Design of Soak Pit for 50 Users

1.Assuming absorption capacity of soil as 1250 Lit/Cum/Day
2.Volume of soak pit required = Quantity of effluent coming to s

1.Assuming depth of soak pit = 1.80 m, having circular size

2.Area of soak pit = Volume/Depth = 4.32/1.80 = 2.40 Sqm
3.Diameter of soak pit = 3.142/4 X d X d = 2.40

4.Designed size of Soak pit = Diameter and Depth

diameter = 1.75 m
depth = 1.80
Design of Septic Tank for 50 Users
1.Population = 50
2.Assuming LPCD = 135
3.Assuming period of cleaning = 2 Years
4.Qty of water used = 50X135 = 6750 Liters
5.Qty coming to the septic tank = 80/100 X 6750 = 5400 Liters =
6.Space required for retention of sewage = 5.40 Cum
7.Space required for digestion of sludge = No of users X rate of d
8.Space required for storage of digested sludge = No of users X S

9. Total space required for septic tank = 5.40 + 1.75 + 3.54 = 10.69 C
10. Area of septic tank assuming depth of liquid as 1.20 m = Total vol

11. Size of septic tank considering L/B ratio as 1.5 to 3 = 2

12. Total depth of septic tank = Depth of liquid + Free board = 1.20 +
13. Designed size of Septic tank = L X B X D = 4.20 X 2.10 X 1.50 m
