Primary, Secondary and Tertiary are three stages or options of waster water filtration and septic treatment depending on environment and individual requirements.
Primary systems relys on a retention anerobic treatment tank with a basic screen filter system before waste water is dispersed into the environment via LPED dripper lines and is generally suitable for a non-sensitive 
receiving environment with good soil structure
Secondary systems have an increased level of treatment within the system itself prior to distribution to the disposal field. There are two common types- aerated systems and packed bed reactors. A secondary system is suited to a more sensitive receiving environment and/or sub-standard soil structure
Tertiary systems carry the same treatment process as a secondary system with an additional filtration or "polishing" process often in the form of UV treatment. This process will further remove the remaining organic matter and bacteria. You would require a tertiary system in very sensative receiving environments.
It is important to consider what is right for your environment as there is always the “newest thing” out there but newest isn’t always best.
