A contaminant recovery device
A contaminant recovery device 1 comprises a container 2 sized to hold a body of contaminated liquid, a skimming arrangement 3 to remove contaminants from the body of contaminated liquid, and an assembly 5 for inducing a flow in at least part of the body of contaminated liquid at or about the skimming arrangement. The flow inducing assembly may comprise one or more paddles, which can be mounted to the skimming arrangement. The skimming arrangement may be a rotatable drum, rotatable skimming wheel or disk. The device can further comprise a wiper blade assembly and contaminant storage container 13. The device may comprise a filter 15, such as a strainer basket, operatively connected to a contaminated liquid inlet 9 to remove solids from the liquid entering the device. The device may comprise a heating element 25 to heat at least part of the body of contaminated liquid disposed within the container. The device may be positioned underneath a sink such that the device can receive contaminated liquid from the sink drain and recover contaminants such as fats, oils and grease therefrom. A method of recovering contaminants from a body of contaminated liquid is also claimed.
