Septic System Design
Most private septic systems are made up of two parts: The holding and digesting tanks and the dispersal field. The system shown here is a small system, designed for limited use of by two people with no laundry and a small travel trailer. The concept is the same as a larger system, but the tank is much smaller. This system uses two 55 gallon drums, as opposed to the 1000 to 2000 gallon tanks used for a large home. The system we are creating here also has a dispersal field about one third that of a large home.
