German term or phrase: Hauptstoffe

This is from a contract for the construction of a leachate (seepage water) treatment facility. I'd appreciate ideas on what "Hauptstoffe" might be. There are also Ein- und Ausgangsstoffe.

- Durchsicht der vom Auftraggeber zur Verfügung gestellten Grundlagendaten
- Ermittlung eines wirtschaftlichen Membranbiologiekonzepts mit Ermittlung der wesentlichen Baugrößen der Hauptkomponenten (Bioreaktoren, Membranfläche)
- Darstellung des Verfahrens als einfacher Lageplan und Blockfließbild
- Abstimmung der Vor- und Nachteile des Konzepts am jeweiligen Standort
- Planung des relevanten Verfahrens auf Grundlage der Normen „Fließbilder verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen“
- Erstellen eines Grundfließbildes mit folgenden Informationen:
- Benennung der Rechtecke
- Benennung der Ein- und Ausgangsstoffe
- Fließweg und Fließrichtung der Hauptstoffe
- Durchflüsse bzw. Mengen der Ein- und Ausgangsstoffe sowie der Hauptstoffe
- Benennung von Energien bzw. Energieträgern

On second thought, Hauptstoffe could be \"first flush\" possibly.

Components

Explanation:
Components - These sound like components, where as Ein / Ausgangsstoffe could be raw material and produce. I have no direct reference for this usage other than what I had read in chemistry.

main components

Explanation:
...like aerating oxygene, active coal, flotation materials (I'm just brainstorming/jamming)

And it's not waste plant, must be some sort of a purification facility, if I understand the context correctly.
