The autonomous septic tank

The autonomous septic tank is equipped with a buried tank used to store, treat and evacuate wastewater from the house. Clearly, this tank has two openings: one for the entry of wastewater and another for the exit of the treated water. Natural bacteria feed on organic matter in wastewater to break it down. As for solid waste, it settles at the bottom of the tank to form a layer of sludge. Oils and fatty materials form a layer of foam that floats on the surface. For the installation of your independent septic tank, call a professional and find out about the rates for sanitation work. Note that this type of sanitation system is particularly suitable for individual homes not connected to the municipal sewer network.

The sewerage sanitation system

Sewerage refers to the sanitation network set up under public roads and managed by the municipality. It is a network of underground pipes, designed to collect wastewater from households, businesses and institutions before discharging it to a treatment plant where it is treated. With reference to articles L.1331-1 of the Public Health Code and L.2224-10 of the General Code of Local Authorities, connection to the public wastewater collection network becomes an obligation in the following cases:

  • The network is located under the public highway.

  • Your house has access to this public road.

  • Your accommodation is built on a plot of land in the collective sanitation zone.

The micro-purification plant

The micro-purification plant is a septic tank equipped with a compact filter. It helps to reduce impacts on the surrounding soil by ensuring the pretreatment and treatment of domestic wastewater efficiently. The operation of this ecological individual sanitation solution is based on biological and physicochemical processes to decompose organic matter, eliminate contaminants and reduce the pollutant load of wastewater. The micro-purification plant can use different techniques such as aeration, decantation, filtration, biological reactions, etc. It is generally more compact than a municipal wastewater treatment plant and adapts perfectly to the needs of individual homes and small businesses.

Phytopurification or the treatment of wastewater by plants

Phytopurification is an eco-responsible choice in terms of individual sanitation. It uses plants as well as soil microorganisms to purify water. This system is based on the ability of plants to absorb, accumulate and degrade polluting substances present in wastewater. It usually consists of specially designed planted ponds where wastewater circulates through substrates like gravel, sand or aquatic plants. The different stages of the phytopurification process include mechanical filtration, biological degradation and nutrient uptake by plants.
