Self-contained water and oil separator

A system for the separation of water and contaminants, said system comprising:

• an inlet pipe which directs contaminated water to a bowl;
• a weir skimmer located within said bowl, wherein said weir skimmer recovers contaminants which float atop the contaminated water;
• a continuous filter belt located and traveling within said bowl, wherein said filter belt aggregates entrained contaminants and travels outside and above said bowl, wherein an air blade is positioned adjacent to said filter belt above said bowl;
• an outlet pipe which directs cleaned water out of said bowl;
• and
• wherein said filter belt divides the bowl into an upstream end upstream from said filter belt and a downstream end downstream from said filter belt, wherein said inlet pipe is located in said upstream end, and wherein said outlet pipe is located in said downstream end, wherein said weir skimmer is located in said upstream end;
• wherein said filter comprises an oil phobic material;
• and wherein said weir skimmer is a floating weir skimmer, and wherein said weir skimmer is coupled to at least one float, and wherein said weir skimmer is fluidly connected to a flexible oil skimmer recovery pipe such that said weir skimmer can freely float and bob along a top surface of said water.
