Effluent Brake - Component of a conventional septic system used to intercept the effluent pumped to a disposal field and reduce the energy level of the pumped sewage water before it enters an alternating valve or the first disposal field trench.
Effluent - Treated sewage from a septic tank or sewage treatment plant.
Egress - A means of exiting the property. An egress window is required in every bedroom and basement. Normally a 4' X 4' window is the minimum size required.
EFFLUENT: The water that flows out of the pump on its way through the filter, heating, treating equipment, and then returning to the pool. Also known as the pressure side.
EFFLUENT: The liquid discharge from a septic tank after bacterial treatment.
ELASTIC LIMIT: The limit to which a material can be bent or pulled out of shape and still return to its former shape and dimensions.
Effluent filters, about $70, are installed (by a contractor) in the exit baffle of the tank and stop the larger solids from getting out to the drainfield. These filters are cleaned every few years when you have your tank pumped.
off-gassing (effluent gazeux, m.) The gradual release of volatile and often toxic substances from a wide range of construction materials. These rates generally decrease over time.
When septic tank effluent rises to the level of the pump control in the pumping tank, the pump turns on, and effluent moves through the supply line and distribution laterals. The laterals contain small holes and are typically placed 3 to 8 feet apart.
Therefore the septic effluent leaving the leaching system entering the subsoil will acted upon by the aerobic soil bacteria to "treat" it or remove the pathogenic bacteria and viruses and some of the chemical nutrients.
BOD (bio-chemical oxygen demand) - BOD is a measure of how much oxygen in the water will be required to finish digesting the organic material left in the effluent. Ideally, the BOD would be zero.
There is no danger of fire, no smoke, no poisonous effluent released into the air, and a minimal amount of dust settles inside the house.
for heating purposes in laboratories, which has been rendered possible by the invention of the Bunsen burner, in which the mixture of air and gas giving the least luminous but most powerfully heating flame is effected automatically by the effluent ...
The solids settle to the bottom, the scum floats to the top and the liquid effluent flows through an outlet pipe into a distribution chamber, where it is directed to the septic field.
Septic Tank - A sewage disposal system normally consisting of two or three linked chambers within which bacterial processes breakdown the effluent, the final result being a liquid which can be fed into a land drain or soakaway.
Black water (from the toilet) flows to a green septic system, which disseminates effluent in a controlled way to fruit-tree roots.
An area containing a series of one or more trenches lined with coarse aggregate and conveying the effluent from the septic tank through vitrified clay Pine or perforated, non-metallic pipe, ...
A properly designed, built and maintained septic system will last for decades, and trying to reduce pumping intervals will more likely lead to a clogged leaching field as solids, not clear effluent, ...
Tiles Field - Open joint drain tiles laid to distribute septic tank effluent over an absorption area or to provide subsoil drainage in wet areas.
Tiles Floor - Tiles used to lay as or on a floor.
Sanitary T: Used on the waste side of plumbing to keep effluent flowing the correct direction.
An extractor hood consists of three main components: a skirt or capture panel to contain the rising gases (also known as the "effluent plume"), one or more grease filters, and a fan or tangential blower for forced ventilation.
A land area containing a series of subterranean perforated pipes that allow septic tank effluent to percolate into the soil; also called Disposal Field.
Leaching Pit ...
Leach Line: In sewage disposal, a loose tile or perforated pipeline used to distribute sewage effluent throughout the soil.
Lead Boot: See Collar ...
DRY WELL: A pit located in porous ground and lined with rock that allows water to seep through the pit. Used for the disposal of rain water of the effluent from a septic tank.
DUCTS: Sheet metal conductors for warm and cold air distribution.
A settling tank in which the sludge in the household sewage settles and the effluent discharges into an absorption field or seepage pit.
The distance from a street or front property line to the front of a building.
Shakes ...
Make sure grill equipment is in good shape. Propane or natural gas can leak from rusty tanks, cracked hoses, and corroded couplings, sending out a dangerous effluent.
Use kindling, rather than lighter fluid, to revive a flame.
It needs to be below the frost line so that the ground won't freeze and heave and break the line or freeze the effluent.
Dry well: A pit located on porous ground, walled up with rock, which allows water to seep through; used for the disposal of rain water or as the effluent from a septic tank.
Vacuum filters are open to the atmosphere and have a pump located at the effluent side of the filter. D.E. filters are attractive to many operators because they are relatively cheap to install and do not use chemicals.
