Reduce pollution and effluent charges from your car wash facility
Reduce pollution and effluent charges from your car wash facility by installing a three stage interceptor tank. Installations will prevent drains from blocking with the added advantage of free flowing oil being removed.
The lightweight interceptor tanks are manufactured from sturdy and durable glass reinforced polyester (GRP) which has corrosion proof and rot proof properties. This one piece tank system, ideal for a speedy installation, can be placed in a forecourt or within a washbay and includes manhole covers (26 tonne capacity).
Water Recycling
A water recycling system can be installed, at a later date, to the connections fitted at the time of installing the interceptor tank.
A water recycling systems will present savings in water and effluent charges and has the added advantage of ensuring the car wash can still operate under a hose pipe ban during drought situations.
There are currently three interceptor tank models available with different dimensions, weight and water capacity.

Full retention separators
Full retention separators treat the full flow that can be delivered by the drainage system. The 'full flow' is normally equivalent to the flow generated by a rainfall intensity of 65 mm/hour.
Full retention separators are used where there is a risk of regular contamination with oil and a foreseeable risk of significant spillages e.g. vehicle maintenance areas and retail fuel forecourts.
You need to consider the flow rates of potential spillages delivered to the separator from the drainage system and the oil storage volume of the separator needs to be sufficient to retain the entire spillage.
On large sites, some short-term storage upstream of the separator might be an acceptable means of limiting the flow rate and the size of separator needed. Any surface water stored cannot be pumped through the separator unless the separator is specifically designed to receive pumped inflows and a low-shear, non-emulsifying pump is used.
