What suitable size and type of septic tank
What suitable size and type of septic tank
(OP)
To whom that may be able to give me a guide,
If I have 25 cubic metres per day of wastewater from toilet, what size of septic tank do I need?
Also, I would like to know what kind of septic tank you suggest, to deal with wastewater from kitchen whose characteristics is mainly consisted of grease and oil.
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

RE: What suitable size and type of septic tank
As for kitchen waste lines, run them to a grease/soap trap seperate from the septic tank. All that soap and grease can kill the bacteria in a septic tank and will clog it up. Again sizing depends on flow and on how often you are willing to clean it out. Which is such a fun job. ;)
RE: What suitable size and type of septic tank
Next, your flow seems borderline high for a septic tank system. (In Florida, septic systems are under 5000 gpd or 2000 gpd for a restaurant) Please consider a small package extended aeration plant or a lagoon system or an alternative to a standard septic tank.
Here are three links of interest - (with the best link being the last one)
