Abstract: One of the greatest challenges faced when using gravity settling is achieving efficient particle removal and retention rates under high inflow rates. This paper proposes a new method for enhancing sedimentation and protecting ...

Abstract: Flooding in urban communities is an increasingly prevalent issue that causes significant financial loss, property damage, and long-term adverse health effects. Backwater valves can reduce the risk of basement flooding ...

Abstract: Often it is implied that hydraulic particle separators that incorporate vortex technology provide enhanced particle settling. In this study, a generic vortex particle separator was closely examined using physical modeling ...
