  • Patent number: 10300406
    Abstract: A large capacity immiscible liquid separator adapted for placement in the ground, rather than under the sinks of food processing facilities. The liquid separator has a large oil compartment that can be vacuum suctioned to empty the contents thereof. Large volumes of the immiscible liquid influent can be processed without the use of a ball-type valve. A large circumference weir allows a large volume of separated waste water to overflow to the sewer system. The weir can be H-shaped to provide a large circumference and thus accommodate large separated waste water flows thereover.

  • Patent number: 10035716
    Abstract: An immiscible liquid separator for maintaining a desired liquid relationship between an oil spillover and a water spillover irrespective of a tilt angle of the separator. The use of the separator is thus well adapted for use on ships and the like. The separator includes a cylindrical weir having an open top over which separated water spills when waste liquid is drained into the separator. The separator also includes a cylindrical oil stack having an open top over which separated oil spills when waste liquid is drained into the separator. The cylindrical oil stack is located within the cylindrical water weir, thus allowing the separator to function as desired independent of the angle of tilt of the separator.
