Waste water flows from a collection point (such as Sump Pit) into this Compact Above Ground Cone Bottom Oil-Water-Solids Separator, which settles out most of the solids from the waste stream. This can be used as a stand alone sewer discharge system or as a first stage in a complete treatment system.

Cone Bottom Storage Tanks are an effective means of separating solids from water. The steep slope of the cone tank bottoms enhances separation and allows solids to be decanted through a valve in the bottom. This can be automated upon request. These solids can then be easily flushed out of the cone tanks and allowed to dry prior to disposal.

For larger systems see Above Ground Cone Bottom Multiple Tank Oil-Water-Solids Separator.

There are several reasons to avoid using underground separation systems. For details see Separator Systems Comparison.
