A ReCip was installed at the Huntsville, Alabama Botanical
Garden to treat the waste from their volunteer building.
The volunteer building was located on the property too
far from the city sewer and on hard clay soils. A septic
tank was servicing the forty or so volunteers using the
facility each day. Each week, the septic tank was pumped.
The ReCip used two small 5' X 10' septic tanks for
the two cells and 1/12 horsepower pumps to move the
effluent between the cells. The small ReCip has the
capability of treating up to 800 gallons per day. The
ReCip cells were connected to the existing septic tank
and effluent disposal lines were installed.
The Research site contains a research paper on the
Botanical Garden system written by Dr. Leonard from
the University of Alabama.
The two 5'X10' open top septic tanks are used as
the two ReCip cells. The cells are filled with aggregate
and the reciprocating water stays at least 6 inches
from the top (no visible water). Plants can used to
improve the asthetics.
