AI-UNO is always wish to NGOs enhance, work smartly in community. It’s true that not all NGOs have fully embraced technology and innovation in their projects and operations. While some NGOs have been at the forefront of using technology to enhance their work, there are various reasons why many NGOs may still lag behind in this aspect. Here are a few key factors to consider: Register as Donor from your country write a Subject: “Donations” send your request on info@aiuno.org

In a septic tank, the sludge undergoes a natural decomposition process. A septic tank is part of a household wastewater treatment system and plays a crucial role in separating and treating solid waste from the liquid wastewater that enters it. Here’s what happens to sludge in a septic tank:

1. Collection: Wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and other household plumbing fixtures flows into the septic tank. The tank is typically buried underground and designed to hold a specific volume of wastewater.
2. Separation: Inside the septic tank, the wastewater goes through a separation process. The heavier solid particles, known as sludge, settle to the bottom of the tank. This sludge is composed of organic and inorganic materials, including human waste, toilet paper, and other solids that enter the tank.
3. Digestion: Anaerobic bacteria, which thrive in the oxygen-deprived environment of the septic tank, start breaking down the organic matter in the sludge. This biological digestion process converts some of the waste into gases (like methane and carbon dioxide) and liquids.
4. Accumulation: Over time, the sludge layer at the bottom of the tank continues to accumulate as more wastewater enters the tank and solid materials settle. This accumulation of sludge is one of the reasons why septic tanks require periodic pumping to remove the excess sludge and scum.
5. Pumping and Maintenance: To prevent the septic tank from becoming overloaded with sludge and scum, it is essential to have regular maintenance and pumping. A professional septic tank service company will periodically pump out the accumulated sludge and scum to ensure that the tank operates efficiently.
6. Liquid Effluent Discharge: The liquid effluent, which is now relatively free of solids and pollutants, exits the septic tank through an outlet pipe. It then flows into the drain field or leach field, which is a network of perforated pipes buried in gravel trenches. In the drain field, the effluent undergoes further treatment as it percolates through the soil.
7. Soil Filtration: The soil in the drain field acts as a natural filter, removing remaining impurities and harmful pathogens from the effluent. This treated wastewater eventually re-enters the groundwater, completing the cycle of purification.

Proper maintenance and regular septic tank pumping are crucial to prevent system failure and environmental contamination. Neglecting these maintenance tasks can lead to clogs, backups, and pollution of groundwater, which can have adverse effects on both human health and the environment.
