ABSTRACT:
An oil/water separating system includes a skimming apparatus and a separating apparatus operatively connected therewith through a flexible conduit. The skimming apparatus includes an elongated central member disposed in a generally vertical orientation with an enlarged stabilizing section disposed adjacent a lower end thereof. A plurality of equally spaced arm members extends radially from the central member with each including spaced upper and lower arm sections and an elongated float member extending therebetween. An adjustable inlet portion disposed above the central member and operatively connected therewith includes a central downspout member axially aligned above the central member in a communicating relationship. A transverse plate section surrounds the top of the downspout member and a plurality of equally spaced vertically oriented fin sections extend radially outwardly therefrom. A bar section extends between ends of each pair of adjoining fin sections. The separating apparatus includes an elongated vertically oriented main chamber with an open bottom. A liquid inlet into the chamber is disposed adjacent the open bottom. A float is adjacent an upper end of the chamber. An adjustable vertically oriented oil downspout disposed within the chamber along the axis thereof is located adjacent an upper end of the chamber. A discharge conduit operatively connects the downspout and the exterior of the chamber.
