Smoothing Inlet
A Smoothing Inlet is a crucial hydraulic component used in water and wastewater treatment facilities to regulate and stabilize the flow of incoming water into tanks, clarifiers, and other treatment structures. we engineer precision-built smoothing inlets to enhance system efficiency and extend equipment life.
Purpose of a Smoothing Inlet
Smoothing inlets help reduce turbulence and distribute flow evenly as water enters treatment units. This ensures:
- Balanced hydraulic loading
- Enhanced sedimentation performance
- Reduced wear on tank walls and internal components
- Consistent flow velocity and reduced short-circuiting
These benefits are especially critical in:
- Industrial process water
- Clarifiers and sedimentation basins
- Aeration tanks and lagoons
- Chlorination contact chambers
How it Works
The smoothing inlet is typically designed as a circular or slotted structure that diffuses high-velocity influent into a gentle, laminar flow. It prevents scouring and dead zones, promoting efficient particle settling or chemical reaction, depending on the treatment stage.
Materials and design options include:
- HDPE or FRP construction for corrosion resistance
- Perforated plates, diffuser tubes, or weir-style inlets
- Custom sizing based on inlet flow rate and tank geometry
