What places would require a septic semi trailer to empty them out?

The entire city of Dubai. Every morning hundreds of semis pulling poop out of the city, dumping it in the desert. Dubai never planned a septic/sewage system.

In many areas gravity flow isn't enough for sewage systems so you need lift stations. I live at the coast so it is extremely flat. Lift stations are all over the place. If the pumps break the station needs to be cleaned out before the pumps can be replaced. Small trucks take forever. If you can get a large truck in, then all the better.

I did a job once that was 4 10,000 tanks for an RV park, woulda been easy with a semi septic trailer but we were stuck with 2 standard septic trucks, it took me and my coworker several trips to the sewage treatment plant over 2 days.

Multiple buildings in Dubai have a 24/7 non stop line of these trucks coming and going because they don’t have a proper sewage/drain system there.

Any place generating waste water of any kind. Some would go to a sewage plant, some to injection wells to be reintroduced to the ground, some would haul water into places requiring makeup water and things like that. This is a vac truck, so it can suck and blow. Like Mega-Maid.

It sucks and blows? Sounds eerily like my ex wife.

Sreage plant is where I have seen them. Never been close enough to inquire about the loafs though.

Used extensively in the oilfield. Salt water, mud and other stuff

That would've actually been really nice to have when I was pumping septic tanks and grease traps. The biggest septic tank I've ever seen was 30,000 gallons.

Pick any political office. I can think of one in Alberta ( in power now).

sometimes these guys will just haul sludge away from factories too. any facility that processes food will have an on-site wastewater treatment plant to settle solids out of water before sending on to municipal sewage or just to discharge to a natural source. all those solids that settle out of the water will get sucked out of holding tanks by these guys and hauled off to specialized landfills

Food grade sludge. I did that job for 3 months. It sucked. Better have a strong stomach.

Oil change pits, the water and chemicals they clean with get stored in a holding tank than sucked out and treated

Yep. We had a sewer flood over into our oil pit once and had to have one of these big boys come by to pump it out, they had to make 2 trips. The worst part was they had to haul it all over to another state because it was considered hazardous materials at that point, black water mixed with used oil. The cleanup cost around $6k, which was a hell of a deal as far as I was concerned.

No-Hold4422@reddit
if they are doing construction on a sewer system... and need a tanker like that
but often times the sanitary Sankers have routes where they stop st multiple locations

We have a bunch of farms in our area running liquid manure system. Between that being spread and spreading the chicken poo on the fields, there is a week or three when EVERYTHING stinks.
FruitOrchards@reddit
Farms,l arge construction projects not hooked up to the sewer system for whatever reason, festivals etc.

Every truck stop has contained runoff collection. All that spilt fuel and Def has to be hauled off. Tons of stuff in the oilfield. Some outfits fill swimming pools with them when things are slow.
OsBaculum@reddit
I saw a pic of one that said "Septic tanks pumped - Swimming pools filled. ^not same truck^"
