\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes. Because the concentration and volume of hydrocarbon runoff differ site by site, each site requires a different level of oil and water separation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Class 1 separators, such as the Spillceptor<\/a>, are specifically engineered to address full flow conditions at high-risk sites. At these sites, there are higher hydrocarbon volumes, which increases the chances of contamination or a spill.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThese Class 1 separators are capable of addressing high-flow stormwater runoff levels and oil spill circumstances. They also help mitigate risk in the event of a fire because on-site hydrocarbons are captured and stored securely where they can\u2019t come into contact with ignition sources.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition, the Spillceptor and some other Class 1 units feature a probe system that sends key functionality and operations data to site staff or a maintenance team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In medium to low-risk areas and sites, though, a bypass separator such as Atlan\u2019s Ecoceptor<\/a> and Flowceptor<\/a> may suffice. These areas present less hydrocarbon runoff and lower oil concentrations for separation. Examples include car parks and airports.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
