The 900 L, 3 L/s hydrocarbon separator with decanter and coalescing filter, reference GA76020, is the ultimate solution for the efficient management and treatment of wastewater contaminated with oils, gasoline, and greases of mineral origin. Specifically designed to meet the strictest environmental protection regulations, this unit guarantees optimal separation through a physical decanting and coalescence system, preventing harmful substances from reaching the sewer system or the surrounding environment.

This advanced system is indispensable in facilities where there is a risk of hydrocarbon spills, such as mechanical workshops, service stations, car washes, underground parking garages, scrap yards, and industrial areas. Its operation is based on gravity, first separating sludge and heavy solids in the settling compartment, and then retaining microdroplets of oil thanks to the high efficiency of the coalescing filter, ensuring excellent treated water quality.

Main Features

• Total capacity of 900 liters and a nominal treatment flow rate of 3 liters per second.

• It incorporates an integrated settling system for the pre-retention of sand, mud and heavy particles.

• High-efficiency coalescing filter that clumps together fine hydrocarbon particles, facilitating their ascent.

• Robust construction and highly durable materials that are highly resistant to corrosion and chemicals.

• Airtight and reliable design that prevents any type of leakage into the environment.

• Easy access for periodic maintenance, inspection and emptying of retained sludge and hydrocarbons.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of installations is this hydrocarbon separator recommended for?

It is designed for any industrial or commercial activity where rainwater or wash water may be contaminated with mineral oils, fuels, or greases. It is ideal for workshops, gas stations, parking lots, and car washes.

How does the coalescing filter separation process work?

The water first passes through the settling tank where solids are retained. Next, it passes through the coalescing filter, a structured material that forces the small dispersed oil droplets to coalesce into larger droplets, which quickly rise to the surface to be stored until removal.

What maintenance does the GA76020 equipment require?

Periodic visual inspections are required to check the sludge level in the settling tank and the condition of the coalescing filter. Professional cleaning and emptying are recommended at least once a year, or whenever contaminant buildup reaches the specified limits.

Does it comply with current regulations on waste disposal?

Yes, this system is manufactured to comply with European standards and local discharge regulations, ensuring that residual hydrocarbon levels in the discharged water are well below the limits permitted by law.
