  • Measuring weir for measuring flow volume at an overflow
    Patent number: 6823729
    Abstract: A flow-measuring system has a weir wall bounded on a front face by a body of water and having a rear face and a top edge over which water from the body flows. A structure generally formed as an airfoil is mounted on the top edge such that water flowing over the weir wall must flow over the structure.

  • Apparatus for regulating am outflow
    Patent number: 5044394
    Abstract: An apparatus for regulating or controlling the outflow from a rain tank, a rain overflow, etc. contains a slide which, by a drive mechanism, can close the outlet line from the tank. The position of the slide is controlled by a control mechanism. The control mechanism is operated by the hydraulic oil of a hydraulic circuit having a hydraulic pump. The latter is driven by a turbine wheel, which is housed in a turbulence restrictor located downstream of the slide and which is rotated by the flow of the outflowing water.

  • Hydro-dynamic separator
    Patent number: 4816156
    Abstract: A hydro-dynamic separator for separating solids from liquids contains a circular cylindrical container with a slightly funnel-shaped bottom, in whose center is formed a drain. Inflow takes place tangentially in the lower region of the container. The container cover passes through an approximately cylindrical distributor, which is open at the top and bottom. The clean water overflow takes place through a slot-like opening outside the distributor and through the cover.

  • Siphon weir with a ventilating mechanism
    Patent number: 4810130
    Abstract: A siphon weir having a downwardly directed inlet port and a lower lying outlet port (18) on the downstream side connected with it by means of an approximately S-shaped siphon line (13) contains a ventilating mechanism for improving the regulating behavior. The ventilating mechanism is preferably constructed as a linear, sloping ventilating pipe (46), which is led out of the interior of the container to be regulated through the rising leg of the siphon line (13) and issues below the siphon top in the downwardly leading falling leg of siphon line (13). A diverter (28) for floating material can be mounted on the upper end of ventilating pipe (46).
