  • Publication number: 20240328142
    Abstract: A grease interceptor for use with a wastewater treatment system comprises a tank which is divided by a baffle into a first chamber and a second chamber. Wastewater flows from an inflow pipe into a first chamber of the tank. The wastewater may then flow through openings in the baffle to a second chamber of the tank. The wastewater may then flow through an outlet pipe in the second chamber to exit the system. The inflow pipe may comprise a flow restrictor which may restrict the flow of wastewater within the inflow pipe.

  • Publication number: 20240240445
    Abstract: A kit, and an assembly formed with components of the kit, comprises a fitting for the top of a septic tank or water tank, one or more frusto-conical rings shaped to interconnect with an identical ring to form an undulating wall riser that extends upwardly from the tank top fitting, and a lid. The lid is shaped for multi-purpose use: closing off the opening of either the large end or the small end of a ring/riser—whichever is uppermost, or closing off the fitting when there is no riser. Joints between the rings of the riser, and between a ring/riser and the fitting of a tank, are held together by latching tabs and/or screws. A fitting may be integral with a tank top.

  • Patent number: 11851867
    Abstract: A rectanguloid shape six-walled thermoplastic box for receiving and dispersing stormwater, when part of an array of like boxes that is buried in media, has interior bracing in the form of an irregular polyhedron structure comprised of up to six hollow pyramids. The truncated apexes of the pyramids meet near the center of the box. The base of each hollow pyramid is contact with, attached to, or integral with a wall at the location of an opening within which is a grate. A box may be injection molded as a single piece molding with living hinges. Alternatively, the pyramidal polyhedron structure may be formed as a separate element and placed within the walls of a box.
