Abstract
An apparatus for the continuous treatment of liquids such as rainwater, sewage and drainage, comprised of a rotary separator having a centrally located freely rotating cylinder which creates positively and forcibly a circular flow of liquid within the rotary separator different from the circular flow of the liquid caused by its being charged within the separator. Solid and suspended materials in the liquid are drawn to the center of the separator for removal and containment within a reservoir respectively. The reservoir, for collection of suspended material, is formed as part of the rotating cylinder. The apparatus further may comprise a holder-separator for entrapping floating substances.
