Self-Contained Water and Oil Separator

摘要

A system and method for the separation of oil and water. Contaminated water is introduced into a settling and separating bowl through an inlet pipe. The contaminants float to the top and are recovered by a weir skimmer. The weir skimmer is fluidly connected to a recovered oil tank which receives the recovered oil. An oil separator filter belt is located in the separating bowl and separates the bowl into two segments: an upstream end on the side closest to the inlet and a downstream end on the opposite side of the inlet of the belt. The oil separator filter belt aggregates entrapped and entrained oil and other contaminants.

1. A system for the separation of water and contaminants, said system comprising:
an inlet pipe which directs contaminated water to a bowl; a weir skimmer located within said bowl, wherein said weir skimmer recovers contaminants which float atop the contaminated water; a filter belt located within said bowl, wherein said filter belt aggregates entrained contaminants; an outlet pipe which directs cleaned water out of said bowl; and wherein said filter belt divides the bowl into an upstream end upstream from said filter belt and a downstream end downstream from said filter belt, wherein said inlet pipe is located in said upstream end, and wherein said outlet pipe is located in said downstream end.
