Abstract:
A system for removing sediment from water is disclosed. The exemplary embodiments described herein disclose a system with a chamber having a deck positioned inside to divide it into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The deck may have a plurality of holes to hold filtration elements and also may have a ridge or a skirt or both. The filtration elements may be filter cartridges with multiple elongated filter elements that extend down into the lower chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A water runoff system for removing suspended particles from a liquid, the system comprising:\n a filter vessel defining an internal chamber; a deck positioned within the internal chamber and dividing the internal chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the deck having a plurality of holes formed therein, each hole having a filtration element therein; an outlet above the deck for permitting liquid to exit the upper chamber; an inlet line for introducing a liquid into the internal chamber for treatment flow that passes through the lower chamber, up through the filtration elements and to the outlet; a ridge positioned atop the deck, the ridge forming an outlet weir atop the deck; a plurality of the filtration elements are first filtration elements positioned to a first side of the ridge so that treatment flow of the liquid upward through the first filtration elements passes over the outlet weir to reach the outlet; and at least one the filtration elements is a second filtration element positioned to a second side of the ridge so that treatment flow of the liquid upward through the second filtration element reaches the outlet without passing over the outlet weir; wherein when flow of the liquid subsides from the inlet, liquid that has accumulated above the deck and on the first side the ridge flows downward through the first filtration elements and into the lower chamber and up through the second filtration element to the outlet, thereby backwashing the first filtration elements.
