Steel-Reinforced Hdpe Rain Harvesting System
US Patent:
8561633, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Nov 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/941892
Inventors:
Daniel M. Early - New Castle VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
International Classification:
B65G 5/00
US Classification:
137363, 1372361, 13756511, 405 53, 405 55, 21017003, 210484, 210489
Abstract:
The steel-reinforced HDPE rain harvesting system collects, stores, and pumps harvested rain water for a variety of non-portable uses. The rain harvesting system includes either a horizontally disposed or vertically disposed steel-reinforced plastic cylindrical wetwell connected to an inlet pipe. The inlet pipe discharges rain water into a rain filter made from a pervious concrete manhole lined with a replaceable 20-micron filter cloth. The rain filter allows rain water into the storage section of the wetwell. A high water alarm is disposed in the rain filter and alerts maintenance personnel to clean the filter when needed. A submersible pump is housed in an HDPE pump sleeve outside the wetwell and conveys effluent from a forcemain at the wetwell's bottom portion to a target area. A level monitoring system disposed inside the wetwell selectively activates the pumping system. Maintenance hatches atop the unit are included.
Wastewater Treatment System And Method
US Patent:
2011016, Jul 14, 2011
Filed:
Jan 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/005309
Inventors:
Daniel M. Early - New Castle VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
International Classification:
C02F 3/30, C02F 9/14, C02F 3/12, F03B 11/02
US Classification:
210104, 210151, 210541, 210260, 2101953, 210141, 210258, 210153, 137561 R
Abstract:
The wastewater treatment system provides multiple techniques for decontaminating wastewater contained within a single system, thus optimizing the decontamination of the wastewater. In one embodiment, the wastewater treatment system includes a steel-reinforced plastic tank having first and second partition walls dividing the tank into first, second and third chambers. The first chamber includes at least one first effluent filter and further contains anaerobic bacteria for removal of organic waste material from the wastewater received therein. The first chamber is configured for at least partial removal of particulate and organic matter from the wastewater. The second chamber includes an air diffuser and further contains aerobic bacteria for further removal of organic waste material from the wastewater received therein. The third chamber includes a sludge pump assembly and at least one second effluent filter. Resultant purified water is selectively discharged from the third chamber through an outlet port.
Wastewater Treatment System
US Patent:
2012009, Apr 26, 2012
Filed:
Jan 3, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/342916
Inventors:
DANIEL M. EARLY - New Castle VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
Scott F. Easter - Huddleston VA, US
International Classification:
C02F 1/48, F03B 11/02
US Classification:
2101981, 137561 R, 210348, 210222
Abstract:
The wastewater treatment system includes a hollow, elongate, horizontally disposed, cylindrical body made from plastic is adapted for water storage and treatment. The cylindrical body includes reinforcement ribs formed by a helically wound steel band embedded in the plastic and extending between opposite open ends of the elongate cylindrical body. A voltage source selectively energizes the steel band. A pair of bulkhead members respectively extends across and covers opposite ends of the cylindrical body. A fluid-tight wall is mounted in the cylindrical body, the first bulkhead member, the fluid-tight wall and the cylindrical body forming a fluid-tight tank defining a liquid storage chamber. The second bulkhead member and the fluid-tight wall define a dry liquid treatment equipment chamber. An inlet pipe extends into the tank for admitting the pretreatment liquid into the tank. An outlet pipe extends from the tank and discharges the treated liquid from the tank.
Portable Steel-Reinforced Hdpe Pump Station
US Patent:
2012010, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Oct 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/277973
Inventors:
DANIEL M. EARLY - New Castle VA, US
SCOTT F. EASTER - Huddleston VA, US
SCOTT F. EASTER - Huddleston VA, US
International Classification:
F04B 49/02, F04B 53/00
US Classification:
417 1, 417234
Abstract:
The portable steel-reinforced HDPE pump station includes a vertically upright, cylindrical wet well fabricated from steel-reinforced plastic. Pumps are disposed in the wet well. A pipe connected to the pumps extends to the outside of the wet well to allow outflow of water to external systems. An access hatch covers the upper portion of the wet well and is arranged above grade. The remainder of the wet well is disposed in the ground, below grade. Vertically disposed sliding rails are attached inside the wet well, and extend upward from a working area of the well to the top of the well near the access hatch. The pumps are slidably attached to the rails to facilitate sliding installation and removal of the pumps by way of the access hatch. A water-receiving inlet pipe extends into the wet well, the inlet pipe allowing entry of water inside the wet well.
