A hydrocarbon separator removes hydrocarbons (derivatives of crude oil) from wastewater. In the following circumstances the installation of a hydrocarbon separator may be necessary:
In places where work is done on vehicles
On car parks
In petrol stations, car-washes, …
If the wastewater is discharged into surface water, or into an artificial drainage systems of rainwater, a coalescence filter can be obligatory following local or notional legislation. The volume of the hydrocarbon separator depends on the flow rate discharged.

For hydrocarbon separators we can offer two types with sediment collector:
Built-in mud trap: this type has a built-in partition allowing the first compartment to function as a sediment collector (KAS).
Built-in mud trap: in this case a tank is installed before the hydrocarbon separator. The big advantage is that the installation is easier and quicker than the installation with a built-in mud trap. (KAAS).
All our separators come with a riser the height of which can be adjusted and with an opening for ventilation.
