When solids build up in the separator a
valve is open to the bag filters and solids are
transferred to the bag filters.

ABOVE GROUND SEPARATOR
The wastewater flows downward in the center inlet pipe and is discharged into the bottom of ABOVE
GROUND SEPARATOR tank. A truncated conical baffle ensures proper distribution of the incoming flow.
The conical configuration of the baffle forces the flow downward, accelerating separation of the solid
particles by gravity. These particles continue down to the bottom as the direction of the liquid flow is turned
upward. The upward gradient accelerates the flotation process, forcing any lighter floating material to the
top of the tank. Where it is skimmed off either continuously or intermittently. The clarified liquid exits the
ABOVE GROUND SEPARATOR through a screen diffuser then over another conical baffle and through the
annular space between the outlet pipe which surrounds the inlet pipe. The actual discharge point is several
feel below the surface of the liquid level in the separator vessel. This ensures that the clarified liquid will be
free from floating and settling contaminants. The external outlet port is gravity flow through a 2 inch pipe
connected to the treatment/storage tank.
