Abstract
A waste product separator includes a plurality of plate gussets which support a top cover plate. Each gusset has opposite ends with an interconnecting declining edge extending from the top plate to the roadway. The respective edges further support a first ramp and a second ramp. Each ramp includes elongated slots so that onrushing waste water flows through the first ramp followed by discharge through the slots of the second ramp. Collection sections are under the top cover plate and in the path of the oncoming rush of waste water and each section includes an oil absorption unit and a toxic waste or product unit so that the waste water must filter through these units to reach a discharge ramp. The units serve as a catch basin for retaining trash.
Claims11
A petroleum and toxic waste separator comprising:
- a support base having an incline portion, a declining portion, and with a central space defined between said incline and declining portions wherein said central space separates said incline portion from said declining portion;
- a top plate carried on said support base between said incline and declining portions;
- an inclining slotted first ramp supported on said incline portion of said support base;
- a declining slotted second ramp supported on said declining portion of said support base;
- drainage water cleansing units disposed under said top plate;
- said cleansing units disposed under said top plate include at least one petroleum product filter separator and a toxic contaminant filter separator for receiving drainage water from said first ramp;
- and
- said first ramp constituting an inlet ramp for receiving drainage water and conducting drainage water to said cleansing units for discharge via said second ramp.
A cleansing apparatus for cleaning and filtering roadway drainage water comprising:
- a support base disposed on a roadway in the path of flowing drain water;
- a top plate removably carried on said support base elevated from the roadway;
- a first inclined panel supported on said support base having a plurality of inlet openings for receiving drain water for conducting drain water beneath said top plate;
- a second declined panel supported on said support base having a plurality of outlet openings for discharging drain water from beneath said top plate;
- and
- a petroleum separator and a toxic waste separator disposed between said first inclined panel and said second declined panel immediately beneath said top plate for separating pollutants and contaminants from drain water.
A petroleum and toxic waster separator comprising:
- a support base;
- a top plate carried on said support base;
- an inclining slotted first ramp supported on said support base;
- a declining slotted second ramp supported on said support base;
- drainage water cleansing units disposed under said top plate;
- said first ramp constituting an inlet ramp for receiving drainage water and conducting drainage water to said cleansing units for discharge via said second ramp;
- said support base including a plurality of spaced and parallel gussets with each gusset having a central recess for receiving said top plate and said central recess separating an incline portion for supporting said first ramp and a declining portion for supporting said second ramp;
- and
- wherein said drainage water cleansing units include at least one petroleum product filter and a toxic contaminant filter for receiving drainage water from said first ramp.
