ACO Q-Ceptor NS6 Full Retention Separator

ACO Q-Ceptor NS6 Full Retention Separator

ACO Q-Ceptor full retention oil separators treat the complete flow caused by rainfall up to 65mm per hour and where there is a high risk of contamination.  These separators hold the contaminated water for a period long enough to ensure that the lighter contaminates separate from the water and rise above it within the separation chamber. Micro particles are collected and combine on the coalescing filter until they are large enough to float free by themselves.

Full retention separators are used for example in vehicle maintenance and refuelling areas or scrapyards.

ACO Q-Ceptors are available in two performance classes as specified by BS EN 858-1:2002.

Class 1 separators are designed to achieve discharge concentrations of less than 5 mg/litre of oil under standard test conditions. These separators are required for discharges to surface water drains and the water environment.

Class 2 separators are designed to achieve discharge concentrations of less than 100 mg/litre of oil under standard test conditions. They are suitable for dealing with discharges where a lower quality requirement applies, for  example where the sewer provider allows discharges to the foul system.

Features:

• Compact design reduces excavation and installation costs
• Highly durable polyethylene body, less prone to damage than GRP units
• Coalescing filter located for simple removal and maintenance. Unit can be cleaned by normal water pressure
• Large diameter opening for easy maintenance access
• Connection for optional sampling pump which obviates the need for separate and expensive sampling chambers
• Extension shaft Ø716mm available

The Environment Agency PPG3 Guidelines require that all oil separators are to be installed with a robust visual and audible warning device to indicate that the chamber needs emptying.
