- Tests carried out at the hydraulics research establishment, HR Wallingford, achieved results substantially within the maximum hydrocarbon concentration in the outlet of 5mg/l (European Standard BS EN 858-1). Average result for all units tested was 1.22mg/l.
Features & Range
- The ‘heart’ of SPEL separators is the unique long life, low maintainence coalescer unit (filter) which ‘polishes’ the final effluent after 90% hydrocarbons of silt have been separated out.
- Good access to all parts for desludging.
- Automatic closure device (ACD) closes the separator off automatically once the maximum storage capacity of light liquid pollutants is reached, eg. major fuel spillage, so preventing them passing into the drain.
- Tank shell designed in accordance with BS 4994/BS EN 976.
- Filament wound shells are lightweight, but have great strength and durability and carry a 25 year warranty.
- Life expectancy in excess of 50 years.
