Aeration tank
Definition
A large basin, reservoir, or industrial technical installation used in wastewater treatment plants for their aerobic biological treatment. Its structural operation relies on the continuous and forced insufflation of air (oxygenation) into the liquid mass, a process that stimulates the growth of microorganisms in the active sludge which decompose polluting organic substances.
