Common wastewater contains small amounts of oils which enter into septic tanks and treatment facilities to form a floating <a title=\"Scum\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Scum\">scum<\/a> layer. This scum layer is very slowly digested and broken down by microorganisms in the <a title=\"Anaerobic digestion\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Anaerobic_digestion\">anaerobic digestion<\/a> process. However, very large amounts of oil from food production in kitchens and restaurants can overwhelm the septic tank or treatment facility, causing a release of untreated sewage into the environment. Also, high viscosity fats and cooking greases such as <a title=\"Lard\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Lard\">lard<\/a> solidify when cooled, and can combine with other disposed solids to form blockages in drain pipes.<\/p>\n<p>Grease traps have been used since the Victorian era. They are used to reduce the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG\u2019s) that enter the main sewers. Effectively they are boxes within the drain run that flows between the sinks in a kitchen to the foul sewer system. They only have waste water flowing through them and are not served by any other drainage system such as toilets. They can be made from a number of different materials; e.g. Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Plastics, Concrete, Cast Iron and can hold anywhere between 40 liters to 45000 liters and above. They can be located above ground, below ground, inside the kitchen or outside the building.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>septic tank<\/strong>, the key component of the <strong>septic system<\/strong>, is a small scale <a title=\"Sewage treatment\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sewage_treatment\">sewage treatment<\/a> system common in areas with no connection to main sewage pipes provided by local governments or private corporations. (Other components, typically mandated and\/or restricted by local governments, optionally include pumps, alarms, <a title=\"Sand filter\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sand_filter\">sand filters<\/a>, and clarified liquid effluent disposal means such as a <a title=\"Septic drain field\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Septic_drain_field\">septic drain field<\/a>, ponds, natural stone fibre filter plants or <a title=\"Sphagnum\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sphagnum\">peat moss<\/a> beds.) Septic systems are a type of On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF). In <a title=\"North America\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/North_America\">North America<\/a> approximately 25% of the population relies on septic tanks; this can include suburbs and small towns as well as rural areas (<a title=\"Indianapolis\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Indianapolis\">Indianapolis<\/a> is an example of a large city where many of the city&#8217;s neighborhoods are still on separate septic systems). In Europe they are generally limited to rural areas only.<\/p>\n<p>The term &#8220;septic&#8221; refers to the <a title=\"Anaerobic digestion\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Anaerobic_digestion\">anaerobic bacterial<\/a> environment that develops in the tank and which decomposes or mineralizes the waste discharged into the tank. Septic tanks can be coupled with other <a title=\"Onsite sewage facility\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Onsite_sewage_facility\">on-site wastewater treatment<\/a> units such as biofilters or aerobic systems involving artificial forced <a title=\"Aeration\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Aeration\">aeration<\/a>.<sup id=\"cite_ref-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-0\"><span>[<\/span>1<span>]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Periodic <a title=\"Preventive maintenance\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Preventive_maintenance\">preventive maintenance<\/a> is required to remove the irreducible solids which settle and gradually fill the tank, reducing its efficiency. In most jurisdictions this maintenance is required by law, yet often not enforced. Those who ignore the requirement will eventually be faced with extremely costly repairs when solids escape the tank and destroy the clarified liquid effluent disposal means. A properly maintained system, on the other hand, can last for decades and possibly a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wastewater<\/strong> is any <a title=\"Water\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Water\">water<\/a> that has been adversely affected in quality by <a title=\"Anthropogenic\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Anthropogenic\">anthropogenic<\/a> influence. It comprises liquid waste discharged by domestic residences, commercial properties, industry, and\/or agriculture and can encompass a wide range of potential contaminants and concentrations. In the most common usage, it refers to the municipal wastewater that contains a broad spectrum of contaminants resulting from the mixing of wastewaters from different sources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sewage<\/strong> is correctly the subset of wastewater that is contaminated with <a title=\"Feces\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Feces\">feces<\/a> or <a title=\"Urine\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Urine\">urine<\/a>, but is often used to mean any waste water. &#8220;<a title=\"Sewage\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sewage\">Sewage<\/a>&#8221; includes domestic, municipal, or industrial <a title=\"Waste\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Waste\">liquid waste products<\/a> disposed of, usually via a <a title=\"Pipeline transport\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Pipeline_transport\">pipe<\/a> or <a title=\"Sanitary sewer\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sanitary_sewer\">sewer<\/a> or similar structure, sometimes in a <a title=\"Cesspool emptier\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Cesspool_emptier\">cesspool emptier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The physical infrastructure, including pipes, <a title=\"Pump\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Pump\">pumps<\/a>, screens, channels etc. used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal is termed <a title=\"Sanitary sewer\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sanitary_sewer\">sewerage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human waste<\/strong> is a waste type usually used to refer to byproducts of <a title=\"Digestion\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Digestion\">digestion<\/a>, such as <a title=\"Feces\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Feces\">feces<\/a> and <a title=\"Urine\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Urine\">urine<\/a>. Human waste is most often transported as <a title=\"Sewage\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sewage\">sewage<\/a> in waste water through <a title=\"Sanitary sewer\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sanitary_sewer\">sewerage<\/a> systems. Alternatively it is disposed of in nappies (<a title=\"Diaper\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Diaper\">diapers<\/a>) in <a title=\"Municipal solid waste\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Municipal_solid_waste\">municipal solid waste<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Human waste can be a serious health hazard, as it is a good <a title=\"Vector (epidemiology)\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Vector_(epidemiology)\">vector<\/a> for both <a title=\"Virus disease\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Virus_disease\">viral<\/a> and <a title=\"Pathogenic bacteria\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Pathogenic_bacteria\">bacterial<\/a> diseases. A major accomplishment of human civilization has been the reduction of disease transmission via human waste through the practice of <a title=\"Hygiene\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Hygiene\">hygiene<\/a> and <a title=\"Sanitation\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Sanitation\">sanitation<\/a>, including the development of sewage systems and <a title=\"Plumbing\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Plumbing\">plumbing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Human waste can be reduced or reused through use of waterless <a title=\"Urinal (restroom)\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Urinal_(restroom)\">urinals<\/a> and <a title=\"Composting toilet\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Composting_toilet\">composting toilets<\/a> and <a title=\"Greywater\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Greywater\">greywater<\/a>. The most common method of <a title=\"Waste treatment\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Waste_treatment\">waste treatment<\/a> in rural areas where municipal sewage systems are unavailable is the use of <a title=\"Septic tank\" href=\"http:\/\/allproplumbing.us\/wiki\/Septic_tank\">septic tank<\/a> systems.
