RV waste disposal into septic tank
RV waste disposal into septic tank
(OP)
Hello,
I am designing an onsite septic treatment system in a remote area. Part of the project site will be home to several recreational vehicles (RVs). The problem I am facing is the RV waste that would enter into the septic tanks. I've read that the chemicals used to deodorize the waste tanks in RVs are detrimental to the successful treatment. Has anyone come across this or successfully designed a system that specifically handled RV wastes? Is there any literature or links that you could point me in?
I appreciate any feedback you may have.
Thanks

All these questions and many more must be considered in order to get focus on the design constraints.

Toxicity levels in RV waste weren't high enough to prevent biological treatment. I think the septic systems were failing because they weren't designed for the high strength waste that RV's produce.
I would use BOD of 5000 mg/L and and ammonia concentration of 700 mg/L, or around 25 times the strength of typical domestic wastewater for design.
