FLUID CONDUIT WITH LAYERED AND PARTIAL COVERING MATERIAL THEREON
First Claim
1. A method of treating an effluent comprising:
- passing the effluent along the interior of a conduit including apertures therethrough;
restricting the flow of the effluent out of the apertures with a dense fabric layer;
causing at least a portion of the effluent to overflow the upper edges of the dense fabric layer; and
flowing the effluent through an outer layer of fabric.

Abstract
A fluid conduit with layered and partial covering material thereon is disclosed. The fluid conduit may be used for processing and treatment of fluids which must be treated to remove materials so that the resultant treated fluid may be reused and/or returned to the earth and particularly to the water table. The fluid conduit may be of many forms and types and may have attached thereto and configured thereon covering material in partial form and a selected number of layers. The fluid conduit may be a septic pipe of smooth wall, of corrugated form, and/or of any form of cross-sectional configuration including circular, elliptical, rectangular, triangular, or any other geometric shape. The fluid conduit may be used in combination with conduit in a drainage field or leaching system usually associated with a septic tank or septic system.

8. A method of separating particulates in an effluent, the method comprising:
-
providing a substantially cylindrical conduit comprising apertures, at least one coarse layer positioned on the outside of the conduit on at least a lower circumference of the conduit, and a fabric layer positioned outside of the course layer; introducing the effluent into the conduit; flowing the effluent through a coarse layer; flowing the effluent through the fabric layer; and separating particulates in the effluent by size. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of treating wastewater, the method comprising:
-
introducing the wastewater into a conduit including apertures therethrough, the conduit walls comprising a series of alternating u-shaped peaks and troughs, a first fabric layer covering a lower section of the circumference of the conduit, and a coarse layer surrounding the first fabric layer; flowing the wastewater through the first fabric layer; and filtering particulates of varying size from the wastewater through deniers of decreasing pore size along a length of the conduit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
