Guide to the design of septic tanks and stabilization lagoons
Excellent manual regarding the design of septic tanks and stabilization lagoons, carried out by the Pan American Health Organization and COSUDE, as a summary, I can tell you that septic tanks are used for the treatment of waste water in localities or places where there is no access to the sewage service. It is important to take into account that one of the main disadvantages of having septic tanks is related to that they cannot be used for more than 350 inhabitants and is limited to the filtration capacity of the soil and of course, it requires facilities for removal of sludge. But not all are disadvantages in this method, but it is also appropriate for rural communities, buildings, condominiums, hospitals, being their frequent cleaning and being their cost of construction and operation relatively low and good, if a sludge removal infrastructure is found the degree of difficulty in operation and maintenance is minimal.
