Abstract
A filtration system for processing effluent from septic-based sanitation systems includes at least one treatment tank for receiving effluent from a septic tank. The tank includes filtering media therein, the filtering media adapted for filtering the effluent to produce filtered effluent. The system includes structure for recirculating the filtered effluent, wherein a first portion of the filtered effluent is directed back onto the filtering media and a second portion of the filtered effluent is directed out of said tank. The system can obviate the need for a drain field in septic-based sanitation systems.
Claims23
A filtration system for processing effluent from septic-based sanitation systems, comprising:
- at least one treatment tank, said tank for receiving effluent from a septic tank, said tank including at least one filtering media therein, said filtering media adapted for filtering said effluent to produce filtered effluent, and
- structure for recirculating said filtered effluent, wherein a first portion of said filtered effluent is directed back onto said filtering media and a second portion of said filtered effluent is directed out of said tank.
A method of filtering effluent from septic-based sanitation systems, comprising the steps of:
- directing effluent from a septic tank into at least one treatment tank, said treatment tank including at least one filtering media therein, said filtering media adapted for filtering said effluent to produce filtered effluent, and
- recirculating at least a portion said filtered effluent, wherein a first portion of said filtered effluent is directed back onto said filtering media and a second portion of said filtered effluent is directed out of said tank.
