About This Book

A practical technical manual outlines methods for handling sewage from houses, hotels, and similar institutions, emphasizing site selection, sewage composition, bacterial action, and soil treatment. It describes construction and operation of settling tanks, valves and siphons, sub-surface irrigation systems, and various filters (intermittent sand, contact beds, sprinkling), and discusses broad irrigation and fertilizer value of effluent. The work supplies engineering detail, tables and drawings, dosing and distribution techniques, maintenance guidance, and cost-estimating items to aid planning and building of small-scale sewage disposal plants.
