The PETRO-PLUG® is a rainwater filter cartridge contaminated with dielectric oils, fixed vertically in a pipe, for transformers’ retention tanks and pits on small and medium-sized. Its self-locking system traps harmful hydrocarbons, preventing soil pollution. Its oleophilic and hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps hydrocarbons.
Description
The PETRO-PLUG is a cartridge specially invented by SPI® for easy adaptation to all types of retention tanks and pits. It provides continuous filtration of drainage water, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it therefore prevents soil pollution in compliance with standard EN 858-1 and the Water Act, with a discharge rate of less than 5ppm. It also complies with paragraph 471 of NF C13-200 (“All precautions must be taken to ensure that the recovery tank does not fill with water or that water is evacuated“). Our filters are regularly tested in independent laboratories, when new, in half-life conditions and after their recommended period of use (see Additional Information tab).
This patented system is ideal for pipes and manholes, and is easy to use, allowing it to be adapted to any pipe for vertical use in the direction of flow.
In the event of a major hydrocarbon spill, the component reacts and forms a plug, preventing any fluid from spilling into the environment. It is a self-locking system, operating without any mechanical parts or electrical connections.
Description of the PETRO PLUG® :
Made from rigid PVC with UV protection for extra strength and durability.
Hydrophobic, oleophilic polymer component: permanently locks in hydrocarbons.
Supplied with a fixing ring, O-ring and a lifting ring for mounting.
