A sewer cleaning vehicle has a swilling or clean water tank for supplying a sewer cleaning hose having a sewer cleaning nozzle and designed to be lowered into a sewer to be cleaned, a waste tank and a pumping connection joining the waste tank with the swilling water tank. Furthermore, there is a water cleaning unit as part of a system for topping up the swilling water tank with water from the waste tank. For producing a high level of setling effect in the swilling water tank, this tank has generally upright separating walls for causing a division into a number of spaces placed hydraulically in series, the most upstream space being that joined up with the pumping connection. Each such space is joined up with the hydraulically next one by at least one let-through opening in the wall near the floor of the swilling water tank, the upstream side of each such opening being joined up with a flexible hose which, by way of a float is kept at the top of the water in the upstream one of the two spaces for skimming off cleaned water from the top of the space.
The present invention discloses a system and method for cleaning the field lines of a septic tank system. The field lines are outflow pipe fluidly connected to the septic tank. To the field line, there is connected a first pipe and a second pipe or a flush pipe and a vacuum pipe. One of the pipes directs cleaning fluid, usually water, into the field line while the other removes the cleaning fluid and other material from the field line through the field line. A third or valve pipe is added between the first and second pipes and the septic tank. A valve can be placed into the third or valve pipe which is used to close the flow of fluid between the septic tank and the first and second pipes.
A cleaning module for cleaning sewer pipes including sewer liner, and other types of conduits. The cleaning module may comprise a single hydraulically propelled unit, wedge-shaped and selected to fit pipe size. Pipeline walls are scoured by the slurry agitation produced by hydraulic pressure jets in the module. Alternatively, the module is assembled in situ and the relative size of components is selected depending upon the diameter of the pipeline. The module may comprise a front unit and rear unit or a frame assembly and a drive assembly. The modules contain a motor, preferably a hydraulic motor. The motor drives flails, thereby disintegrating solid waste or generating and propelling a sludge slurry. The slurry scours the pipeline walls by cavitation and abrasion action. Also disclosed are systems for cleaning a sewage line section and methods of their use. A system for cleaning pipelines is described which utilities and recycles, as a solid waste transport medium, nearly one hundred percent of the extracted liquid waste. The mobile extractor and separator unit comprises a separator for separating sludge waste from liquid and particulate waste, and for separating liquid waste from particulate waste. The mobile extractor and separator unit of the present invention also employs gravity and a conveyor belt or screw auger to transport the sludge waste.
