Method and device for cleaning water accruing from drilling in the ground

Abstract

Device (100) for cleaning grey water containing particulate material, comprising a contain-er (101) in turn comprising a water entry (102); a water exit (103); and a slanted separation wall (150,160) separating an upstream sedimentation volume (120,130) of said container from a downstream sedimentation volume (130,140) of said container, the separation wall comprising a through channel (151,161) having a lower outlet (153,163), via which water can flow, by gravity, from said upstream sedimentation volume to said downstream sedimentation volume. The invention is characterised in that the container further comprises a flocculant provi-sion means (110), arranged to add a flocculant (112) to grey water entering via the water entry, so that grey water having entered said upstream sedimentation volume after such adding contains said flocculant, and in that said lower outlet is shaped to direct a flow of water flowing downwards through the through channel obliquely upwards upon entry into the downstream sedimentation volume. The invention also relates to a method.
