    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    In the U.S., every plumbing fixture must also be coupled to the system's vent piping. [1] Without a vent, negative pressure can slow the flow of water leaving the system, resulting in clogs, or cause siphonage to empty a trap. The high point of the vent system (the top of its "soil stack") must be open to the exterior at atmospheric pressure.

  5. Rotating biological contactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_biological_contactor

    The RBC process allows the wastewater to come in contact with a biological film in order to remove pollutants in the wastewater before discharge of the treated wastewater to the environment, usually a body of water (river, lake or ocean). A rotating biological contactor is a type of secondary (biological) treatment process.

  6. Aerated lagoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerated_lagoon

    There are two main types of submerged diffused aeration systems for lagoon applications: floating lateral and submerged lateral. Both these systems utilize fine or medium bubble diffusers to provide aeration and mixing to the process water. The diffusers can be suspended slightly above the lagoon floor or may rest on the bottom.

  7. Maceration (sewage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(sewage)

    Maceration can be achieved by using a chopper pump in the sewage lift station or at the wastewater treatment plant. [ 1 ] When the flush is triggered, wastewater flows into the macerator, and when the water level rises, pressure activates the unit, causing the stainless steel blades to rotate at 3,600 rpm, pulverizing the wastewater into fine ...
