Abstract

Receiving stations having gravity-driven waste separation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a receiving station includes a containment vessel and a filtration assembly disposed within the containment vessel. An inflow stream engages at least one filtration member disposed at an inclination angle with respect to horizontal such that one or more filtered fluids pass through the at least one filtration member and one or more filtered objects are prevented from passing through the at least one filtration member. A debris removal is positioned to receive the one or more filtered objects, and to convey the one or more filtered objects out of the containment vessel. The filtration assembly and the debris removal assembly are configured to enable the filtered objects to be driven by gravity downwardly along the upper surface of the at least one filtration member without assistance from a mechanical removal device.
