Abstract
An apparatus for the separation of immiscible liquids from liquid influent has a containment vessel. An influent channel discharges influent vertically upward against an upwardly divergent plate. This causes the influent to move radially outward, thus slowing the influent and facilitating gravitational separation of lighter immiscible liquids from the influent. As the separating liquids pass through a gap between the plate and the vessel to an upper region of the vessel, a hood funnels the separated lighter liquids to a collection zone. A transfer tube, a sensor, and a pump are provided to pump the lighter liquids out to a remote location. A pan in a lower portion of the vessel causes heavy solids to collect, and a suction conduit suctions the solids from the vessel. An effluent channel channels heavier liquids such as water from a central region of the vessel to a remote location, such as a sewer.
