Modular Subsurface Wastewater Treatment System

A subsystem for subsurface treatment of wastewater, comprising:

• a first manifold having:
• a central lengthwise axis (CLA) extending in a horizontal plane along a length of the manifold,
• a front wall having an upper end and a lower end,
• a rear wall having an upper end and a lower end, wherein the front wall and the rear wall are integral with each other at respective upper ends and lower ends and wherein portions of the front wall and rear wall are spaced apart to define an internal cavity configured to hold;
• at least a first conduit port and a second conduit port extending from the rear wall, each of the first conduit port and the second conduit port defining an opening connected to said internal cavity;
• wherein each of the first conduit port and the second conduit port has a periphery running around an oblong shaped opening having a vertical major axis and a horizontal minor axis, each of the first conduit port and the second conduit port being shaped for to receive conduit having an oblong-shaped cross section;
• and
• at least a first connector port and an opposing second connector port, each of the first connector port and the second connector port extending along said CLA and defining an opening facing along said CLA that is connected to said internal cavity;
• wherein each of the first connector port opening and second connector port opening has an oblong shape that has a vertical major axis and a horizontal minor axis;
• wherein the first connector port is configured to fit within a second connector port of a second manifold being identical to the first manifold;
• and
• at least a first conduit and a second conduit, each conduit having a proximal end and a distal end and an oblong-shaped cross section, the first conduit and second conduit being configured to receive and disperse wastewater, wherein the proximal end of the first conduit is connected to said first conduit port of the first manifold and the proximal end of the second conduit is connected to the second conduit port of the first manifold.

A system for subsurface treatment of wastewater, comprising:

• one or more manifolds, each manifold having:
• a central lengthwise axis (CLA) extending along a length of the manifold;
• a front wall;
• a rear wall connected to the front wall;
• a first end;
• a second end opposite the first end, wherein the front wall, rear wall, first end, and second end define an internal cavity configured to receive and hold wastewater;
• at least first and second conduit ports extending from the rear wall, spaced apart along said CLA, each of the at least first and second conduit port defining an opening leading to said internal cavity, the opening having a vertical major axis and a horizontal minor axis;
• and,
• a first connector port located at the first end and second connector port located at the second end, each connector port defining an opening leading to said internal cavity;
• the opening having a vertical major axis and a horizontal minor axis;
• wherein the first connector port is configured to fit within the second connector port of an adjacent manifold;
• wherein the first connector port of each of the one or more manifolds is connected to the second connector port of an adjacent manifold, whereby the internal cavity of each manifold is in fluid flow communication with the internal cavity of an adjacent manifold;
• and
• one or more conduits configured to receive and disperse wastewater, each conduit having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of each conduit is connected to a conduit port of said manifold.
