Swirl Device for Regulating and Treating Combined Sewer Overflows

摘要

An intensive study to develop a new type of combined sewer overflow regulator device, called swirl, was conducted under the general supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Storm and Combined Sewer Technology Program, Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory, Cincinnati, Ohio. The design of this device was based on hydraulic and mathematical modeling to optimize its configuration. The report describes the results of a full-scale prototype swirl unit that controlled real overflows in the city of Syracuse, New York, and discusses other areas of operation.
