ABSTRACT:
A launder and baffle structure, used in association with a filtration tank of the type using granular filter media, is disclosed which reduces the amount of filter media lost during a backwashing cycle. The structure of the invention includes an elongated launder, sloping baffle structure associated with the elongated launder and air discharge structure associated with the sloping baffle structure which releases air from beneath the sloping baffle structure, the air having been dissipated from the fluid. The structure of the invention is configured to reduce velocity of flow in order to provide settling of filter media from solution, is configured to provide dissipation of air from solution to further enhance quiescence of flow and settling of filter media from solution, and directs fluid flow away from the launder. The structure of the invention further includes a wing baffle for dissipating velocity in the fluid.
