A fluid separation system includes a tank with a storage chamber for retaining
floating and non-floating particulates. The tank includes a baffle for retaining
floating particulates within the storage chamber and for directing flow out of
the storage chamber. The tank also includes a bypass with an inlet flow control
zone and an outlet flow control zone. The flow control zones are separated by a
weir sized and positioned to regulate the fluid flow through a baffle port into
the storage chamber. The weir also provides control of the flow rate at which incoming
fluid is diverted directly through the bypass to the tank outlet rather than into
the storage chamber. The baffle and/or the weir may be curved, and the baffle may
include a complex curve, to aid in the smoothing of the fluid flow within the storage
chamber to improve particulate separation.
