Abstract:
A prerotation basin for use in a sump pit or wet well includes a basin body having an upstanding exterior wall, an interior concavity for placement of a pump inlet therein, and a fluid entry channel formed in the basin body defined by a discontinuity in the upstanding exterior wall, where the fluid entry channel has a channel floor, the threshold of which is at an elevation that is equal to or lower than the elevation of the bottom surface of the interior concavity. The prerotation basin thereby provides a channel floor that slopes upwardly toward the bottom surface of the interior concavity to provide better solids entrainment in fluid being processed from the sump pit or wet well, and to provide self-flushing of the basin.

Claim (Index 1):
A prerotation basin for use in a wet well, comprising:\n a basin body having a top edge and a base edge; an upstanding exterior wall extending between the top edge and base edge of the basin body; an interior concavity formed in the basin body, the interior concavity having a bottom surface and an interior wall that is continuous with the bottom surface of the interior concavity; and a fluid entry channel formed in the basin body defined by a discontinuity in the upstanding exterior wall of the basin body, the fluid entry channel extending from the top edge of the basin body to a channel floor, the channel floor beginning at a threshold point positioned at the upstanding exterior wall of the basin body proximate the base edge and extending to the bottom surface of the interior concavity, wherein the threshold point of the channel floor is positioned at an elevation, relative to the base edge of the basin body, which is lower than the elevation of the bottom surface of the interior concavity relative to the base edge.
