HOSE-LESS SLUDGE REMOVAL APPARATUS WITH FLOW BALANCING DIAGONALS

摘要

Apparatuses and methods are described herein. An example embodiment may include a balanced diagonal sludge removal assembly configured for use in a basin, the balanced diagonal sludge removal assembly including a discharge pipe, a collection pipe configured to slideably receive the discharge pipe, one or more header pipes extending from the collection pipe to define a first sludge communication path between the one or more header pipes and the collection pipe, and one or more balancing diagonals extending between the collection pipe and the one or more header pipes to define a second sludge communication path between the one or more header pipes and the collection pipe, wherein the one or more balancing diagonals balance flow distribution throughout the one or more header pipes.

1. A balanced diagonal sludge removal assembly configured for use in a basin, the balanced diagonal sludge removal assembly comprising:
a discharge pipe; a collection pipe configured to slideably receive at least a portion of the discharge pipe, such that the collection pipe is configured to move in a longitudinal direction relative to the discharge pipe; one or more header pipes extending from the collection pipe to define a first sludge communication path between the one or more header pipes and the collection pipe; and one or more balancing diagonals extending between the collection pipe and the one or more header pipes to define a second sludge communication path between the one or more header pipes and the collection pipe, wherein the one or more balancing diagonals are configured to at least partially balance flow distribution throughout the one or more header pipes.
