Low Flow Pipe for Water Quality Treatment
Low Flow Pipe for Water Quality Treatment
(OP)
Hi all. First time post. I am trying to work on a design for a storm drain system in which I would be diverting low flows with the use of a weir. All low flows would be routed to an infiltration trench or drywell to allow for percolation in the the natural soil.
My question is whether any here has ever seen a custom made 12" PVC with a weir wall inside, used to divert flow. The low flow pipe would likely be a 4" pvc pipe. The reason for such a design is due to the restriction in the amount of space and clearance available. Typically, a junction structure or similar would be used to divert flows, but we just don't have the room to use this. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

The orifice idea provided by RWF7437 is an option I may consider. Any other ideas out there? I greatly appreciate the feedback!!
