Aerobic systems are used to treat waste water in places where the houses are situated wide apart and where there is no central sewage system. Though very few Cochin apartments (http://www.jairajbuilders.com/) use these systems, they are widely used in villas and in rural areas. There are numerous designs in which the aerobic units are available. Depending on the design various factors in the unit vary.
One such factor that varies from design to design is the way and the rate in which waste water is received by and flows through the aerobic unit. In continuous flow designs the wastewater flows through the unit at the same rate that it leaves the home. In some other designs the incoming flow is controlled using devices such as pretreatment tanks, surge chambers and baffles. Designs with batch process use pumps or siphons to control the amount of waste water in the aeration tank and also to discharge the treated waste water in controlled amounts after particular period of time.
Flushing too much of waste water into the system at the same time can over burden the system and affect the quality of system. The disadvantages of these systems are that the components need maintenance and run the risk of malfunctioning like all other mechanical flow control devices.
By conserving water the performance of the system can be improved. Homeowners should use washing machines and dishwashers only when full and leaking taps and running toilets should be repaired. Water use can be reduced to 50% by installing water saving devices in toilets, taps and showers. All the heavy water use activities should be spaced out to avoid overloading of the systems.
