ACO Q-Ceptor NSB3 Bypass Oil Separator

ACO Q-Ceptor NSB3 Bypass Oil Separator

ACO Q-Ceptor bypass separators fully treat all flows generated by rainfall rates of up to 6.5mm/hr. Flows above this level deemed “high flows” are allowed to bypass the separator. These separators are used when it is considered an acceptable risk not to fully treat these high flows, typically in areas where there is a small risk of spillage such as short stay car parks.

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.
