Oil/Water Separator

The First Flush System is the best solution where petroleum contaminants must be isolated and removed — bus barns, auto maintenance, small parking areas, chemical transfer stations, airports, etc.

Environmentally Sound

As environmental regulations become more stringent, separators are becoming essential in facilities where oil and grease are present in the drainage stream. Our Oil/Water Separator provides static separation of solid debris and free oils or other non-soluble chemicals from drain water before discharge. Unlike others, our Oil/Water Separator is fabricated with a lightweight, easily installed forming system that does not require the use of heavy equipment, providing a cost effective system of unequalled efficiency.

Easy to Install

An EPS form is precut to create a cast-in-place concrete tank. Cut outs in the form locate and position all the pipe connections and form a retainer slot for the insertable full width overflow weir.

The steel angle frame is 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 x 3/16 in. (45 x 45 x 4.5 mm) epoxy coated structural steel with welded anchor studs and no-float leg brackets. The frame rails and no-float legs are attached to form a lightweight, sturdy assembly during installation.

The covers are reinforced diamond plate steel designed for either pedestrian or H-20 heavy duty loading, and include locks for security and safety. The complete assembly includes all internal pipes and fittings.

A secondary geomembrane pit liner is available to provide additional protection against leakage. The liner is polymer coated synthetic fabric combining flexibility and puncture resistance.
