infiltraatsioonisüsteemi

Infiltraatsioonisüsteemi, also known as a leach field or septic system, is a critical component of many wastewater treatment systems, particularly in areas not served by municipal sewer lines. Its primary function is to treat and disperse wastewater from a building or property. The system typically consists of a septic tank and a network of underground trenches or a bed filled with gravel or other aggregate.

Wastewater from the building first enters the septic tank, where solids settle to the bottom and oils and greases float to the top. The partially treated liquid effluent then flows out of the septic tank into the infiltration system. This effluent percolates through the gravel and then into the surrounding soil. The soil acts as a natural filter, removing pathogens, bacteria, and other contaminants before the water eventually reaches the groundwater.

The effectiveness of an infiltraatsioonisüsteemi depends on several factors, including soil type, water table depth, and the maintenance of the septic tank. Regular pumping of the septic tank is essential to prevent solids from entering and clogging the infiltration system, which can lead to system failure and environmental contamination. Proper design and installation are crucial to ensure the longevity and functionality of the system.
