Solution to death of manual scavengers in septic tank system due to Asphyxiation
In India, people
those who rely on septic tank system are facing so many problems. It is necessary
to avoid abnormality in septic tank and more importantly the death of manual
scavengers due to toxic gas such as hydrogen
sulfide exposure (asphyxiation) which is a
byproduct of anaerobic bacteria present inside the septic tank. If the tank is
not pumped out at a regular interval then anaerobic bacteria can pass from
septic tank to drain field through fluid and cause septic tank failure.
Our unique solution can able to overcome the above problems by fixing the toxic
gas sensor inside the septic tank system which will collects data at
regular intervals and compares its value to the permissible
exposure limit (PEL) - value to say as toxic. 10 ppm is
the PEL (8 hour time-weighted average). 10–20 ppm
is the borderline concentration for eye irritation
(credit: Wikipedia). If the toxic gases are
going beyond permissible exposure limit (PEL) then, the controller will send
notification to the user/concerned officials of public work department to clean
the septic tank system. By doing this it is possible to prevent septic tank
problems and also it is possible to avoid clogged drain field and in worse
condition even back-ups. Once the values of
toxic gases are nearer to the permissible exposure limit, our system will
automatically add salt and bleaching powder mixture into the septic tank system
by rotating the servo motor connected to the valve. So our system will not only give the
notification to the user/public work department, it will also try to decrease
the density of toxic gases inside the septic tank.
