The liquid flow is radially deflected by a baffle plate in order to minimize the disturbance of the already settled solids in the sump.
Operating principle:
The circular liquid flow passes vertically through the CB where it encounters the separation components on its way to the CB sump. At this point the liquid flow is deflected by a baffle plate. Following the impact and deflection process, the liquid flow is radially dispersed horizontally towards the inside vertical walls of the catch basin.
This results in an intense mixing and a strong reduction of kinetic energy of the liquid flow. At the inside wall of the catch basin, the flow is split and is directed upwards towards the surface and downwards towards the bottom of the sump. This results in a further mixing and reduction of kinetic energy.
