The Patrick Flood and Stanley Pump Station located in Farmington, Connecticut, was scheduled for replacement in 2007. Pumping station wet wells are often a problem for odor and corrosion where excessive turbulence can increase H2S emissions significantly. The engineering firm CDM designed plans to include a Vortex Flow insert in a drop manhole outside of the wet well because it offered a unique product for energy dissipation and odor control without the use of power or chemicals, both of which add cost and maintenance to a sewer system.
