Coalescing separator with sedimentation tank SKPE 03/0300 - 3 l/s, sedimentation tank capacity 300 l, PE - AQUAFIX 10PE 384003

Effective Separation of Oils and Fats in Dewatering Systems

This device is a key component in sewage systems where safe discharge of rainwater or process water saturated with petroleum-based substances is required. Thanks to the application of coalescence technology, the separator effectively separates mineral oils and organic fats from water, preventing contaminants from entering the sewage network or the natural environment. The polyethylene (PE) construction guarantees resistance to corrosion and aggressive chemicals, which is particularly important for long-term operation in harsh atmospheric conditions – the device can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

Application and Operating Conditions

The device's throughput of 3.0 l/s makes it an ideal solution for smaller and medium-sized paved areas, such as car parks, service stations, or small car washes. A key structural element is the sedimentation chamber with a capacity of 300 liters, which collects heavier-than-water solid contaminants (sand, gravel), protecting the actual coalescence module from rapid clogging.

Special attention should be paid to the mechanical strength of the cover – the device is designed for a static load of 400 kN. This means it can be safely installed under roads with heavy traffic or on maneuvering yards, where there is no risk of structural damage due to passing vehicles.

• High-grade polyethylene (PE) ensures full resistance to corrosion and low temperatures, while significantly facilitating transport and installation due to the device's lower weight compared to traditional concrete solutions.
• The cover designed for a 400 kN load allows direct installation under public roads and industrial yards without the need for additional protective frames.
• The 300-liter sedimentation chamber capacity extends service intervals, effectively trapping solid sediments before they enter the oil separation section.
• The device effectively removes both mineral oils (e.g., gasoline) and organic fats, making it a universal component of the dewatering system.

Installation and Operation

Installing the device does not require complex earthworks or specialized concrete foundations, which accelerates infrastructure construction. The polyethylene tank is lightweight (approx. 128 kg), facilitating its transport and positioning even with limited access to heavy machinery. The total system capacity is approximately 1527 liters, ensuring adequate water retention time necessary for effective separation of liquids with different densities.

For installers, the versatility of the installation location is crucial – the device performs equally well in technical manholes inside production halls and underground in external parking areas. Regular emptying of the sedimentation chamber (every 3-6 months depending on traffic intensity) and the coalescence section ensures maintained declared efficiency throughout the operational period. This solution helps avoid administrative penalties for discharging untreated wastewater and ensures stable operation of subsequent dewatering system components.
