General Program Information

This program places the baffles in the floctank at the appropriate locations. In the case of a vertical flocculator, alternating baffles are raised from the base of the floctank. The heights of the baffles change to account for headloss, and to ensure that water is flowing through the same cross-sectional area at all times. In the case of a horizontal flocculator, all baffles are drawn from the base of the flocculator and have the same height.

Unknown macro: {float}

Technical Program Outline

1) A new layer, "baffle," is created to draw all of the baffles in.

2) The baffles are placed iteratively in each channel from left to right of the floc tank.

4) All of the baffles are unioned as one object to allow the ports to be subtracted later in a single command.

5) The layer is set to "0" so that the "baffle" layer can be frozen.

6) The "baffle" layer is frozen.
