Effluent is the general term for a liquid that leaves a technology, typically after blackwater or sludge has undergone solids separation or some other type of treatment. Effluent originates at either a collection and Storage or a (semi-) centralized treatment technology. Depending on the type of treatment, the effluent maybe completely sanitized or may require further treatment before it can be used or disposed of.
