Benefits of technology

This invention is about a mobile system that can recover liquids using a vacuum. The system includes containers, conduits, and a computer control device to automatically record the recovery information. The system can recover multiple different liquids and has a manifold system to keep them separate during and after recovery. The recovered liquids can also be discharged to external storage containers. The invention also allows recovery activity data to be transmitted to a remote location for monitoring. Overall, the invention is a technically advanced and efficient way to recover liquids.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The invention integrates liquid recovery flow monitoring elements and record-keeping elements in a novel combination with vacuum recovery devices and portable liquid storage containers. The flow monitoring and record-keeping elements are computer controlled and includes an user interface that allows for proper use and compliance with various recovery standards in particular applications. The type and volume of recovered and stored liquid are recorded simultaneously with the receipt of the liquid. For this reason, no manual or post-recovery measurement of liquid volumes is necessary and errors and incomplete records of events are prevented.

[0014]FIGS. 1 and 4 illustrate the same configuration of the inventive system. FIG. 1 depicts in schematic form the primary operating elements as used in a liquid recovery mode. In FIG. 1, an exemplary container 10 is illustrated to demonstrate the connections to other system components, while the connections to other container are not, for c...

Abstract

A novel hazardous liquid recovery system provides a portable vacuum recovery into multiple storage containers, each associated with particular liquid. The system is computer controlled and measures and records recovered liquid volume simultaneous with the recovery event. Multiple different hazardous liquids, including different flammable hydrocarbons, fuels, and oils can be recovered by a single unit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention pertains to devices and systems for recovering small incidental volumes of hazardous liquids by vacuum such as occurs in automobile services facilities. Incidental spills are those that occur as a consequence of activities in which hazardous liquids are present but are not the primary process or transport material. Generally, such hazardous liquid spills have volumes of five gallons or less.[0002]Handling and recovery of hazardous liquids are generally regulated and spill recovery efforts typically must include tracking and monitoring of liquid volumes. In the past, this has been done by manual methods that require manual measurement of volumes or amounts and manual recording of this data. These past methods are time consuming and prone to errors. What is needed is a method of recovering hazardous material while automatically recording the recovery event and the information defining the recovery activities.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]...
