Product catalog summary
Introduction: The document discusses the use of SPI® Hydrocarbons Removal Filters for managing oil leaks from industrial equipment, particularly immersed power transformers, which can cause significant environmental pollution. The European standard EN 61936-1 mandates retention systems to prevent such pollution.
Environmental Issue: Industrial devices containing hydrocarbons, like transformer oils, pose a risk of soil and water pollution. Retention systems must match the volume of hydrocarbons to prevent leaks, especially when exposed to rainwater.
Technology Overview: SPI filters, developed by Solidification Products International, utilize hydrophobic and oleophilic materials to solidify hydrocarbons and separate them from water. This technology is implemented in products like PETRO PIPE®, PETRO PLUG®, and PETRO BARRIER™.
Filter States:
  • Initial State: Filters are installed at the output of retention volumes, filled with active media.
  • Evacuation State: Water flows through the filter, while hydrocarbons are captured and solidified.
  • Filtration State: Active media captures hydrocarbons, reducing water flow as hydrocarbons accumulate.
  • Sealing State: Excess hydrocarbons cause the filter to seal, preventing contaminated water from escaping.
Pre-Filtration: Essential to prevent mud and impurities from affecting filter performance. Pre-filtration involves grates and foams to block impurities, ensuring efficient hydrocarbon filtration.
Product Range: The document details various SPI filter products, including PETRO PIPE®, PETRO PLUG®, and PETRO BARRIER™, each with specific applications and replacement guidelines.
Applications: SPI filters are used across various sectors, including railways, electrical utilities, transformer manufacturers, petrochemicals, and contractors in Europe, the UK, and Germany.

Hydrocarbons removal filters in water SPI-2

Smart filtration of hydrocarbons in rainwater The Environmental Issue: Many industrial devices such as immersed power transformers contain several thousand litres of transformer oil in their internal cooling or insulation systems. These oils belong to the hydrocarbons classification and may cause severe soil or water pollution in case of leakage. In order to mitigate this pollution risk, such industrial equipment must be paired with retention equipment of a volume at least equal to the volume of hydrocarbons they contain: the full retention principle. The European standard EN 61936-1 (§ 8.6.2.)...

Hydrocarbons removal filters in water SPI-3

In case of hydrocarbons molecules within the water, the active media « activates », capture and solidify locally oil molecules that surrounds itself. Active media, which is not in contact with hydrocarbons, is not activated and water molecules can still flow through. Solidified hydrocarbons lowering free space for water to flow, the outflow decreases according to of the amount of hydrocarbons trapped in the filter. 3- SEALING STATE: Because of a massive hydrocarbons flow in the input of the filter, or a quantity equal to the saturation capacity of the filter, the active media has solidified the...
