Overview of the Rostock septic tank: design, specifications and operational details

Civilization spoiled a person. He does not want to lose the opportunity to live with all its blessings, even leaving for long distances from large cities, not to mention the suburban area or small towns. Happy owners of cottages or country houses safely equip them with autonomous sewage systems. Some use home-made devices, while others prefer practical and effective industrial options, such as the Rostock septic tank, which professionally copes with the problem of effluents.

The principle of operation and features of the device

Rostock is a classic two-chamber septic tank, consisting of a primary cleaning compartment and a filtration compartment. The effluents entering the first chamber are divided into heavier fractions that settle to the bottom, and light, gradually rising up. A feature of the device is the presence in this section of a special absorber of the incoming stream, which does not allow the settled sediment to rise to the upper part of the chamber.

Septic tank consists of two chambers: primary cleaning and filtering

Primarily treated effluents enter the next filtration compartment, in which there are two filters: screen and sorption. In this embodiment, the septic tank the sorption site is a layer of zeolite, 200 mm thick, which must be reactivated annually by washing with a solution of sodium chloride. Water purified from 70-80% comes out of the second compartment. Further, it is recommended to apply them to soil post-treatment or to biofilters. Insoluble sludge is pumped out of the plant approximately once a year.

The range of septic tanks includes three systems that differ in capacity and performance. The smallest option is the Mini, with a volume of 1,000 liters and a capacity of 250 liters per day. Such a device will be quite enough for a family of 1-2 people. More productive - "Country", with a volume of 1,500 liters. It can provide the needs of 2-3 people. And the most powerful sprout "Cottage", holds 3,000 liters of effluent, this volume is suitable for a family of 5-6 people.

The largest septic tank model is “Cottage”, designed for a family of 5-6 people

Why choose this particular system?

When designing a septic tank, technologies were used that for many years have been successfully working at large treatment plants. Thanks to this approach, the installation has become even more reliable, economical and durable. It is distinguished by:

Thought-out optimal device design. The capacity of the septic tank is solid, which provides it with 100% tightness and the absence of welds, potential leak sources. The installation is made in the form of a cylinder, this configuration is the least exposed to the danger of surfacing under the possible influence of groundwater.
Special design of internal overflows, which makes it possible to retain oils, fats and suspended solids.
Device non-volatility.
Construction safety and reliability. They are confirmed by the results of examinations that recognized the installation's compliance with all SanPIN requirements for water purification and for the environmental safety of the septic tank itself.
High degree of purification. When using bioenzymatic additives, water at the outlet of the installation is purified by 80%. If a post-treatment system developed by EcoProm SPb is used, the output is 90-95% purified water.
Original design featuresoptimizing system performance. Among them, built-in protection against volley discharge up to 200 liters. Inlet damper that prevents sediment from rising from the bottom of the tank. An emergency overflow designed for the smooth operation of the device and a thin-walled high-tech module that prevents large particles from entering the filter chamber.
Convenience and ease of maintenance. The installation provides easy access to all special technological holes.

Everyone who is going to install a cottage septic tank sprout or any other modification needs to understand that the device carries out only initial wastewater treatment. Even though it is high enough, an additional cleaning system must be provided. It can be either a well or a filtration field, or a special biofilter.

EcoProm engineers who developed the septic tank also offer a post-treatment system. According to customer reviews, wastewater treatment plants mounted in this way work well, without causing problems and complaints. Another important advantage of these septic tanks is the possibility of installation and subsequent warranty service by specialists of the manufacturer. This provides a quick solution to all emerging issues.

Often people who choose a septic tank have doubts about the unusual design of the device. This is especially true of the filter load in the second chamber, which, as it seems to them, should constantly clog, and it is not possible to remove it for cleaning. In fact, this is not a mechanical filter, but a sorption one.

The thickness of the sorbent layer is only 200 mm, the fraction filling it has a size of 30-40 mm, so it does not threaten clogging. Especially considering the location of the filter - before leaving the septic tank, after a thin-layer block that retains mechanical impurities.

Wastewater leaving the septic tank requires mandatory treatment

The feedback of those who use the device suggests that you should not be afraid of the innovations implemented in this model. They make the system more efficient and secure. A septic tank sprout, correctly installed and undergoing regular maintenance, allows you to forget about problems with wastewater.
