Thumps rules You need to calculate size of septic tank by using some formulas, C = A + P (rq +ns)
Where, C is capacity of septic tank, A constant, P = number of users, r = minimum retention time, q =
average sewage flow in liters per person per day, n = number of years sludge will store and S = rate
of sludge accumulation in liter per person per year. In British code, A = 2000litres, rq + ns = 180litres,
so rounding formula, we will get C = 2000 liters + 2250(3x142+2x30)
Suppose we have to find with capacity of septic tank size for 100 users, put this value C = 2000 liters + 2250(3x142+2x30)
