ABSTRACT:
A detention basin contains liquid and solids suspended therein. A planar flow control deck extending across a part of the basin is formed from a plurality of elongated flap members. One edge of each such flap member is fixed and an opposite edge is in releasable sealing engagement with the fixed edge of an adjacent flap member. That opposite edge of each flap member is free to move out of engagement with the adjacent flap member in response to the upward flow of the liquid in the basin. Inclined lamina form quiescent zones in which the liquid flow is reduced so that the solids settle and are separated from the liquid. The lamina are suspended in the basin in parallel relationship, with the angle at which the lamina are inclined being adjustable by a submerged adjustment mechanism. Each zone is open at the bottom to receive the liquid laden with the solids. The top of each quiescent zone is closed by the cooperation of the flap members. Each lamina is supported at a vertex connected to a flap member. In combination, the flap members form the flow control deck that promotes uniform liquid flow through all of the quiescent zones. The deck and the lamina can be installed in detention basins having square, rectangular or circular walls. The lamina are constructed of woven strips of steel or plastic.
