PETRO-PIPE® hydrocarbon filter cartridge to be recessed in a case
PETRO-PIPE® filter cartridge for hydrocarbon contaminated rainwater to be recessed, suitable for average water flows of approximately 16 liters/min.
Recognised for its robustness and reliability in industry, it is highly recommended for civil engineering applications, retention tanks, concrete pits, bunds and electrical substations. Preferably installed a 25° angle inclination.
Made out of PVC to ensure better resistance through time, the PIF616 cartridge is specially designed to any type of tank. It ensure filtration of rainwater drainage, wile tripping harmful hydrocarbons: it therefore, forbid any ground contamination.
The PIF616 filter is a cartridge to be recessed PIH716 in PVC (supplied separately, the case is to poured into the concrete before sliding the filter in). It is designed for medium flow rates (16 liters/min), for daily use. It is highly recommended to change the cartridge every 5 years to guaranty its correct solidification properties.
The active media into the filter is a mix of different oleophilic and hydrophobic polymer components which trap definitely hydrocarbons.
During a significant spill of hydrocarbons, the components react form a plug, preventing any fluide from discharging into the environment: the system is self-locking and works whithout mechanical parts, nor electrical connection. In all cases tested, the hydrocarbon concentration in the water at the filter's outlet is less than 5 ppm.
