Oil / Water Separators
| Separators fall into three categories, and two classes. Class 1 and 2. In the interest of clarity, Synergy will always quote a Class 1 separator c/w Silt storage capacity in all cases, unless expressly asked not to do so by the client. |

Bypass SeparatorsAre used in hard standing areas where there is a light risk of hydrocarbon contamination to the surface water run off, i.e. Car Parks, Roadways, Industrial Estates, Goods Yards etc. These units are designed to treat the influent up to the design nominal size of the Separator. Excess flows over and above this, are allowed to ‘bypass’ the oil retention chamber, ensuring the stored pollutants remain within the separator. A standard range of sixteen models are available from: - NSB3, draining an area of 1,667 M2 through to: - NSB 100, draining an area of 55,556 M2. Larger models up to NSB 1000 are also available to order. |

Full retention SeparatorsUnlike the Bypass Separators, these units treat 100% of the flow. They are used where there is a foreseeable risk of oil/hydrocarbon pollution. Such as:-vehicle maintenance areas, fuel dispensing points, oil depots etc. The range of Full Retention Separators’ extends to fourteen standard models from an NS4 draining 222 M2, through to NS100 draining an area of 5,556 M2. The Class 1 Full Retention Separators, have silt storage capacity, a coalescing filter, and Automatic Closure Device, this is to prevent any stored pollutants being discharged from the separator. |

|
Forecourt SeparatorsSimilar in design to the Full Retention separators, only with a minimum volume of 10,000litres. This is to provide sufficient storage capacity to contain the entire contents of a road delivery tanker compartment (7600litres). |
 |
|
| NB. The separators offered by Synergy have been independently tested and are fully compliant with Environment Agency PPG3 guidelines. Please be aware it is not legal to install a separator that does not fully comply with the required standards. | ||
AlarmsPPG3 requires all Separator Installations to have a visual and audible alarm fitted. This is to advise when the oil level in the separator reaches 90% of the storage volume. Mains and solar powered alarms are available, as is a GSM model. This unit will send a signal to a mobile phone number of your choosing. |
