Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008052261A1] A solids separator for use in a sewer overflow chamber having an inlet, flow chamber and main outlet, whereby liquid, having solids entrained therein, flows from the inlet through the flow chamber to the outlet, the solids separator comprising: an overflow weir over which liquid flows during overflow into a separation chamber; a filter in the separation chamber that filters solids and allows liquid to pass through to an overflow outlet; and a return system containing a one-way valve whereby the return system flushes filtered solids back to the flow chamber and wherein the return system has a holding means for holding a sufficient amount of liquid to flush filtered solids back into the flow chamber.
