Septic Tank Design

This document contains calculations and specifications for sizing a septic tank and percolation trenches. It provides details on the number of users, water usage, peak discharge rate, sludge removal frequency, temperature, tank dimensions, volumes for sedimentation, sludge storage, and freeboard. The recommended septic tank size based on these calculations is 5 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.5 meters deep. Information on the required soil area for percolation trenches is also included but notes some values cannot be calculated.
