  • Publication number: 20060157405
    Abstract: A casing defines a cavity that extends along an axis and that has a top, a bottom and axially front and rear ends. The casing is configured to conduct a liquid along a flow path through the cavity from the front end to the rear end. A holding structure in the cavity defines a media chamber that can be filled with media for treating the liquid. The holding structure has a top passageway through which the liquid can flow downwardly into the media chamber and a rear passageway through which the liquid can flow rearwardly out of the media chamber. Blocking structures in the cavity constrain the flow path to extend through the top passageway into the media chamber and through the rear passageway out of the media chamber.

  • Publication number: 20050126988
    Abstract: A casing surrounds a horizontal axis to define a cavity. The cavity has a top, a bottom, and axially front and rear ends. The casing is configured to conduct a mixture of a liquid and debris through the cavity from the front end to the rear end. Front and rear walls cap the casing at the front and rear ends. A horizontal outlet tube extends through the rear wall and defines a horizontal outlet channel with a bottom. A transversely-extending weir extends upward from the bottom of the cavity. The weir has a horizontal top edge located above the channel bottom and spaced below the top of the cavity, and further has fluid flow apertures below the channel bottom.

  • Publication number: 20050126989
    Abstract: A casing defines a cavity having a top, a bottom and front and rear ends. The casing is configured to conduct a liquid along a flow path through the cavity from the front end to the rear end. A holding structure, in the cavity, defines a chamber that can be filled with coalescing media. The holding structure has a top passageway through which the liquid can flow downwardly into the chamber and a rear passageway through which the liquid can flow rearwardly out of the chamber. Blocking structures constrain the flow path to extend through the top passageway into the chamber.
