balancing basin/pond/lake Explanation: saludos What is a balancing basin? - Yahoo! Answers - [ Traducir esta página ]21 Mar 2009 ... ......specifically in a wastewater treatment plant ... Main reason is Flow Equalization. It is an equalization tank in ETP. ... answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid... - Estados Unidos A balancing lake (also "flood basin") is a term used in the U.K. describing an element of an urban drainage system used to control flooding by temporarily storing flood waters. The term balancing pond is also used, though typically for smaller storage facilities for streams and brooks. In the United States, these lakes or ponds are frequently referred to as stormwater management ponds generically; specific pond types are detention basins, retention basins, infiltration basins, and constructed wetlands. In open countryside, heavy rainfall soaks into the ground and is released relatively slowly into watercourses (ditches, streams, rivers). In an urban area, the extent of hard surfaces (roofs, roads) means that the rainfall is dumped immediately into the drainage system. If left unchecked, this will cause widespread flooding downstream. The function of a balancing lake is to contain this surge and release it slowly. Failure to do this, especially in older settlements without separate storm and foul sewers, can cause serious pollution as well as flooding. |

equalization basin Explanation: The source text description seems to tally with this: http://www.albertanewsprint.com/mill/enveffluent.htm Equalization Basin - Clear filtrate from the primary clarifier feeds the equalization basin. The 12 hour basin serves to avoid effluent shocks in pH, temperature, BOD, etc. from reaching the major microbiological population within the activated sludge basin. A spray cooler in this basin cools the temperature when required. Initial mixing and aeration occurs within this basin. |
