What is a Soil Absorption System (SAS)?
The SAS (commonly referred to as the drainfield) is a component consisting of sands and/or other textural material and gravel which serves as the final stage of the wastewater treatment process. Typically, in this region four types of absorption components are commonly installed: conventional below grade (non-pressurized), below-grade (pressurized), at-grade and mound. In any instance, the absorption areas basically work under the same concept. Clarified liquid waste (effluent) is dispersed either by gravity (trickle flow) or via a pumping system (dosing) into the soil absorption system. Refer to each individual system for more detailed information.
