Septic drain fields are used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges from the septic tank. Description A septic tank generally consists of tanks between the size of 1000 and 2000 gallons (4000 - 7500 litres which is connected to an inlet wastewater pipe at one end and This is typically done by burying perforated pipes in trenches and allowing the liquid to leach out and the surrounding soil absorbs the unwanted waste. Another term for this is a leach field or french drain. Septic drain fields are used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges from the Septic tank. A French drain, drain tile, or land drain is a Ditch filled with Gravel or rock that Redirects surface and Ground

The design of the septic drain field is determined by the size of the dwelling that it serves and the soil conditions. The soil conditions would be tested by a method called a perc test. A percolation test (from Percolation, colloquially called a perc test) is a test to determine the absorption rate of Soil for a Septic drain An engineer or licensed designer may be required to work with the local governing agency to design a system that conforms to these criteria.

A septic tank, the septic drain field, and the associated piping comprise a complete septic system.

When a septic tank is used in combination with a biofilter the height and area of the drain field can be reduced. Biofiltration is a Pollution control technique using living material to capture and biologically degrade process pollutants This technology allows higher density residential construction, minimal site disturbance, offers more usable land for trees or swimming pools or gardens, and greatly reduces the chances of the drain field plugging up.
