  • Patent number: 11209025
    Abstract: A siphon float system comprises a siphon pipe with which the intake is supported by its connection to a float with a batch reactor wherein the float maintains a constant siphon intake depth below the fluid surface of the batch reactor. One or more valves prevent reverse flow within the siphon pipe and control flow as desired based upon fluid levels within a batch reactor. One or more siphons connect to an outfall control structure designed to permanently keep the siphon pipe full of fluid and able to actively siphon fluid as desired.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180335789
    Abstract: A siphon float system comprises a central dowel in communication with a batch reactor. A siphon float is slidably engaged with the central dowel, wherein the siphon float is hydraulically operated. A plurality of valves are in communication with the siphon float, wherein the plurality of valves selectively control a flow of water. one or more dowel pegs contact one or more valve triggers based on a level of fluid in the batch reactor; and a plurality of hoses to direct the flow of water.
