Plastic Tank: Working Process
The ready-to-use septic tanks, partially liquefies and breaks up solid waste by gasification. Through this anaerobic bacteria develops. Scum is formed, which floats to the surface.
This reduces the waste to approximately 1/3 of its volume. The water that leaves the septic tank to the soak-away pit is clear and does not smell.
