Abstract
The present invention is a wastewater treatment system utilizing a recirculating filter system comprising sand, gravel, or synthetic media. Septic effluent is continuously, or approximately continuously, dosed under pressure to the treatment media through pressure compensating drip irrigation emitters. The dosed effluent is treated and dispersed into a dispersal field using double coiled distribution lines that can alternate flow through emitters to rest the dispersal field. The double coil dispersal lines allow more emitters per unit area allowing treatment of the effluent more slowly and effectively.
Claims15
A septic dispersal system comprising,
- a headworks,
- and a dispersal field wherein,
- the dispersal field comprises a first double coil dispersal line, wherein
- the first double coil dispersal line comprises two distribution tubes substantially adjacent extending in a horizontal coil,
- a second double coil dispersal line adjacent the first double coil dispersal line wherein,
- one distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and one distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel
- a second distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and a second distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel
- a flow in the parallel distribution tubes can be alternated such that one distribution tube in each double coil dispersal line flows at a time.
A method of effluent dispersal comprising,
- controlling effluent flow in a headworks,
- dispersing effluent into a dispersal field comprising,
- a first double coil dispersal line, wherein
- the first double coil dispersal line comprises two distribution tubes substantially adjacent extending in a horizontal coil,
- dispersing effluent into a dispersal field further comprises a second double coil dispersal line adjacent the first double coil dispersal line wherein,
- a first distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and a first distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel,
- a second distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and a second distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel,
- alternating a flow in the parallel distribution tubes such that one distribution tube in each double coil dispersal line flows at a time.
A septic dispersal system comprising,
- a dispersal field wherein,
- the dispersal field comprises a first double coil dispersal line, wherein
- the first double coil dispersal line comprises two distribution tubes substantially adjacent extending in a horizontal coil,
- a second double coil dispersal line adjacent to and spaced apart from the first double coil dispersal line wherein,
- one distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and one distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel,
- a second distribution tube from the first double coil dispersal line and a second distribution tube from the second double coil dispersal line flow in parallel,
- a flow in the parallel distribution tubes can be alternated such that one distribution tube in each double coil dispersal line flows at a time.
