Patent ID: 7374669

Claim:
A vacuum transport system suited to moving FOG-laden water, the system comprising: a first reservoir including a first outlet arranged to drain the first reservoir in response to a first pressure within the first reservoir that is about equal to atmospheric pressure; a second reservoir including a second outlet arranged to drain the second reservoir in response to a second pressure within the second reservoir that is about equal to atmospheric pressure; at least one vacuum pump in fluid communication with the first reservoir and the second reservoir and operable to produce a vacuum within the first reservoir and the second reservoir; a first accumulator positioned to collect FOG-laden water from a first FOG-laden water source; a second accumulator positioned to collect waste water from a first waste water source, the first waste water source different from the first FOG-laden water source; a first valve operable to selectively provide fluid communication between the first accumulator and the first reservoir; and a second valve operable to selectively provide fluid communication between the second accumulator and the second reservoir, wherein the first reservoir and the second reservoir are arranged to inhibit the flow of FOG-laden water to the second reservoir.
