Biologicals for cleaning the cesspool

The disadvantage of a private house is the lack of a centralized sewerage system. The owners have to build cesspools. While operating the pit, it becomes necessary to periodically clean it of its contents in order to avoid spilling and spreading fetid odors in the area.

For labor-intensive work, special biological products are produced. The use of sewage cleaning products makes work much easier.

The preparations contain bacteria, which, when they enter the habitat, begin to process solid masses. The end result is an odorless liquid with sediment - an environmentally friendly plant fertilizer. Biologics are produced in two types, depending on the bacteria - aerobic and anaerobic.

Anaerobic biologics

Anaerobic - microorganisms capable of receiving energy for their life without oxygen. This means that cleaning agents containing these bacteria are suitable for closed pit latrines.

Microorganisms feeding on sewage waste in a short time turn the masses into a solid mineral sediment, into a clarified liquid and fat, which forms a film on the surface. Organisms are not artificially bred, they are part of our nature. They exist in silt, swamps, soil at great depths without oxygen. They are safe for humans.

There are several rules that should not be violated when using anaerobic biologics.

• For the functioning of vital functions, anaerobic bacteria need a liquid medium. 2/3 of the container must be filled with liquid.
• Do not allow an increase in the amount of solid sediment of the critical mark (bacteria will die).

The cleansing process is divided into two stages.

The first stage is sour fermentation with a strong odor. A gray sludge is being formed. The release of gas bubbles can be observed. Gases fill the entire volume of the pit, displacing oxygen. An environment is created for anaerobic microorganisms.

In the second stage, the sewage masses undergo alkaline decomposition. Purification is odorless, the sludge becomes black. The use of biological products allows waste masses to decompose faster into solid sediment and liquid.

The advantages of cleaning with preparations containing anaerobes:

• Safe.
• Economical. Not much biomass required.
• Effective mineralization of organic matter.

Disadvantages.

• Strict adherence to the rules (temperature regime, pH indicators, regular removal of solid precipitation).
• The final sludge cannot be used to fertilize the soil.

Aerobic Biologicals

Microorganisms that need oxygen to live. Aerobes are actively involved in the circulation of substances, having special enzymes that ensure the decomposition of biomasses.

Aerobic bacteria cope better with cleaning, but forced ventilation (additional air access) is necessary for their reproduction. The purified waste mass is suitable for fertilizing and watering plants.

Microorganisms are killed if chemical detergents and antibiotics enter the waste container.

Perceptible dignity is a high degree of purification. The impurities dissolved in water, which remain after mechanical and anaerobic cleaning, are processed.

Disadvantages:

• Energy consuming investment. Additionally, build in an oxygen supply system.
• Do not allow chemicals to enter the wastewater.

Packaging release form

Bioactivators are available in liquid, powder and tablet form.

Liquid form - concentrate.Economical packaging, one liter is enough for two tons of waste. Organisms in solution are alive, they begin to act as soon as they enter the habitat.

Powdered type are more common with aerobic bacteria. Bacterial microorganisms are in a dormant state, come to life in a humid environment. Dilute with water before use. Has a long shelf life.

Pills... Convenient in application and dosage compliance in summer cottages. After cleaning in tablets, the contents of the cesspool turns into an odorless liquid, and the sediment with the remaining bacteria is used to fertilize the plants.

There are no definite criteria in which form to choose a remedy. The focus is on personal perception.
