Clearing the Air: The Importance of Regular Septic Tank Maintenance

How is Bioaugmentation a Boon for Your Septic Tanks?Septic tanks are wastewater management systems at a smaller and/or personal scale. These are on-site, economical sewage disposal solutions that work well in areas without sewer networks. We can use them in various industries, houses situated in hilly areas, hospitals, outlier buildings, or a group of four or five houses. It handles solid and liquid organic waste that is drained and flushed down through toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, and other types of drains. There are two ways in which septic systems work. They are either aerobic septic systems or anaerobic septic systems. This article will help us to know more about them, septic treatment, and what problems septic tanks face. This will help you to resolve the issues related to septic tank..Aerobic Septic SystemsIn typical septic systems, wastewater flows to the leach field after leaving the septic tank, where oxygen-philic bacteria start to work. Aerobic bacteria in the soil eliminate any dangerous substance in the effluent as it is drawn downhill by gravity, preventing them from mixing with clean groundwater. The soil must be in ambient condition with maintained pH.The fundamental distinction between an aerobic treatment system (ATS) and a conventional septic system is that the former generates treated effluent of higher quality. At the same time, the latter needs smaller leach area..Anaerobic Septic SystemsWater flushed down the toilet or the drain enters your septic tank, which is impermeable. Since there is no oxygen present here, anaerobic microorganisms operate here. The bacteria will disintegrate the waste materials, preparing the wastewater for its next stop—the leach field.In the process of anaerobic digestion, microbes turn solid waste into treated and cleaner effluent. This technique is energy-efficient and is less expensive. It is typically used for high-strength industrial effluent with large amount of biodegradable organic matter.Everything alive in this world has a purpose to serve. The bacteria, too, serve a great objective. The organic and fecal matter already consist of good bacteria. When we flush the waste or drain it, many bacteria stick on the surface of the pipelines..What Do You Need to Know About Bacteria for Septic Tank?As we have read earlier, Bacteria are tiny invisible microbes yet the most vital part of any type of septic tank system. Throughout septic tank usage, these bacteria colonize everywhere in the system. When solid or liquid waste matter enters the tank, these bacteria help to degrade the matter in the tank. Thus, the need and perfect balance of healthy bacteria is necessary for maximum septic system efficiency. Over repeated actions, they expand their population; the better the colonization of bacteria, the more efficient degradation of organic matter, but this is not how the system works. There are numerous reasons why the community of bacteria for septic tank gets affected. When the microbial population gets compromised, solid waste begins to accumulate. This causes a problem in the septic tank and its functioning; hence, clogging becomes a major issue. Therefore, keeping your septic tank healthy is mandatory for the good health of these bacteria and, overall, for our health as well. Therefore, septic tank cleaning is done..What Affects the Microbial Community?1. The harsh chemicals that we useThe chemicals we use to clean toilets, bathrooms, sinks, or various other components contain several components that are harsh for us and these bacteria. The substances may include drain opener powder or liquid, bleach, strong acids or bases, ammonia, various surfactants, etc. This causes adverse effects on bacteria.2. Usage of anti-bacterial soapsAnti-bacterial soaps contain triclosan, triclocarban benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, and chloroxylenol. These products are used to kill germs from our bodies, but these chemicals end up killing the good bacteria present in the septic tank.3. Disposal of medicationsMany medicines are composed of substances that are not good for bacterial life. This includes antibiotics. They are used to treat bacterial infections or fever in animals and humans. There are many instances where medicines are flushed down the drain, when they are expired, when they are of no use, etc.4. Disposal of non-biodegradable matterPeople carelessly drain/ flush out non-biodegradable substances like cigarettes, pen ink, sanitary pads, tampons, and so on. Unfortunately, this causes hefty damage to bacterial lives, making them less in count and less effective.What can be done to restore the lives of these good bacteria? For starters, avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach, drain opener powder, ammonia, etc. Avoid draining excess water, medicines, and non-biodegradable matter. To maintain the effect of good bacteria, septic treatment needs to be done efficiently. To increase the microbial population, we can even go for bioaugmentation. But before that, let us understand the meaning of bioaugmentation and how it is done..What Is Bioaugmentation?Bioaugmentation incorporates organic culture (microorganisms) with the capacity to biodegrade resistant compounds in a polluted environment. Comparing this strategy to physiochemical approaches, it is less expensive and more eco-friendly.Increased levels of live bacteria and microorganisms in the treatment environment are how bioaugmentation works. Business owners may select cultures as per their needs. For example, they may go for the one discovered to be particularly effective when handling particular contaminants. Or they may choose specific microorganisms that are considered as high levels of effectiveness in this area..Benefits of Bioreme Bio cultureAs compared to other types of methods of restoration of bacteria, this method seems more cost-friendly. This process involves additional leverages like septic tank odor removal, working in most environmental conditions, etc. Since there is no usage/wastage of energy, bioaugmentation reduces carbon footprints.They are self-sufficient as once they are added, they do not require any type of manpower. Once added, the bacteria keep doing their function. You don’t need extra containers or reactors to clear up the mess. Bioaugmentation can be done at the site of the issue.How Can You Do Bioaugmentation?Septic treatment can be done with the help of bioaugmentation. With Bio Reme Septic, you can restore microbial life with many other benefits. Bio Reme Septic consists of wide variety of naturally selected anaerobic and facultative bacterial consortium that degrades organic waste from septic tank. It is single-celled microorganism that rapidly increases its population once they get their food (organic matter). The product has an incredible shelf life of 24 months. This product can be used in households, commercial, portable toilets, soak pits, holding tanks, etc.Benefits of BIO REME SEPTICSeptic tank odour removal - Over the due course of time, the septic tank begins to produce odour. The application helps eliminate odour.Prolongs their existence- These microbes can withstand the cleaning chemicals like bleach, detergent, grease & oil, etc.Effective under most environmental conditions.Naturally restores the biological health of the bacteria..With the advancements in the world, there has been much awareness about waste management. Hence, we also need to know how to maintain these waste treatment plants. Different Bio Reme products can act as an aid in the maintenance of different waste treatment plants.
