ABSTRACT:
A fluid inlet for waste water treatment equipment adapted to dissipate energy of a fluid that flows through the fluid inlet. The fluid inlet includes a bottom wall, a side wall and a plurality of spaced apart ports. The ports are in fluid communication with a chamber formed by the bottom wall and the side wall. Directional deflectors are respectively associated with each port. The directional deflectors of adjacent pairs of ports direct respective flows of fluid from the adjacent pair of ports toward one another such that the respective fluid flows from adjacent pairs of ports impinge upon one another and thereby dissipate energy.
