Info
All installations have a coalescence filter. The volume of the
hydrocarbon separator depends on the flow rate discharged. Do not
hesitate to contact our technical service to help you to determine
the correct type of separator.
The installation is standard foreseen of a venting. All
installations also have a:
- Splash presenter
- In with shutt off odour
- Out with automatical shutt off odour
Operation
Operation of the separator
The water coming from the garage, car parks,... loaded with
hydrocarbons but without the sludge, enters the tank by means of an
anti-splash device. The hydrocarbons will separate from the water
because their density is lower than the density of water. They
collect on the surface of the water. At the outlet of the
installation a siphon with an automatic valve is installed. The
automatic valve consists of a float that can move in a vertical
pipe and seals at the bottom.
This float has been made in such a way that it can float on the
water but not on the oil. As more and more hydrocarbons collect in
the tank, the water surface and of course also the float will
descend. As soon as the float gets to the bottom of the tube, it
will close the oulet, and no more liquid can be discharged. When
this happens, the installation must be cleaned.
Operation of the coalescence filter
The coalescence filter consists of separate, floating carriers with
a specific surface of 200 m² per m³. It enlarges the distance
between in and outlet thus giving the smaller hydrocarbon particles
the time necessary to separate from the water. The smaller parts
are too small to float and attach themselves to the filter. After a
while, more and more small bubbles reunite until they are big
enough to float.
Boralit has 3 alarm systems in its range of products as an option
for hydrocarbon separators.
- KANA : level alarm with floater: gives a signal when the
maximum level of hydrocarbon in the separator is reached.
- KANA 2: electronic level alarm: gives a signal before the
maximum level of hydrocarbon in the separator is reached.
- KANA 3: electronic mud and sandalarm. Gives a signal before the
maximum level of hydrocarbon in the separator is reached. Closet
with steering unit.
