    摘要: A baffle tank is disclosed which is designed to filter a fluid along with a method of forming the baffle tank. The baffle tank has a bottom wall joined to at least one sidewall to form an enclosure having a first chamber in fluid communication with a second chamber. The first chamber has a top wall with an enlarged opening formed therein. The first chamber also has an inlet for receiving incoming fluid. The second chamber has a top wall with an enlarged opening formed therein. The second chamber also has an outlet through which fluid can be discharged. A first baffle is formed by at least a portion of the sidewall of the first chamber. The first baffle is joined to at least a portion of the sidewall of the second chamber. The first baffle extends downward from the top walls of the first and second chambers and has a lower end positioned above the bottom wall. A second baffle is formed in the second chamber and extends upward from the bottom wall and has an upper end positioned below the top wall of the second chamber. The lower end of the first baffle is located closer to the bottom wall than is the upper end of the second baffle.

    摘要: A system and a method comprise an upstream chamber is configured to receive a variable input flow of a wastewater mixture having a maximum input flow rate. A downstream chamber is adjacent to the upstream chamber. An effluent baffle wall separates the downstream chamber from the upstream chamber. An effluent flow port is located in the effluent baffle wall. The effluent flow port comprises a first orifice configured to produce a first modulated flow of the wastewater mixture from the upstream chamber to the downstream chamber, and a second orifice being positioned above the first orifice. The second orifice is configured to produce a second modulated flow having a second flow rate, wherein a combined flow rate including the first and second flow rates is less than the maximum input flow rate.
