ABSTRACT:
A vacuum sludge receiver comprises a large vessel having a plurality of flexible filter tubes or extractor elements disposed along the bottom of the vessel connected to a common manifold in turn connected to a source of vacuum. Sludge bearing liquid is pulled to the manifold. As the liquid is extracted, the sludge forms a cake around the elongated flexible extractor elements to seal the elements and prevent direct access of air to the elements thereby maintaining a vacuum in the elements to continue drawing liquid from those areas of the container in which the flexible elongated extractor elements are still immersed within the liquid. Upon extraction of the liquid to the desired extent, the entire sludge-containing vessel is rotated to allow the sludge to be physically removed. Additionally, rotation of the vessel to a predetermined point suspends the elongated flexible filter tubes or extractor elements from the manifold in a hanging down position which allows the tubes to be manipulated to remove impacted or caked sludge which has formed on the elongated flexible elements.
