Description

Treatment System for Drainage Systems Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a treatment system for drainage systems. In particular the invention provides a means whereby debris entering a drain is collected for easy removal therefrom.
Background Art
A common problem associated with drainage systems is the tendency for debris to collect in the drainage system, resulting In blockages. Once the drain becomes blocked the area around the drain floods. This can be extremely hazardous, particularly where traffic is involved.
Debris passing though drainage systems can also be problematic in water treatment facilities, and may also leak from the drainage system and prove hazardous to the environment. It is therefore advantageous to prevent the debris entering the drainage system. Several systems have been devised to filter debris from the liquid as it passes through the grate or opening of the drain. At some point the collected debris needs to be removed from the system. In the prior art, this usually entails the use of a vacuum to suck the collected debris from the system. These systems incorporate filter plates/screens which slide into a housing. These plates/screens also require cleaning. In order to do this they must first be removed and a high pressure hose used to clean the filter. These systems are complicated in their construction and do not allow for the easy removal of debris collected therein.
The preceding discussion of the background to the invention is intended only to facilitate an understanding of the present Invention. It should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was part of the common general knowledge as at the priority date of the application.

Figure 13 is a plan view of the support housing shown in figure 10, In the drawings like structures are referred to by like numerals throughout the several views. The drawings shown are not necessarily to scale, with emphasis instead generally being placed upon illustrating the principles of the present invention.
Best Mode(e) for Carrying out the Invention Referring to figures 1 to 8, the invention according to a first embodiment is in the form of a treatment system 11 for removing debris from a liquid as it passes into a drainage system. The treatment system is generally designed to be located within the opening of a drainage system adjacent, but downstream of the grate. However, it is to be understood that the treatment system may be located anywhere within the drainage system.
The treatment system 11 of this embodiment is formed to remove both hard debris (e.g. sand, leaves, rubbish) from the liquid flowing into the drainage system, as well as chemical contaminants. Other embodiments as covered by the scope of this specification also Include those treatment systems which may be used to remove only one of these forms of debris.
The treatment system 11 comprises a support housing 13. As best show in figures 2 to 5 the support housing 13 comprises a first housing 15, a second housing 17 and securing means in the form of four elongate arms 19. The first housing 15 is formed from perforated sheet metal and provides a first drainage means 21. The first housing 15 is in the shape of a basket having tapered sides. Inner surfaces of the first housing support fixings in the form of brackets 23.
The first housing 15 is adapted to receive a first insert 25. The first insert 25 is formed from a woven, porous material to provide a second drainage means 27. The woven, porous material allows liquid to readily pass therethorough whilst blocking debris and therefore removing the debris from the liquid. The first Insert 25 Is snugly received in the first housing 15, and is in the same tapered, basket shape. This allows the debris to collect in the first insert whilst the liquid can pass into the drainage system minus the debris, and enables the first insert 25 to be easily removed from the first housing 15.
The first insert 25 also incorporates a set of handles 29 to assist in removing the first insert 25 from the first housing 15. As best shown In figure 7, the handles 29 are adapted to be positioned over the brackets 23, ensuring the first insert 25 does not collapse as debris collects therein.
The second housing 17 is located in spaced relation from the first housing 15 such that in use It Is located downstream from the first housing 15. The second housing 17 is also formed from perforated sheet metal and provides a third drainage means 31. The second housing 17 is adapted to receive a second insert 33 which is designed to remove contaminants such as oils and other chemicals from the liquid flowing therethrough.
The arms 19 removably support the treatment system 11 in position. The arms 19 are attached to the side of the first and second housings. At a distal end 35, each arm has an outwardly extending projection 37. When the treatment system 11 is in the drainage system, each projection 37 is adapted to be located on a surface upon which the drainage system's grate 41 rests, as best shown in figure 7. With this arrangement the treatment system 11 is suspended from the drain opening. As it utilises existing structures the treatment system 11 can be readily fitted to an opening without first requiring modification.
In use, liquid flowing through the grate 41 passes into and through the first insert 25, leaving behind hard debris such as leaves and sand, etc. The size of the debris removed from the liquid is governed by the material chosen to form the first insert 25. After the liquid passes through the first insert 25 and first housing 15, it flows through the second insert 33, which filters contaminants from the liquid, before passing through the second housing 17 and into the drainage system, relatively free of debris. At regular intervals, or after major downpours, the treatment system 11 may be checked by an operator and the first insert 25 removed from the first housing 15 to empty the debris from the first insert 25. The first insert 25 may be emptied on the spot into a bin, or a replacement insert may be placed in the first housing and the full insert may be cleaned at a later time.
The second insert 33 will not need replacing for several years. When it is time to replace the second insert 33 the treatment system 11 is removed from the drainage system and overall maintenance can be carried out before the system is placed back into position..
A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in figures 9 to 13. This embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment with the exception of its shape. The treatment system 111 of this embodiment is particularly adapted to those drainage systems having a round opening.
The advantages of the present invention include:
- easily installed and removed, whilst having no visual impact; - easy to remove collected debris;
- degree of filtering can be varied by using different materials for the inserts;
- can provide clean water supply for use in other areas and can enable water harvesting.
Modifications and variations such as would be apparent to the skilled addressee are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention. For example, the first insert may be formed from two or more layers whereby one layer may remove hard debris whilst the other layer removes chemical contaminants.
Reference to positional descriptions, such as lower and upper, are to be taken in context of the embodiments depicted in the figures, and are not to be taken as limiting the invention to the literal interpretation of the term but rather as would be understood by the skilled addressee.
Throughout the specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or group of integers but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.
