Q

The process of grinding, shredding, or reducing the size of sewage particles is known as __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine sanitation devices (MSDs) and what they do on vessels • The difference between storing sewage, treating sewage, and disinfecting sewage • Common wastewater treatment terms used for handling solids

💭 Think About

• Which term best describes a mechanical action that cuts, chops, or grinds solids into smaller pieces? • Which options sound more like storage or process descriptions (holding, volume changes, chemical treatment) rather than physical size reduction? • In shore-side or shipboard wastewater systems, what is the usual word for equipment that chops solids before further treatment or discharge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to a physical size-reduction process (not chemical, not storage time). • Eliminate choices that relate mainly to chemical disinfection or holding/retention of sewage. • Think about what a grinder pump or similar device does and which word is commonly associated with that function.
