Cylindrical Hydrocarbon Separator Mel Class II model

These separators have a circular bottom. They are manufactured by simultaneous projection molding of polyester with fiberglass (GRP) and are very economical.

Its dimensions are reduced and its installation is normally done under the floor supported on a flat concrete bed correctly levelled (installation instructions).

Dimensions

BUPOLSA has a range of capabilities standardized by the manufacturing process, in response to the following dimensions:

Functioning

They work from the difference of specific weights between water and hydrocarbon. The operation of the separator is based on the separation by gravity of the materials which are not soluble in water. The heavy particles (sand, mud, …) are deposited on the bottom and light particles rise to the surface of the water. The effluent enters by the intermediate part of the deposit, taking place a loss of velocity of the same that allows first of all a decanting of the solids and in turn a separation of the hydrocarbons which are captured on the surface of the separator. The final effluent is collected in the intermediate part, thus avoiding the possibility of hydrocarbon output.

Maintenance

The equipment is made Polyester with Fiberglass (GRP), so it is insensitive to corrosion and does not require maintenance.

It is recommended to maintain the operation of the equipment every six months and, in addition, it should:

  • Periodically check that the ventilation is not obstructed.
  • Check that the coalescence filter is not blocked. The level of both cameras should be the same.
  • Check that the operation of the automatic obturator is correct and the hydrocarbon discharge does not exist.
  • Remove the surface hydrocarbon layer when it reaches about 10 cm in thickness.
