Oil filter cartridge STORM WATER PETRO-BARRIER™

waterdustpolymer

The STORM WATER PETRO-BARRIER™ is a system for filtering large volumes of rainwater contaminated with dielectric oils for large transformer retention tanks and pits. Thanks to its self-locking system, it traps harmful hydrocarbons and thus prevents soil pollution. Its oleophilic and hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps hydrocarbons. Description The STORM WATER PETRO-BARRIER™ is a system specially invented by SPI® in the 1990s for easy adaptation to all types of retention tanks and pits. It provides continuous filtration of drainage water for large volumes, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it therefore prevents soil pollution in accordance with 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). 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. The advantage of STORM WATER over other SPI® products is its design, which includes an integrated by-pass valve: in the event of heavy rain or clogging by sludge, you can access the drain by simply releasing the by-pass valve, thus freeing the fluid, to quickly access the submerged area or the filter clogged by impurities.
