The SPI®‘s PETRO-PIT® 410 is a filter cartridge for rainwater contaminated with dielectric oils for small and medium-sized 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 the hydrocarbons.
Description
The PETRO-PIT-410 is a cartridge specially invented by SPI® in the 1990’s to be easily adapted to all types of retention tanks and pits. It ensures continuous filtration of drainage water, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it thus prevents any soil pollution in accordance with the EN 858-1 standard 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 it is evacuated“). Our filters are very regularly tested in independent laboratories, new, in half-life condition and after their recommended period of use (see Additional Information tab).
In the event of a major oil spill, the component reacts and forms a plug, preventing any fluid from being released into the environment. It is a self-locking system and operates without any mechanical parts or electrical connections.
