There are quite a few documents (if you search in Google) dealing with "flujo de pistón" in the context of "aguas residuales" (the bottom link is one of them), so you might want to look at some of them and see if they are similar to your overall context. (There are only a few using the other term.)

Hope it helps.

I picked this one because the references talks of "effluent", so apparently it is used in a context of wastewater treatment. Thanks.
