Abstract: A feedwell assembly is provided to assist in evenly distributing a source liquid to a clarifier and for dissipating the energy of the source liquid during flocculation is provided. The feedwell assembly comprises a downwardly extending influent pipe providing a source liquid containing solids. An outer pipe surrounds a portion of the influent pipe, and the outer pipe includes a closed bottom end and defines an annulus around the influent pipe. A feedwell is formed around the upper opening of the annulus, wherein the feedwell includes a circumferential wall and a floor. A plurality of down pipes are circumferentially spaced around the outer pipe and fluidically connected to the floor of the feedwell. A plurality of weirs extend from the outer pipe and are concentric with the annulus, wherein the weirs are adapted to evenly distribute the source liquid to the down pipes.
