Drip Dispersal Distribution
The drip dispersal system that is on display was designed for a
wastewater loading rate that is typical for a three bedroom home. The
drip tubing is suspended and the tank and manifold is elevated above ground
to allow trainees to view all the components of a properly installed system.
During training sessions potable water, which simulates wastewater, is
pumped through the system.
