hydrocarbon separators
hydrocarbon separators
Hydrocarbon separators are essential for treating water contaminated by non-emulsified mineral hydrocarbons before it is discharged into the environment or sewer systems. They are crucial in industrial processes, vehicle washing, and managing rainwater runoff from roads and parking areas. Compliance with regulations, such as NF EN 858-1 and NF EN 858-2, is mandatory to prevent environmental pollution and ensure the proper functioning of treatment plants.
The separators function by allowing contaminated water to enter, where a coalescing system enhances purification efficiency. Sludge traps capture heavy materials, and hydrocarbons are periodically removed. Automatic warning devices are installed to alert when hydrocarbons reach a critical level.
Available in steel, polyethylene, and glass-reinforced polyester, hydrocarbon separators vary in mechanical resistance, ease of installation, and maintenance requirements. By-pass systems are available for areas with a low risk of heavy contamination.
These separators are used in carwash areas, high-pressure washing areas, open-air parking, multi-storey car parks, underground parking, and petrol stations. Each application requires specific configurations and compliance with standards.
SIMOP offers a range of products including sludge traps and custom-made hydrocarbon separators, designed to meet specific standards and operational needs.
Accessories include alarms, junction sleeves, cables for hydro alarms, extensions, and anchoring belts to enhance functionality and safety.
Choosing the right separator involves considering the application type, expected flow rates, and compliance with standards like NF P16-442. Runoff coefficients and rainfall intensity are crucial for determining the appropriate model.
Hydrocarbon separators are available in materials such as painted steel, polyethylene, and polyester, designed to be buried and compliant with CE standards and NF EN858-1. They handle flow rates from 1.5 to 200 liters per second, with varying storage volumes.
Key features include mechanical resistance, ease of maintenance, and quick installation. Some models offer resistance to saline environments and corrosion, equipped with sludge traps to capture suspended matter.
The document emphasizes ease of handling due to lightweight design and lifting rings. Detailed installation, warranty, and maintenance information are available online.

MANAGEMENT OF RUNOFF WATER >>> HYDROCARBON SEPARATORS Generalities Definition Manual washing Automatic washing Gas station Public water network sludge trap Rain sludge trap - Treatment of rainwater that has washed away hydrocarbons from roads, parking lots, factory workshop areas. DID YOU KNOW? Light liquids or hydrocarbons of mineral origin weigh less than water. Their density is lower than 1 g/cm3 and they form a film on the surface that prevents oxygen penetration. In surface waters (rivers, lagoons, streams...), oxygen is essential for bacterias, aquatic animals and plants. An oil spill has...

MANAGEMENT OF RUNOFF WATER >>> HYDROCARBON SEPARATORS Operating principle 4. Access for sludge removal 1. Hydrocarbon loaded water inlet When there is an accumulation of sludge greater than 50% of the volume of the chamber, it must be removed and sent to a treatment facility. Periodically or when the accumulation of hydrocarbons reaches a certain level, they must be extracted for transport to a treatment center. Section 6.5.4 of Regulation 858-1 requires the installation of automatic warning devices (automatic level alarm). If the equipment has a by-pass (2), the excess flow is diverted through...
