Abstract
The present invention is directed toward an apparatus for efficient, durable, reliable, and cost-effective fluid injection. In particular, the present invention provides an unpowered device for automatic fluid injection dictated by pressure differential in the line. More specifically, the present invention provides a device for injecting a degreasing chemical into air relief valves in municipal wastewater systems, which operates off of the differential pressure in the pumped lines resulting from the pump operating cycles.
Claims1
A process for controlling grease buildup in wastewater air venting systems, comprising:
- monitoring pressure at an input side of an air relief valve in a wastewater system;
- drawing a specified amount of degreaser chemical into a cylinder when said pressure at said input side of the air relief valve drops below a specified level;
- and
- injecting said specified amount of degreaser chemical at the input side of said air relief valve via said cylinder when said pressure at the input side of said air relief valve exceeds said specified level.
