Septic Tank Sludge Dissolver

Sludge in a septic tank consists of the solid remnants of wastewater, such as feces, food scraps, and other organic matter that are not fully broken down. It settles at the bottom of the tank and gradually forms a thicker layer. This sludge helps separate solid waste from the wastewater, which is a positive function. However, sludge can also cause several problems.

What problems can sludge cause?

  • Reduced storage capacity: When the sludge layer at the bottom of the tank becomes too thick, there is little space left for wastewater.
  • Clogged drainage: Sludge can enter the outlet pipe or infiltration system, leading to blockages or saturation.
  • Odor nuisance: A thick sludge layer increases the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which causes a typical sewer smell.
  • Poor tank performance: The natural decomposition process is disrupted, resulting in insufficient pretreatment of wastewater before it is discharged into the ground.
