Oil separators

Requirements
An oil separator is designed to catch the source of pollutants
carried by run-off waters.

CHOOSE

We offer a wide range of oil separators conform to standards

EN 858-1.

Fields of application
CONFORMITY

According to current rules, the oil separators have to be used

for the pre-treatment of surface waters carrying hydrocarbons, for example:
To treat waters stemming from industrial
processes, from the washing of vehicles, from
the cleaning of oil coated elements.

TESTS

To treat rainy waters (drainage waters)

contaminated by the oil resulting from waterproof
zones (car parks, roads, factories, ).
To hold wide-spread light liquids and to protect

EN858-1

Advices
1. The rule becomes more and more strict as regards the
quantity of hydrocarbons rejected in natural environment. It is the reason why we advise to rather use devices provided with a coalescing filter which assures a
hydrocarbon discharge lower than 5 mg/l.
2. The good working of the separator imposes a sludge
trap large enough for allowing the settling of muds (see
following page).
3. The installation of the separator will largely be facilitated if the level of water has been correctly measured.
We propose, for that purpose, fixed or adjustable extension shafts which allow to position the device without
problem.

CLASSES

Classes of separators

There are 2 classes of separators:

CHOOSE

Class 1: with coalescing filter

Residual content lower than 5 mg/l according to essay standard EN 858.

Class 2: without coalescing filter

Residual content lower than 100 mg/l according to essay standard EN 858.

Covered surfaces

Uncovered surfaces

In case of covered surfaces, rejected waters primarily come

from cleaning. The flow rate of the device will thus be calculated according to the number of taps, heads, and all the
hydrocarbon rejects. For covered carparks, the table opposite
gives the size of the device according to the surface.

The flow is directly related to the pluviometry, to the surface

of the catchment area and to the slope of the network.

Separator without by-pass

For areas smaller than 1.400 m2, youll find in the table opposite the flow rate and the type of separator taking into account
a pluviometry of 150 l/ha/sec. In this case the device treats
the totality of the incoming flow.
Separator with by-pass
In this case the device treats 1/3 of the total incoming flow,
it allows to absorb an important flow in the event of storm, it
is especially adapted to treat water from uncovered carparks.
We strongly disadvise the use of an oil separator with by-pass
in an area where hydrocarbon is stored.

1/ Separator WITHOUT by-pass

2/ Separator WITH by-pass

The first part of the separator (sludge trap)

retains the mud and other particles. Muds
accumulate at the bottom of the sludge trap.

Especially for places where there is no storage

of hydrocarbons (for example carparks), the
separators fitted WITH the by-pass device
enables not to treat the entire flow.
When the entering flow is higher than the processing
capacity of the separator, the effluent goes through the
by-pass device and directly runs out of the apparatus.

OPERATION

Hydrocarbon charged water is directed towards the

second part of the separator and forwards from
bottom to top towards the coalescing cell. The
very small hydrocarbon particles are stuck on the
walls of the cell before going up on the surface.

ACCESSORIES

In the event of problems, the automatic obturation

is a safety device preventing from the evacuation of
hydrocarbons towards the draining network (for example:
in case of lack of maintenance or accidental discharge).

INSTALLATION

The obturation of the separator is carried out by a disc

assembled on a float tared to the density of hydrocarbons.
The float follows the layer of hydrocarbons until
obturation when the storage capacity is reached. Each
compartment is accessible by an inspection chamber.
