Septic Systems

Population equivalent (PE) or unit per capita loading, or equivalent person (EP), is a parameter for characterizing industrial wastewaters. It essentially compares the polluting potential of an industry (in terms of biodegradable organic matter) with a population (or certain number of people), which would produce the same polluting load.? In other words, it is the number expressing the ratio of the sum of the pollution load produced during 24 hours by industrial facilities and services to the individual pollution load in household sewage produced by one person in the same time. This refers to the amount of oxygen-demanding substances in wastewater which will consume oxygen as it bio-degrades, usually as a result of bacterial activity.

Choosing between an individual septic tank with filter media and a mechanical septic tank with an air blower depends on efficiency, cost, and maintenance. This article breaks down their key differences to help you select the right wastewater treatment solution.

Unlike traditional septic systems, mechanical septic tanks use air blowers to accelerate wastewater treatment. This article explores how air blowers enhance aeration, promote bacterial breakdown, and ensure a more effective sewage treatment system in Malaysia.
