Patent ID: 8101071

Claim:
An oil removal reclamation clarifier system in communication with a body of oil laden wastewater fluid and a conduit for transporting the fluid to the reclamation clarifier system, the reclamation clarifier system comprising: an oil removal mixing containment device comprising an influent port and a sorptive agent inlet, wherein the oil removal mixing containment device is configured to facilitate contact between the oil laden wastewater fluid provided through the influent port and a sorptive agent provided through the sorptive agent inlet, thereby allowing sorptive agent to bond with oil contained within the oil laden wastewater fluid to produce an encapsulated oil product, wherein the oil removal mixing containment device includes an upper and lower section shaped for gravitational flow; a phase separation section disposed about and in fluid communication with the oil removal mixing containment device configured to collect a downward fluid flow of the encapsulated oil product and unencapsulated fluid, wherein said lower section of the oil removal containment mixing device is partially contained within a lower section of the phase separation section; an outlet for removal of encapsulated oil product and unencapsulated fluid, and, at least one decant valve located along or near a portion of a sidewall of the phase separation section.
