At A Glance:
- Location : Gladsmuir, Scotland
- Client: Euro Garages
- Contractor: AKN Build
Products Supplied:
- Models supplied: 6no. ST800/5
- These silt traps are supplied with a Facta B galvanised steel grating for use with cars and vans.
- Large silt storage of 800 litres that is easily accessible and easy to clean out
- Simple angling of the concrete around the silt trap sends all of the wash water straight into the silt trap.
- Model supplied: 2no. FS2/SC
- This SPEL Puraceptor forecourt separator is certified to BS EN 858 Class 2.
- SPEL Class 2 separators have been tested by HR Wallingford to achieve a BS EN 858 Class 2 standard, suitable for discharge to a foul sewer.
- Sized to capture a complete tanker compartment in the case of a failure – 7,600 litres.
- All washdown water must discharge to the foul sewer due to the chemicals used in the washdown process.
- Model supplied: WDS200/2000
- 2000 litre silt capacity
- BS EN 858 suggests that a Class 2 separator should be used for washdown areas, prior to discharging to the foul sewer but washdown separators like these are often used downstream of the silt traps
- All 6 Silt Traps outlets are joining together before connecting into this washdown separator which will discharge into the foul water sewer.
Located on the A1 at Gladsmuir Junction, this new development by Euro Garages (commonly known simply as EG) has been situated to plug the gap in service stations between Berwick and Edinburgh. The service station includes an EG on the move fuel station, a Co-op Food, Greggs, Subway, Starbucks and Rollover! It also has 4 EV chargers and 3 jet wash bays.
This project perfectly demonstrates SPEL wide range of products that are available for service stations/petrol stations.
SPEL Forecourt Separators were used for the tanker refuelling areas and the petrol forecourt area, to ensure that a large oil spillage of up to 7,600 litres is captured within the separator. The Automatic Closure Device will close off the system in the case of a catastrophic oil spill, capturing the spill within the separator and preventing an environment disaster.
As Jet Wash facilities become increasingly popular, the SPEL Silt Trap and Washdown Separator also becomes increasingly popular. The SPEL vehicle wash silt traps are positioned right in the jet wash area, with the washdown water flowing over the grating and into the silt trap below. This silt trap captures the bulk of large silt particles, however further treatment is required. This is where a SPEL Washdown separator is used. The silt traps discharge into the SPEL Washdown Separator to capture further silts. In this case the Washdown Separator had a silt capacity of 2,000 litres.
