Septage is the partially treated sludge stored in a septic tank. The term septage is widely used in USA and in Asia, e.g. India. Septage generally consists of all the household wastewater that is disposed of through a home's plumbing system that neither drain out into the soil nor are converted to gases by the bacteria in the septic tank. Septage is pumped out of a septic tank or onsite sewage facility with a vacuum truck. The septic tanks can be residential or non-residential. Non-residential sources can include wastewater from commercial/industrial development, grease interceptor as well as other sources such as portable toilet, RV, and boat waste.
