- Abstract
The article cites a research study that analyzes the performance of septic system absorption field products in a profile-limited soil that was fed at the maximum allowable rate based on soil morphology. It is said that household wastewater management affects several people in rural communities in the U.S. Most of the people depends on septic systems as their means of household wastewater disposal. Four differing absorption-field product architecture types were studied to evaluate performance, as measured by the in-product height of stored solution. In a profile-limited, Captina silt loam soil, five chamber, two gravel-less pipe, two polystyrene aggregate, and four pipe-and-gravel systems were installed.
