- 2 Chamber unit for enhanced protection of the coalescers, especially in a large oil spill

RAF often use the 2 Chamber design for longer periods between maintenance.

As part of the Royal Air Force (RAF) continual upgrading of their bases, a new generator and generator compound was required. The MOD and RAF continually upgrade their bases to ensure they are ready to protect the UK and its interests 24/7, 365 days a year!SPEL are privileged to have worked on many RAF and MOD bases over our 60 Years of trading. SPEL have worked on both UK and locations oversees for the MOD, including RAF Akrotiri and similar oversees bases that the MOD own and operate from.
The generator compound required a full retention separator to ensure that if the generator ruptured or had a failure that caused a spillage to occur, the oil separator would capture the spillage and stop it from entering the surface water network and causing environmental damage.
The SPEL Puraceptor forecourt separator was chosen thanks to the 7,600 litre spill capacity which is designed within the unit. Furthermore the ability of SPEL to provide a full coalescer guiderail system and high capacity coalescer, both of which ensure that periods between maintenance are reduced as much as possible and when maintenance is required, it can be simply carried out from ground level.
