Septic Tank Design and Specifications

This document provides design specifications for a septic tank followed by an anaerobic filter. It includes calculations for determining the number of users, flow rate, tank volume, dimensions, and design of the biological filter. The septic tank is designed to be 14.24 meters long and 3.93 meters wide to treat wastewater from 205 users totaling 518.52 liters per minute of flow. The anaerobic filter is sized at 15.41 square meters in area and 1.20 meters deep to further treat the effluent from the septic tank before discharge.
