PETRO-PIPE PIF-616 is a mineral-oil contaminated rainwater filter cartridge to be inserted in its PIH-716 housing and embedded in the manholes of concrete retention pits on medium-sized transformers. Its self-locking system traps noxious particles, preventing soil pollution. Its oleophilic, hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps mineral oils.
Description
SANERGRID‘s PETRO-PIPE PIF-616 is a cartridge specially invented by SPI® in the 1990s for easy adaptation to all types of retention tanks and pits. It ensures continuous filtration of drainage water, while trapping harmful mineral oils: it thus prevents soil pollution in compliance with EN 858-1 and the French 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 service life (see Additional Information tab).
In the event of a major oil spill, the component reacts to form a plug, preventing any fluid from entering the environment. It’s a self-locking system, operating without mechanical parts or electrical connections.
