John,
If you were to burn off ALL the formaldehyde, it would not be a problem. But formaldehydfe is a very powerful biocide which is why Thetford and Monogram and Veltest all chose to use it. If you have used the recommended dose in your waste tank and run that tank as far down as Theramsan will pull it, you will still have enough formaldehyde in the dumped contents to interfere with the anerobic activity of a 3000 gallon system.

As long as it is not your sewer system and you don't have to replace the drain field, I guess you don't need to worry. If you can dump it into a municipal system, (most of these are arobic) it will be diluted to the level that it can be managed.

Matt
