Here’s a Quick Review of Gravity Distribution to the Trench

We’ve had a few questions related to hydraulic and organic loading of treatment areas through gravity and pressure distribution systems. We were going to jump right into a discussion about various ways effluent is delivered to sewage treatment and dispersal areas. But then we thought we should take a step back and talk about how systems operate under gravity and pressure distribution in a general way to highlight the differences. We will discuss gravity distribution and next month pressure distribution within trenches. Whether distribution in the trench is by gravity or pressure, the objectives are the same: The soil needs to
