   en.wikipedia.org/.../File:Sewage_Treatment_Model.pdf

   English: This diagram depicts the process and benefits of sewage treatment. Sewage treatment helps to protect the environment and all organisms as this process aims to remove contaminants such as bacteria, nutrients, pathogens and any other chemicals that may contaminate surface waters.

3. Simplified sewerage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_sewerage

   Simplified sewerage, also called small-bore sewerage, is a sewer system that collects all household wastewater (blackwater and greywater) in small-diameter pipes laid at fairly flat gradients. Simplified sewers are laid in the front yard or under the pavement (sidewalk) or - if feasible - inside the back yard, rather than in the centre of the ...

4. Sanitary sewer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer

   A sanitary sewer is an underground pipe or tunnel system for transporting sewage from houses and commercial buildings (but not stormwater) to a sewage treatment plant or disposal. Sanitary sewers are a type of gravity sewer and are part of an overall system called a "sewage system" or sewerage .

5. Pumping station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

   In the case of high sewage flows into the well (for example during peak flow periods and wet weather) additional pumps will be used. If this is insufficient, or in the case of failure of the pumping station, a backup in the sewer system can occur, leading to a sanitary sewer overflow—the discharge of raw sewage into the environment.

6. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

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

   A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

7. Pressure sewer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_sewer

   A pressure sewer provides a method of discharging sewage from properties into a conventional gravity sewer or directly to a sewage treatment plant. Pressure sewers are typically used where properties are located below the level of the nearest gravity sewer or are located on difficult terrain.
