  • Oil recovery system
    Patent number: 3934275
    Abstract: A two phase recirculating sanitary system is described in which the flushing fluid phase is temporarily stored in the toilet bowl while the waste phase in the storage tank is being drained. A controllable valve is inserted between the toilet bowl and the waste tank. Prior to draining the waste tank, the controllable valve is closed and the flushing fluid phase is pumped into the toilet bowl where it is stored. The waste tank is then drained and all waste material is removed. The controllable valve is then opened releasing the flushing fluid to cover the bottom portion of the waste tank and the system is ready for use.
