  • Patent number: 6645387
    Abstract: A method and device for separating grease from waste water. The separator device includes a receptacle with an upper first part and a lower second part separated by a plate. The receptacle further has an inlet port for waste water, a discharge port for separated waste water, discharge means for grease and/or sludge, and an overflow pipe establishing a connection between the receptacle first part and the receptacle second part. Waste water is supplied through the inlet port to the upper first part, and the waste water is allowed to undergo a separation by gravity, whereby a grease layer is formed on a separated waste water layer and a sludge layer on the plate. In order to achieve a high degree of separation, separated waste water is allowed to flow through the overflow pipe to the receptacle lower second part. Grease is removed from the grease layer and/or sludge from the sludge layer through the discharge means, and separated waste water is discharged through the discharge port.

  • Patent number: 6474357
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in a vacuum sewer system, which comprises a sewer network having a sewage source and sewer piping adapted for receiving sewage from the sewage source. A liquid driven ejector device functions as a source of vacuum for the vacuum sewer system. In order to improve the efficiency of and to ensure the function of the ejector device, the ejector device forms a primary circuit, which is separated from a secondary circuit formed by the sewage collecting process.

  • Patent number: 6470925
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transporting sewage in a vacuum system, which comprises a source (2) of sewage, which through sewer piping (1) is connected to a collecting or discharge space (15) for sewage, and means (4,5) for generating vacuum in the sewer piping (1). In order to attain a reliably operating system the method employs a rotary lobe pump (4,5) for generating vacuum, transported through the rotary lobe pump (4,5) to the collecting or discharge space (15) for sewage. The rotary lobe pump can also be used for emptying the collecting space.
