Abstract
A separation tank device may include a holding tank having a tank wall coupled to and extending above a tank base. A base wall may be coupled to and may extend above the tank base. The base wall may form a base upper aperture that is opposingly positioned to the tank base, and a base lower aperture may be formed in the base wall. The device may further include a movable wall having a movable upper aperture and a movable lower aperture, and the movable wall may be movable between a first position and a second position. When the movable wall is in the first position, the movable lower aperture may be positioned above and aligned with the base upper aperture, and when the movable wall is in the second position the movable lower aperture may be unaligned with the base upper aperture.
Claims18
A separation tank device, the device comprising:
- a holding tank having a tank wall coupled to and extending above a tank base and forming a tank cavity;
- a base wall located within and completely surrounded by the tank cavity and the base wall coupled to a single support pillar and the base wall positioned above the tank base, the base wall forming a base upper aperture that is opposingly positioned to the tank base;
- a base lower aperture formed in the base wall and positioned above the tank base;
- a movable wall coupled to the single support pillar and positioned above the base wall, the movable wall not directly contacting the base wall so that the moveable wall is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the base wall and the tank wall, the movable wall comprising a movable upper aperture and a movable lower aperture, wherein the movable lower aperture is positioned above and aligned with the base upper aperture when the movable wall is in the first position, and wherein the movable lower aperture is unaligned with the base upper aperture when the movable wall is in the second position.

- a base wall located within and surrounded by the tank cavity and coupled to a single support pillar and positioned above the tank base, the base wall forming a base upper aperture that is opposingly positioned to the tank base;
- a base lower aperture formed in the base wall;
- and
- a movable wall pivotally coupled to the single support pillar and not directly contacting the base wall so that the movable wall pivots relative to the base wall between a first position and a second position, the movable wall comprising a movable upper aperture and a movable lower aperture, wherein the movable lower aperture is positioned above and aligned with the base upper aperture when the movable wall is in the first position, and wherein the movable lower aperture is unaligned with the base upper aperture when the movable wall is in the second position;
- a first filter bag, wherein material entering the movable cavity must pass through the first filter bag before exiting the movable lower aperture;
- and
- a second filter bag, wherein material entering the base cavity must pass through the second filter bag before exiting the base lower aperture.
