FUEL INTERCEPTORS
PETROL INTERCEPTORS AND SEPARATORS
Petrol interceptors act as traps used to filter out the hydrocarbon pollutants from rainwater runoffs. They are used extensively on garage forecourts to prevent the fuel contamination of streams carrying away the runoff water.
Class 1 Interceptor
Class 1 fuel interceptors have a maximum permissible discharge of oil of 5 mg/l, which are suitable for discharges to sensitive environments. These types of interceptors are often fitted with coalescing filters for finer oil separation.
Class 2 Interceptor
Class 2 interceptors are typically gravity fed, and have a much higher maximum permissible fuel discharge of 100 mg/l. They are less stringent, ideal for areas where the risk of environmental impact is lower.
Our Garage Forecourt Interceptor Services include:
- Installation
- Maintenance
- Repair
- Cleaning
Proper maintenance of the garage forecourt interceptor is required to ensure effectiveness, longevity and compliance with all regulations.
Regular inspections will check for blockages, damage and for build up of sentiment.
The emptying and cleaning of the interceptors will remove any collected oils, hydrocarbons and sediments.
Periodically, the coalescing filters will need to be replaced.
How do they work?
Garage forecourt interceptors are designed to separate the oil, fuel and other hydrocarbons from water before it is discharged into the watercourse or sewer system.
Step 1)
The contaminated water will enter the interceptor. The heavy particles, such as the sediment, will settle at the bottom of the interceptor.
Step 2)
The oil and other lighter hydrocarbons will float to the top due to their relatively lower density. The water will flow through the system.
Step 3)
The filtered water will exit the system, whereas the residual oil and sediment will be collected for proper disposal.
