Sand filter units suitable for small footprint lotProblem: A fuel transfer station in Scott City, Kansas, needed a new septic system after the drainfield failed. The leachfield was saturated and not performing due to the heavy daily use, and excessive traffic had compacted the septic field. This is a fuel terminal site, and underground utilities were of great concern. Poor receiving soils and limited areas for a new system dictated the need for a treatment solution that would provide high-quality effluent in a small footprint. A conventional stone-and-pipe replacement system would not fit in the area.
