Above-ground Class 1 full retention oil/ water separator.
Suitable for both new installations and retrofit.
Designed for instances when existing oil/ water separating pump systems may need additional support to prevent hydrocarbons escaping and contaminating the environment, providing a secondary safeguard for sites where extra caution is required.
Recommended for environmentally critical sites and/ or where there is concern about pumped water discharge through soak-away or surface water drainage, where there is no underground drainage interceptor or separator.
Cost-effective, above-ground interceptor that performs to the requirements of a Class 1 full retention oil/ water separator and relevant section EN 858-1:2002. FilterSepta® eliminates the need for costly underground interceptor tanks to be installed.
Must be used in conjunction with Andel’s BundGuard® dewatering system. In rigorous tests, BundGuard® is shown to perform to less than five parts per million of oil present in pumped discharge water. FilterSepta® removes any emulsified oil or debris, however small, still present in the pumped water, allowing for safe discharge through existing surface water drainage.

How FilterSepta® operates:
Water is pumped from a BundGuard® into the first chamber through a T-section, preventing the bottom of the chamber being disturbed by the water flow. Silt and heavy solids will settle at the bottom of the chamber and as the outlet to the next chamber is at a high level, remain in the first chamber. Free oil will also separate and form a layer at the top and is allowed to flow in to the next chamber.
The outlet to the third chamber is at a lower level, so only water that is free of oil is allowed to pass through.
If over time there is a significant build-up of oil in the second chamber, an oil sensor will shut off the BundGuard®, which in turn will alert the site, allowing for simple maintenance to be carried out to remove the oil.
As pumped water enters the first chamber, gravity balances the water level in each chamber, progressively reducing the flow from one chamber to the next, giving time for any suspended solids to fall to the bottom of the chambers.
The final stage before discharge to drainage is for the water to flow through two Coalescing Filters that serve to remove any remaining suspended solids and emulsified oils as in a Class 1 interceptor.
