Abstract: The point of the invention is to evenly distribute water or effluent over an irrigation area or a drain field. Typically the fluid comes from a reservoir or a septic tank and is fed, by gravity, into a number of discharge pipes that would be located underground. The device related to this invention is characterized by a container with an inlet at the top and a number of outlets at the bottom. Inside the container the fluid is directed to the center of a flow splitter surface underneath, via a specifically configured spout. To make the fluid spread radian and uniformly towards the surface's perimeter this surface has hydrophilic properties and is convex shaped. The fluid eventually flows uniformly over the surface's edge and is evenly distributed over the outlets at the bottom.

Abstract: The point of the invention is to improve the distribution of waste water or effluent over a sewage treatment system based on irrigation of a plantation. Typically the effluent may come from a septic tank overflow and needs to be fed evenly into a number of discharge pipes that would be located underground in a percolation area. The device related to this invention is characterised by a container with an inlet at the top, located underneath the septic tank overflow, and a number of outlets at the bottom. Inside the container the effluent is funnelled and subsequently poured onto the centre of a flow splitter plate. To make the fluid spread radian and uniformly towards the plate's perimeter this plate is made of a porous material and is convex shaped. The fluid eventually flows uniformly over the plate's edge and is evenly distributed over a number of separated outlets underneath.
