Fundamental principles for effective sewage disposal, from settling basins to absorption systems. This concise volume outlines practical design ideas for treating residential sewage, including tank sizing, ventilation, and methods to prevent solids from escaping. It compares different treatment approaches and explains how local conditions affect performance and cost.
The book discusses how to use settling tanks to separate solids and grease, how to manage waste flow, and the role of dosing devices in applying tank effluent to absorption beds or subsurface irrigation. It also covers options like sand filter beds and underground tile or pipe networks, with notes on maintenance and odor control. Practical guidance is provided for two?story tank designs, underdraining, and grouping underground networks to adapt to site conditions.
- How to size and ventilate settling tanks and why tank contents should remain undisturbed
- When and why to use absorption systems, subsurface irrigation, or sand beds
- The importance of dosing, maintenance, and odor control in sewage disposal
- How local soil and ground conditions influence drainage layouts and long?term costs
Ideal for readers of early 20th?century sanitary engineering, infrastructure planners, and anyone seeking a historical perspective on sewage treatment concepts and their practical application.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the composition and treatment of sewage starting with its history and early records and moving into the methods used at the time of publication. It addresses public water supplies and shellfish layings as related to bacterial content, but focuses mostly on the impact of sewage on inland streams, lakes, oceans, and tidal estuaries. It also examines various treatment works, both historical and modern, which can be employed to clean waste before it is released into the environment. The author stresses the foundational nature of biological processes and their impact on treatment method efficacy, and emphasizes the importance of understanding sewage composition for effective and cost-efficient sewage treatment to avoid negative impacts on public health and the environment. The insights presented in this book are essential reading for anyone involved in sewage treatment or disposal, as they provide a comprehensive and practical understanding of the subject.
