The PETRO-BARRIER™ PTB-C-24 is the internal active material filter cartridge to be inserted into the PETRO-BARRIER™ PUMP for filtering large volumes of dielectric oil-contaminated rainwater for large transformer retention tanks and pits. Thanks to its self-locking system, it traps harmful hydrocarbons, preventing soil pollution. Its oleophilic, hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps hydrocarbons.
Description
The PETRO-BARRIER™ PTB-C-24 is a filter 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 for large volumes, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it thus prevents soil pollution in compliance 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 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.
The PETRO BARRIER™ PTB-C-24 is an internal component of the PETRO-BARRIER™ POMPE-PTB-24. Water is pumped from the sump and sent to the PTB-24 inlet chamber via a hose. The cartridge, located at the bottom, evacuates the water while filtering it, and instantly solidifies in the event of a major leak.
