Serial Distribution

 

A serial distribution system utilizes a series of absorption trenches in succession. The pretreated effluent is usually gravity-fed. However, some serial distribution systems may require a pump to move the effluent from trench to trench thus maximizing the infiltrative capacity of each trench before effluent flows from one trench to the next.
