A wastewater disposal system in which wastewater is transported to an elevated site on a hill, distributed along a predetermined width of the hillside and allowed to flow down the hillside under the influence of gravity. The rate of distribution of wastewater is controlled so that it does not completely penetrate the hill and does not accumulate to any significant degree at the hill bottom. Beneficial uses of the wastewater are disclosed, as is treatment of the wastewater, both biological and phyto treatment.

Wastewater disposal system

A method and apparatus for treating sanitary wastewater using membrane filtration are disclosed. Designed principally for complete on-site sewage treatment and disposal, the system separates wastewater into liquid and concentrated solid components by membrane separation; then dries, disinfects, and deodorizes the solid component by a variety of methods to render it reusable or more easily stored and disposed. The liquid component is discharged or reused as is, or is further treated to render it disposable or reusable for particular applications. Alternatives for treating the solids component include mixing with alkaline admixtures and composting with other cellulose-based wastes. Alternatives for treating the liquid component include deodorization and biological stabilization by ultraviolet radiation and ozonation. Preferred and particularly advantageous embodiments of a membrane filtration system, a liquid treatment subsystem, a solids treatment subsystem, and a flushing subsystem are described.
