| | Sewage |
 | | The air discharged from the surface of the liquid in the aeration chamber is vented to the atmosphere through a vent line connection. | | | This system breaks up the sewage and disinfects it with chemicals, then discharges the treated sewage overboard. | | | When new sewage flows into the aeration chamber, an equal volume flows through the clarification chamber. |
