Abstract:
1. Apparatus for processing wastewater from a source, comprising: a wastewater pipeline, for conveying wastewater from the source to a primary unit; a primary unit, for receiving and primarily treating the wastewater, to thereby produce and discharge primarily treated wastewater; a leach field, located downstream of the primary unit, for receiving and secondarily treating wastewater discharged from the primary unit, comprised of a distribution pipeline, for carrying wastewater from the primary unit to the leach field; and, means for producing a gas pressure differential between the conduit and said influence zone, said means sufficient to create biochemically significant gas flow within the influence zone; wherein, wastewater flows from the primary unit, through said conduit, and into the influence zone; and said gas pressure differential causes air to flow through said soil, to or from said soil surface.
