Regarding soil treatment systems and commercial system design, one of the biggest issues is failing to consider organic loading properly.If we use the hydraulic loading rates from convention codes to find the required size of the dispersal component, there is a maximum organic loading rate. The concern with waste strength is not with environmental protection, but with soil treatment system longevity. If excessive organic material or solids reach the soil, the biological clogging mat can become restrictive to the point of hydraulic failure. In addition, excessive oil and grease can clog pipes.The table below shows typical loading rates used across
Commercial System Design: The Soil Dispersal System
Considering organic loading rates for the soil treatment area is a critical part of designing a system that will handle commercial wastewater.
