bastante sobrecarregados


Explanation:
Achei um glossário abaixo (PT de Portugal), sobre o assunto, que pode ser útil. Fala em tanques de sedimentação (acho que pode ser de decantação também) e fala em tanques e clarificadores sobrecarregados.

Pesadamente ou excessivamente ou demasiadamente ou muito sobrecarregados


Explanation:
Como se vê, o "sobrecarregados" é praticamente unânime. A dúvida fica com o "heavily", que acho que tem várias possibilidades, dependendo do contexto, do estilo do tradutor e o que o autor quis dizer.

Bom trabalho
