  • Patent number: 10882758
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of decontaminating a waste stream liquid of solid particulate and one or more other pollutants, the method comprising the steps of: (i) removing solid particulate contaminant from the waste stream liquid by passing the waste stream liquid through at least one solids trap into a waste stream liquid holding reservoir whereby solid particulate is retained in the at least one solids trap; and (ii) removing one or more other pollutants from the waste stream liquid in the reservoir by contacting the waste stream liquid with at least one contaminant trap whereby the contaminant trap sequesters the one or more other pollutants within the contaminant trap.
