RV waste disposal into septic tank

Hello,


I am designing an onsite septic treatment system in a remote area. Part of the project site will be home to several recreational vehicles (RVs). The problem I am facing is the RV waste that would enter into the septic tanks. I've read that the chemicals used to deodorize the waste tanks in RVs are detrimental to the successful treatment. Has anyone come across this or successfully designed a system that specifically handled RV wastes? Is there any literature or links that you could point me in?

I appreciate any feedback you may have.

Thanks

Rest areas on interstate highways with sanitary disposal stations are commonly either sewage lagoons or septic systems.  The restrooms are included in the loading. See your DOT for details. 字串4

What type of treatment system are you designing and what is the design organic loading and hydraulic of that system?  Will these be transient RV's or more or less permanent?  Do you have discharge requirements to meet?  Are you in a cold climate or a warm one? High elevation or sea level?  What other facilities/sources will be served by the treatment system? What type of discharge are you proposing, soil, surface water, land application? Is the client well funded or under-funded?  Is it a "high class" rv park or is it cheap housing?  

All these questions and many more must be considered in order to get focus on the design constraints.
