Modular systems and methods for fluid dispersion

A fluid distribution system comprising:

• at least a first base module coupled to a second base module,
• the first base module and the second base module each comprise a frame structure comprising at least one side piece and at least one end cap, and at least one fluid distribution conduit, the fluid distribution conduit secured within the frame structure, the fluid distribution conduit including a first end and a second end, and at least one aperture having an inside diameter, the at least one aperture positioned in a wall of the fluid distribution conduit and sized and configured for fluid flow communication with attachable equipment,
• at least one end cap of the first base module being coupled to at least one end cap of the second base module and forming a ballast portion, and
• the first end of the fluid distribution conduit in the first base module extending through the first base module end cap and into the ballast portion, and the first end of the fluid distribution conduit in the second base module extending through the second base module end cap and into the ballast portion.

A method of coupling a fluid distribution conduit to an apparatus for use in a sewage treatment system, the method comprising:

• providing a fluid distribution conduit, the fluid distribution conduit including a first end and a second end and a wall,
• creating an aperture in the wall of the fluid distribution conduit, the aperture including an inwardly slanting edge and having an inside diameter,
• providing an apparatus, the apparatus including a mating tube having an outside diameter greater than the inside diameter of the aperture, the mating tube providing fluid flow communication between the fluid distribution conduit and the apparatus, and
• inserting into the aperture the mating tube of the apparatus to form a fluid tight seal, the inwardly slanting edge substantially preventing extraction of the mating tube from the aperture.
