Abstract
The present invention includes an apparatus and system for treating waste water. More specifically, for the removal of a floating component of the waste water from the remaining water relatively free of the floating component. The apparatus includes a separating chamber having a movable flow gate disposed at one side thereof. A preferred embodiment of the present apparatus includes a skimmer that is movable in both horizontal and vertical directions for facilitating the removal of the floating component of the waste water from the separating chamber. The present system includes an apparatus for treating waste water and sludge.
Claims44
An apparatus for treating waste water including oil and grease, comprising:
- a separating tank defining a separating chamber for receiving a quantity of waste water;
- and
- a flow gate positioned at a side of said separating chamber, said flow gate being movably disposed so that it can be lowered for separating a floating component of the waste water from the remaining water relatively free of the floating component by removal of the floating component from said separating chamber,
- and a drying means forming a drying chamber operatively connected to said separating chamber.
A system for treating waste water and sludge, comprising:
- a separating tank defining a separating chamber for receiving a quantity of waste water,
- a flow gate positioned at a wall of said separating chamber, said flow gate being movably disposed so that it can be lowered for separating a floating component of the waste water from water relatively free of the floating component by removal of the floating component from said separating chamber,
- a drying unit operatively connected to said separating chamber with said flow gate disposed therebetween, said drying unit including a heating unit;
- and
- a condensing unit operatively connected to said drying unit for removing humidity from drying unit.
An apparatus for treating waste water including oil and grease, comprising:
- a separating tank defining a separating chamber for receiving a quantity of waste water;
- a flow gate positioned at a side of said separating chamber, said flow gate being planar and vertically movable so that it can be lowered for separating a floating component of the waste water from the remaining water relatively free of the floating component by removal of the floating component from said separating chamber and a drying means forming a drying chamber operatively connected to said separating chamber;
- and
- including a skimmer for skimming at least a portion of the floating component towards said flow gate to facilitate spillage and removal from said separating chamber.
