English term or phrase: catch-pits
Another major influencing factor on the efficiency of separator systems is sediment. Oil/water separators are usually designed as liquid/liquid separators unless the specification has determined a requirement to store a volume of sediment. This can be accommodated within a combined liquid/sediment separator where the storage volume is increased accordingly. However, if the design of the drainage system can allow the sediment to be separated and stored upstream of the oil/water separator, in catch-pits or sediment separators, the system would function more efficiently. Again, settled sediment must be removed regularly to ensure optimum effiency (ref. Environment Agency).

Further, the drainage systems in Spain are themselves a cause of major problems just by design alone. Buried beneath most properties are buried chambers, referred to as arkettes, that are CATCH-PITS allowing fluids to pool and stagnate. Quite often these chambers are a direct source of rising damp within properties and allow fluids to escape into the subsoil. They are also a major cause of blockages in new and existing properties due to the amount of silt and debris that builds up within them and the adjoining pipes.


Hay más, el sistema de desagüe en España son ellos mismos un gran problema solo con su diseño. Enterrados debajo de la mayoría de las viviendas están enterrados en cámaras, lo que se conoce como ARQUETAS, permitiendo fluidos estancados y mal olientes. Bastante a menudo estas cámaras son una fuente directa para alcanzar humedad dentro de las viviendas y permitiendo que los fluidos escapen al subsuelo. Son grandes causas de bloqueos en nuevas y existentes propiedades debido a la cantidad de cieno y escombros que se acumulan dentro de ellas y de las tuberías.

Arqueta
Una arqueta es un pequeño depósito utilizado para recibir, enlazar y distribuir canalizaciones subterráneas; suelen estar enterradas y tienen una tapa superior para evitar accidentes y poder limpiar su interior de impurezas.
Se utilizan en redes de saneamiento, de agua potable y de regadío, pudiendo albergar las llaves de corte de redes enterradas. También se utilizan en redes de distribución de electricidad y otros servicios cableados, como los de telecomunicaciones.
Se construyen de ladrillo, revocadas y fratasadas con mortero de cemento interiormente; también pueden ser de hormigón, o prefabricadas en materiales plásticos.
Tipos de arquetas
Las "arquetas de paso" se utilizan para conectar dos conductos y en los casos cuyos ejes forman un ángulo para los que no existen piezas curvadas normalizadas. Pueden ser registrables.
Las "arquetas sifónicas" se colocan antes de las conexiones con la red general, para evitar malos olores en la red privada. Son registrables.
Las "arquetas separadoras de grasas" se sitúan antes de la conexión con la red general, para evitar verter productos grasos. Son registrables para limpiar su interior periódicamente.
