Separate Brine and Chlorine inputs to Wastewater Treatment Plant

Please enable simultaneous input of Brine and Chlorine to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
It's currently possible to treat both Wastewater and Toxic Slurry in a single plant, but only if either Chlorine or Brine is delivered by truck. This is a bit silly.
Also, it would be nice if a second sand/filter media port was available. Judging by the graphics, it surely looks like it was intended to have two U-shaped ports.

Workaround:
FWIW, you can put a pipe balancer 1m away and feed it both brine and chlorine. The game will allow only one fluid in the 1m connecting pipe, but it will allow either fluid. This approach is also useful for providing acid to copper processing and allowing water as a backup if your acid production is unreliable.

@AnnoyingOldMan, it is indeed possible to feed the treatment plant both chlorine and brine without trucks, but, as opposed to the copper processing, the treatment plant *requires* one or the other based on what it's treating, the solution as you propose it would quickly congest. The solution is a feeder loop with a connector adjacent to the input with both an input and an exit, which allows both fluids to circulate interchangeably and satisfy both recipes. It's a complicated set-up because it requires two tanks to separate the fluids and re-feed them into the loop.
If you have an example of a working set-up that is less complicated, I'd very much like to see it.

Yeah. Maybe we need modular buildings to in/decrease the production or usage of products and choose the outputs....
Would be also great if you could choose the side of the out/inputs without changing the other out/inputs (for example the sludgeoutput could also be on the other side, without changing the Wateroutput.)
