What new technologies are available in onsite sewage treatment?
The ISTS industry continues to embrace new technology to improve treatment and provide cost efficiencies. One of the most current areas of interest is pre-treatment. Pre-treatment technologies provide treatment of the wastewater before it is discharged into the soil treatment area (trenches, mound, at-grade), minimizing the work of the treatment area, and possibly extending the life of the system. Some types of pre-treatment include aerobic tanks, peat filters, sand filters, and constructed wetlands. The Designer is an excellent resource for finding out more about the possibilities of new technology applications for your onsite sewage treatment system.
