forralótartály

A forralótartály, commonly referred to as a holding tank or retention tank in English, is a crucial component in many sanitation systems, particularly in recreational vehicles, boats, and portable toilets. Its primary function is to temporarily store human waste and wastewater before it can be properly disposed of. This tank is distinct from the fresh water tank, which stores potable water for use.

Forralótartálys are typically constructed from durable, non-porous materials such as plastic or fiberglass to prevent leaks and corrosion. They are designed to be sealed, preventing the escape of odors and pathogens. Many forralótartálys incorporate chemical treatments to help break down waste, reduce odors, and facilitate easier emptying. These treatments often contain bacteria or enzymes that accelerate the decomposition process.

The size of a forralótartály varies depending on the application and the number of users it is intended to serve. Regular emptying is essential to prevent overflow and maintain hygiene. The process of emptying, often called "dumping," involves connecting the forralótartály to a designated disposal facility, such as a septic system or a sewage hookup. Proper maintenance and timely emptying are key to the effective and sanitary operation of any system utilizing a forralótartály.
