Design Algorithm

The inlet slopes program begins by designing the rough dimensions of the sedimentation tank and then moves on to design the trapezoidally shaped channel located at the bottom of the tank. This channel uniformly distributes water to the entire bottom of the sedimentation tank creating a uniform flow of water up through the sedimentation tank. This design was redesign of the previous set up that had water being delivered to the bottom of the sedimentation tank through a network of pvc pipes designed to serve the same purpose. This new design will allow for tanks to be shallower and thus more economical.
