ABSTRACT:
A device for regulating the rate of flow of waste water mixed with clear rainwater is disclosed. The device includes a collector chamber having a first orifice which receives the mixed water and second and third orifices which respectively discharge water containing a high concentration of waste water, and clear water. An adjustable device including first and second conical elements connected in series is mounted between the first and the second orifices. The first conical element has a lateral opening which extends into the second conical element. The effective area of the opening in the second conical element is controlled by a vertically movable shield. A first boss and a second boss settle the turbulence in the mixed water which enters the device. A deflector partially blocks the inside of the first conical element and diverts the lighter clear water through the opening. During floods or storms, water which is laden with heavier waste matter flows through the regulating device and out the second orifice while the less dense clear water is ejected through the opening and into the collector chamber and evacuated through the third orifice.
