tank. Your tank can be inspected by the use of a mini-cam inserted into the sewage line through the clean-out pipe.
If the tank inspection shows that it needs cleaning, then a pump-out truck will empty the tank and carry the vacuumed contents to a sewage treatment plant. Maui has 35 wastewater treatment plants. All of these plants are biological. Very large tanks of bacteria are supported at optimum living conditions. The bacteria are fed sewage, which the bacteria converts to water, more bacteria and gasses. This process requires the manipulation of a biological environment to achieve the ideal conditions.
An Aerobic sewage treatment in Maui system is an Individual Sewage Treatment System that uses aerobic bacteria to process sewage in an individual tank. Aerobic bacteria are very tiny bugs that find the perfect environment in the tank. They can perform at an accelerated rate in this environment. Sewage Treatment in Maui is best accomplished by this process.
The aerobic system uses a small air compressor in a remote location and a single septic tank divided into two compartments. Wastewater enters through an inlet pipe into an outer chamber for aeration. Here it is mixed with air bubbles generated by the aerator which suspends the sludge. This allows microorganisms to remove soluble contaminate matter from the wastewater which then enables this material to be utilized as a source of energy for production of new microorganisms. The microorganisms will form clumps that entrap organic matter.
The organic matter is then attacked by enzymes that easily convert the solids to make organic matter. This matter is then consumed by millions of aerobic bacteria which convert the wastewater to a liquid known as effluent. This is a repetitious process. While most of the sludge gets converted to effluent, some sludge will eventually need to be pumped out, depending on the size of your aerobic system and how many people occupy your home. It is recommended that you have your aerobic system pumped as often as you would a Septic system.
