Stormwater management is a critical component of modern infrastructure, ensuring that urban environments effectively handle runoff while protecting the environment. Atlan’s Spillceptor Oil Separator Tanks are designed to tackle the challenges of stormwater pollution, particularly in high-risk areas where hydrocarbons and oils pose a significant threat to local water systems.
Our range of oil separator devices includes the Spillceptor, Flowceptor and Triceptor – which are locally made at our fibreglass manufacturing facilities. Our fibreglass stormwater devices incorporate modular design philosophies, and feature 25-year warranty and 100-year design life.
What is an Oil Separator Tank?
An oil water separator tank is a specialised device engineered to remove oil, grease, and hydrocarbons from stormwater runoff. These tanks are particularly useful in industrial, commercial, and high-traffic areas where light liquids, hydrocarbons and oils are present. They are ideal for hydrocarbon capture and spill mitigation on sites such as –
- Car parks
- Gas stations
- Vehicle service facilities
- Industrial sites
By efficiently separating oils and pollutants from water, these tanks prevent contamination of groundwater, rivers, and oceans, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. These devices can also be used to guarantee hydrocarbon capture for spill containment.
Key Features of Atlan Spillceptor Oil Water Separator Tanks
Spillceptor Tanks are built to deliver unparalleled performance and sustainability. Key features include:
- Advanced Hydrocarbon Removal: Designed to achieve Class 1 separation, these tanks effectively remove up to 99.9% of free oils and hydrocarbons from stormwater.
- High Flow Capacity: Engineered for large-scale applications, Atlan’s tanks handle high flow rates while maintaining efficient pollutant separation.
- Spill Containment: An automatic closure device is specifically designed to contain major oil spills.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured with robust materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions and ensure long service life.
- Low Maintenance Requirements: Equipped with easy-access chambers for routine cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Customisable Configurations: Available in various sizes and configurations, these tanks can be tailored to meet site-specific requirements.
- Environmentally Friendly Design: By preventing pollutants from entering natural water bodies, Atlan’s tanks contribute to a healthier ecosystem.
How Do Oil Separator Tanks Work?
Atlan Spillceptor Oil Water Separator Tanks use a multi-stage process to separate pollutants:
- Initial Sedimentation: Larger particles like sediment and debris settle at the bottom of the tank.
- Oil Separation: Lighter hydrocarbons and oils float to the surface, where they are trapped and stored in a dedicated compartment.
- Water Discharge: Clean water exits the tank through an outlet, ready to be safely discharged into stormwater systems or reused.
