Diaphragm pump

A diaphragm pump (also known as a Membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve, butterfly valves, flap valves, or any other form of shut-off valves) to pump a fluid.

See Vacuum truck and Diaphragm pump

Fecal sludge management (FSM) (or faecal sludge management in British English) is the storage, collection, transport, treatment and safe end use or disposal of fecal sludge. Vacuum truck and fecal sludge management are sanitation.

See Vacuum truck and Fecal sludge management

Friction loss

In fluid dynamics, friction loss (or frictional loss) is the head loss that occurs in a containment such as a pipe or duct due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the containment.

See Vacuum truck and Friction loss

Gong farmer

Gong farmer (also gongfermor, gongfermour, gong-fayer, gong-fower or gong scourer) was a term that entered use in Tudor England to describe someone who dug out and removed human excrement from privies and cesspits.

See Vacuum truck and Gong farmer

Gully emptier

A gully emptier (colloquially: "gully sucker") is a type of specialized tank truck with suction gear which can suck wastewater and mud and sludge out of hollows such as the hollows below drain grids in street gutters and carry it to a suitable disposal point. Vacuum truck and gully emptier are waste collection vehicles.

See Vacuum truck and Gully emptier

Hard suction hose

Flexible suction hose (Flex suction or suction hose), not to be confused with hard suction hose in U.S., is a specific type of fire hose used in drafting operations, when a fire engine uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or other static water source.

See Vacuum truck and Hard suction hose

Honeywagon (vehicle)

A honeywagon or honeycart is the slang term for a "vacuum truck" for collecting and carrying human excreta. Vacuum truck and honeywagon (vehicle) are waste collection vehicles.

See Vacuum truck and Honeywagon (vehicle)

Human waste

Human waste (or human excreta) refers to the waste products of the human digestive system, menses, and human metabolism including urine and feces. Vacuum truck and human waste are sanitation.

See Vacuum truck and Human waste

Latrine

A latrine is a toilet or an even simpler facility that is used as a toilet within a sanitation system. Vacuum truck and latrine are sanitation.

See Vacuum truck and Latrine

Liquid-ring pump

A liquid-ring pump is a rotating positive-displacement gas pump, with liquid under centrifugal force acting as a seal.

See Vacuum truck and Liquid-ring pump

Manual scavenging

Manual scavenging is a term used mainly in India for "manually cleaning, carrying, disposing of, or otherwise handling, human excreta in an insanitary latrine or in an open drain or sewer or in a septic tank or a pit".

See Vacuum truck and Manual scavenging

Manure

Manure is organic matter that is used as organic fertilizer in agriculture.

See Vacuum truck and Manure

Oil well

An oil well is a drillhole boring in Earth that is designed to bring petroleum oil hydrocarbons to the surface.

See Vacuum truck and Oil well

Onsite sewage facility

Onsite sewage facilities (OSSF), also called septic systems, are wastewater systems designed to treat and dispose of effluent on the same property that produces the wastewater, in areas not served by public sewage infrastructure. Vacuum truck and Onsite sewage facility are Sewerage infrastructure.

See Vacuum truck and Onsite sewage facility

Open defecation

Open defecation is the human practice of defecating outside ("in the open") rather than into a toilet. Vacuum truck and open defecation are sanitation.

See Vacuum truck and Open defecation
