現代污水處理系統組件，用以廢水通過粗篩後的一連串貯水槽之後，移除大型物件。沉砂池沉澱排除沙粒與煤渣；初級沉澱池移除大型有機固態物；而曝氣池則將進入的污水與經活性化、富含細菌的爛泥及微小氣泡混合，使有機物質迅速氧化；最後沉澱池去除混合物中殘餘的懸浮固態物。

沉澱池

英文....

Components of modern sewage-treatment systems where waste water is passed through a series of tanks following coarse screening to remove large objects. Grit chambers settle out sand and cinders; primary settling tanks remove heavy organic solids; and aeration tanks mix the incoming sewage with activated, bacteria-rich sludge and fine air bubbles, causing the rapid oxidation of organic matter. Final settling tanks remove the remaining suspended solids from the mixture.
