  • Patent number: 10315135
    Abstract: A conduit assembly of a gravity separation device having specialized joint structure for mating first and second conduits to permit easier removal of the first conduit. The first conduit may include a snout having a tube and a collar positioned at an end of the tube. The collar may include a flange extending outward from a center of the tube. The second conduit may have a main body and a saddle at an end of the main body. The saddle may include a track shaped to receive the flange of the collar of the first conduit. The saddle may also have a resiliently separable gateway comprising two opposing projections configured for receiving therebetween and partially enclosing the tube of the snout.

  • Publication number: 20180037476
    Abstract: A field-adjustable separation device including a base and a sidewall cooperatively defining a separation compartment. The device includes an inlet conduit attached to a first portion of the sidewall and an outlet conduit having a first segment including a distal end of the outlet conduit removably attached to a second portion of the sidewall substantially opposite the first portion. The outlet conduit also has a second segment fluidly interposed between the first segment and the separation compartment. The second segment includes a sectioned portion defining a plurality of pre-determined locations spaced along the second segment. The first segment is in fluid communication with an exterior of the separation compartment. The second segment is configured for adjustment to define an outlet orifice according to the plurality of pre-determined locations to provide fluid communication between the first segment and the separation compartment.

  • Patent number: 7481321
    Abstract: An interceptor configured to at least partially separate a mixture of a first material and a second material, the first material being a fluid. The interceptor includes a container having a base and a sidewall portion that extends upwardly from the base to at least partially define a separation chamber configured to receive the mixture and to facilitate separation of the first and second materials. The interceptor further includes an inlet aperture and an inlet diffuser. The inlet aperture is configured to provide fluid communication between the separation chamber and an inlet conduit that delivers the mixture to the interceptor. The inlet diffuser is in fluid communication with the inlet aperture and the inlet diffuser includes a body portion located within the separation chamber and an elongated outlet aperture that extends through the body portion to provide fluid communication between the inlet conduit and the separation chamber.

The interceptor includes a container having a base and a sidewall portion that extends upwardly from the base to at least partially define a separation chamber configured to receive the mixture and to facilitate separation of the first and second materials. The interceptor further includes a cap and an aperture disposed on the sidewall portion configured to provide fluid communication between the separation chamber and a conduit. The cap is removably coupled to the interceptor such that the cap inhibits fluid communication through the aperture. The cap is located within the separation chamber.
