What does an aerobic septic system look like?

1. Pretreatment tank: where influent enters from the home

2. Aeration chamber: where oxygen from the linear air compressor is pumped into the effluent

3. Clarifier: where clear processed effluent rises

4. Chlorinator: for disinfection

5. Pump tank: stores chlorinated effluent until discharged through the chosen method of disposal

An air compressor pumps oxygen into the aeration chamber while a control panel controls and monitors the system assuring proper operation.
