Sewerage

Choosing a tool for cesspools

"Doctor Robik" Roetech

It is always possible to ensure the efficiency of an autonomous sewerage system at home or a summer cottage outside the city, as well as to solve the problem of frequent cleaning of a wastewater storage tank or a septic tank, if you use a cesspool product. Sewerage systems of any level during operation require attention, careful maintenance and timely cleaning. This applies to sewer cesspools, toilets in summer cottages and septic tanks. Timely maintenance of autonomous sewer systems eliminates the risk of harmful substances and pathogenic microbes entering the external environment.

Preparations for cleaning the cesspool

The modern market offers a huge range of antiseptic, disinfecting and utilizing sewage preparations for any local sewage system. They allow you to effectively deal with problems in the operation of the drainage system.

Such drugs have both chemical and biological effects. It promotes:

The fastest decomposition of organic residues.
Reducing the volume and liquefaction of bottom sediments.
Disinfection of sewerage.
Elimination of stench and poisonous fumes.
Effective cleaning of septic tanks and drainage wells.

Regular use of drugs allows you to significantly reduce the frequency of pumping out sewage mechanically and reduce the cost of the services of a sewage machine.

Chemicals

Previously, chemicals from the group of:

formaldehydes;
nitrate oxidizing agents;
ammonium salts;
bleach.

Formaldehyde

Effluent dissolver and deodorizer

This is the most accessible chemical preparation. It is a derivative of formic acid, and its solution is called formalin. Formaldehyde is obtained by oxidizing methane on a silver catalyst using high pressure technology and at a temperature of 650 degrees.

It is used as a broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiseptic agent. Formaldehyde destroys harmful microorganisms and promotes the decomposition of human waste. It is a cheap, but very harmful, highly toxic carcinogen. Its dose of 10 grams can be fatal to humans and animals. Therefore, today it is practically discontinued and is used extremely rarely.

Nitrate oxidizers

These drugs make up an expensive series of chemicals, but they are gentle on the environment.

Nitric acid compounds, after reaction with sewage in the pit, form mixtures suitable as fertilizers. Nitrate oxidizers break down fecal matter, turning it into a homogeneous liquid that is easier to pump out of sewers.

These oxidizers are quite effective and have a high price. They are used in the systems of treatment facilities of urban utilities. Contacting with metal, nitrate oxidizing agents form salts.

Ammonium preparations

Such chemicals quickly come into contact with sewage and destroy fetid fumes. However, the presence of detergents and residues of household chemicals in drains reduces their effectiveness.

The interaction of quaternary ammonium compounds with the environment has not been fully studied. The contents of cesspools after disinfection with ammonium chemicals are subject to removal by sewage trucks to urban septic tanks.

Ecological biological products

Cesspool cleaner

The most profitable and safe are biological preparations for cesspools. They reduce the cost of constant cleaning of local sewerage and do not harm the environment, as they are environmentally friendly products.

Biological preparations, which are based on live anaerobic bacteria and complex enzymes, decompose sewage from human household activities. Waste in pits, septic tanks and toilets is a breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms.

Biological products accelerate natural cleaning and utilize:

feces;
toilet paper;
body fat;
organics;
various organic waste;
insects and worms;
the cloth.

Therefore, they prevent the development of pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the formation of toxic gases and fumes.

As a result of their work, the organic matter of the pit breaks down into silt mineral sediment, gas and water, and the volume of its contents decreases significantly.

Release form of biological products

Preparation for the neutralization of wastewater and the contents of collections of sewage

Biological bacterial-enzyme preparations are produced by the industry in several forms:

The liquid form is produced with a high degree of concentration, which allows it to be used in small quantities.
The powder and granular form consists of dormant anaerobic bacteria. They wake up at the moment they enter the aquatic environment of the cesspool. Their activation and reproduction occurs in conditions of positive temperatures and the presence of a nutrient organic environment. Purified water after biological preparations can be safely used for watering plants.
The tablet form is very convenient and specially designed for cesspools. It contributes to the purification of bottom sediments and solid particles.

Processed by living bacteria in the cesspool and toilets, fecal matter and toilet paper at the outlet become mineral fertilizers.

Chemical antiseptics or biological products - which is better?

All kinds of chemical and biological preparations produced by the industry, used for modern cleaning of sewage storage tanks, cesspools and septic tanks, ensure the effective processing of feces and wastewater. They disinfect them, turning sewage into sludge. The water formed as a result of sewage processing, having reached a certain level in drainage wells, spontaneously seeps into the soil.

All preparations intended for servicing cesspools and septic tanks have both positive and negative sides:

Benefits of bioactivators

Chemicals "work" in any temperature conditions. Live bacteria and microorganisms in the composition of biological preparations are viable only at positive temperatures ranging from +4 to +30 degrees.
Chemical preparations work calmly in conditions of hard water and aggressive environments in which chlorine and antiseptic substances are present. Microorganisms, on the other hand, cannot withstand such conditions and die without fulfilling their functions.
Chemical compounds have a detrimental effect not only on metal sewer pipes, exposing them to corrosion, but also on plastic, deforming and destroying its structure. Biological products are absolutely harmless to sewer pipelines made of both metal and plastic.
Chemicals have a negative impact on the environment. Having harmful substances and carcinogens in their composition, they have a detrimental effect on the biosphere. Once in the soil, chemicals infect it, while destroying beneficial biological enzymes in its composition.

After chemical treatment, the contents of cesspools and septic tanks cannot be used as fertilizers.

Biological preparations decompose sewage without emitting harmful substances into the atmosphere, effectively utilize them and regulate the ecological balance in nature. They are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Being harmless to humans and any animal, they accelerate the decay of sewage waste, while being excellent antiseptics and disinfectants.

Bio favorite for home use

Any chemical preparation for cesspools is aggressive in its composition and violates the ecological balance in nature. It must be used carefully, using personal protective equipment. Direct contact with skin or mucous membranes causes poisoning and burns. Sewage decomposed with the help of chemistry, getting into the soil or natural water sources, can accumulate harmful substances in them, leading to environmental contamination.

Conclusion

In order to opt for a specific preparation for, it is necessary to decide how the processed effluents will be used in the future. If they are not needed as fertilizer, you can safely resort to chemicals, while observing precautions.

If the processed sewage will be used as fertilizer for a summer cottage, then you need to choose biological preparations. In extreme cases, you can use nitrate salts.
