The 1200 L, 6 L/s hydrocarbon separator with decanter and coalescing filter (Reference: GA76021) is the ultimate solution for the efficient management and treatment of wastewater contaminated with oils, greases, and light liquids. Designed to the highest quality standards and current regulations, this unit guarantees optimal separation through a two-stage system that combines gravity settling and advanced coalescing filtration, ensuring safe discharge into the sewer system or authorized waterways.

This system is especially suitable for industrial facilities, mechanical workshops, service stations, car washes, parking lots, and fuel storage areas where it is mandatory to retain hydrocarbons before water drainage. Its operation is based on the difference in densities: heavier particles settle in the settling compartment, while fine oil droplets are attracted to the coalescing filter, merging into larger droplets that rise to the surface for effective retention.

Manufactured with high-strength structural materials and exceptional durability against corrosion and aggressive chemicals, this separator ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance costs. Its compact design facilitates quick and safe installation, perfectly suited to the needs of professional projects that demand maximum performance in environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of installations is this 6 L/s hydrocarbon separator suitable for?

This model is designed for medium and large-sized facilities, such as service stations, vehicle repair shops, underground parking lots, scrap yards, car washes, and industrial areas where rainwater or wastewater contaminated with oils and greases is produced.

How does the coalescing filter system work?

The coalescing filter acts as an advanced purification stage. Microdroplets of hydrocarbons suspended in the water come into contact with the filter material and coalesce, forming larger droplets. Due to the difference in density with water, these droplets quickly rise to the surface of the tank, where they accumulate for later removal.

What maintenance does the equipment with reference GA76021 require?

Periodic maintenance includes visual inspection of the sludge level in the settling tank and the accumulation of hydrocarbons on the surface. Regular removal of the retained sludge and oils by an authorized waste management company is necessary, as well as cleaning or replacing the coalescing filter according to the usage recommendations to ensure maximum treatment efficiency at all times.

Does this equipment comply with current regulations regarding waste disposal?

Yes, the design of this separator guarantees quality levels in the treated water that comply with the limits established by environmental regulations for the safe discharge of industrial and rainwater into the sanitation network.
