Abstract
A separator, for separating solids from a liquid, comprises a hydrodynamic separator, a first filtration device, a first backwash device, a second filtration device, and a second backwash device. The first filtration device comprises a first inlet at a first level for receiving at least a first portion of the liquid from the hydrodynamic separator, and a first filter for filtering the first portion of the liquid received via the first inlet. During filtration of the first portion of the liquid, the first portion of the liquid passes through the first filter away from the first inlet and a first portion of solids is retained by the first filter. The first filter is located between the first inlet and the first backwash device. The first backwash device is configured to alternately prevent and allow the passage of the first portion of the liquid through the first backwash device such that, when the passage of the first portion of the liquid through the first backwash device is prevented, the first portion of the liquid that has passed through the first filter passes back through the first filter toward the first inlet so as to remove the first portion of solids from the first filter. The second filtration device comprises a second inlet at a second level higher than the first level for receiving a second portion of the liquid from the hydrodynamic separator, and a second filter for filtering the second portion of the liquid received via the second inlet. During filtration of the second portion of the liquid, the second portion of the liquid passes through the second filter away from the second inlet, and a second portion of solids is retained by the second filter. The second filter is located between the second inlet and the second backwash device. The second backwash device is configured to alternately prevent and allow the passage of the second portion of the liquid through the second backwash device such that, when the passage of the second portion of the liquid through the second backwash device is prevented, the second portion of the liquid that has passed through the second filter passes back through the second filter toward the second inlet so as to remove the second portion of solids from the second filter.
