Trying to model sanitary flow equalization basins using SewerCAD. Existing system has a typical lift station (wet well, dry well, pump) and also a 1.5 MG basin for handling peak flows. Development in the area will increase the flow to this lift station. If I use equalization (expand the current), I can potentially reduce the size of the pump required and hopefully not have to replace the 11,600 foot 18" force main with a larger main. I've been trying to model this in SewerCAD using a wet well to represent both the exiting wet well and basin. Does not seem to work very well in steady state analysis (wet well floods regardless of pump/wel size). Any ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.
