Development and Analysis of Equalization Basins
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 6
Abstract
Adequate control of wastewater treatment processes with variable input parameters can be achieved through the employment of equalization basins. Variability of input and output parameters are analyzed, and mathematical models of conventional and new configurations of equalization basins describing the propagation of regular and random input signals are presented. Comparison of various designs of equalization basins show that new configurations of equalization basins are more efficient than one‐channel tanks (complete mix, m‐tanks in series, or diffused flow). A substantial advantage of new basin types is in that they can be tuned to the particular spectrum of incoming fluctuations.
