Often, in areas remote from centralized wastewater collection and treatment systems, septic tank systems are used for applications involving residential cluster systems, restaurants, nursing homes, and other commercial or institutional facilities. There is the potential to overlook important design considerations, which can differ substantially from the typical residential septic system.
This course focuses on the traditional septic tank system applied to commercial waste and multiple sources, using subsurface infiltration for wastewater disposal. It discusses the basis of septic system design and shows the importance of various factors associated with large flow or commercial applications. It also provides an excellent review of some of the most important considerations for septic tanks, including soil absorption system design and the benefits of using septic tank effluent filters.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe septic-tank systems and their applications.
- Identify important considerations when designing septic systems for large-flow applications.
- Explain recommended design parameters that may differ from those used for a standard single-residence septic system.
- Apply a detailed site-assessment approach to large-flow applications.
- Describe cost parameters and operation-and-maintenance considerations.
- Evaluate the benefits and operational considerations associated with septic-tank effluent screens.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
