German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / waste water treatment
German term or phrase: TK Schacht
I have a diagram of a biological waste water treatment plant, and am having problems with some of the labels. The "TK Schacht" runs down from just after the pre-treatment basin directly into the "Eindicker", which I think (according to Ernst) is the thickener.

Any ideas?

Now that would make a lot of sense! One of the other terms is "Tropkörperanlage", so it would make sense if this were a "dripper shaft". Sometimes you just can't see the wood for the trees!!!
