Concrete coalescing separator AQUAFIX SK2BP 6-10/0100 with sedimentation chamber and 10-fold by-pass, nominal flow rate 6-10 l/s, max. 100 l/s, sedimentation chamber capacity 1000 l, PE nozzles 3100101P

Protection of Industrial Wastewater in Challenging Conditions

This concrete coalescing separator is a solution dedicated to installations where effective separation of mineral oils and organic fats from rainwater or process water is required. The device, with a nominal flow rate of 6-10 l/s (with a peak flow capacity up to 100 l/s), is ideal for locations with variable flow intensity, such as parking lots, service stations, car washes, or production halls. Thanks to the use of concrete as the primary material, the structure exhibits exceptional resistance to mechanical loads – the cover withstands pressure up to 400 kN, allowing for safe installation under truck roads or in vehicular traffic zones.

Construction and Key System Components

The interior of the device is designed to maximize retention time and separation efficiency. A key element is the built-in sedimentation tank with a capacity of 1000 liters, which collects heavier pollutant fractions before the actual coalescence process. This reduces the risk of clogging filtration sections and extends the interval between services. The system is equipped with polyethylene (PE) nozzles, ensuring leak-tight connections and resistance to chemical corrosion occurring in industrial wastewater.

It is worth noting the flow specifics: the device features a 10-fold bypass, meaning that during sudden, intense flows (e.g., during heavy rain), excess water can be safely discharged without disrupting the separation process in the main chamber. The total height is 2435 mm and the weight is approximately 4720 kg, requiring appropriate equipment for installation but guaranteeing stability in the ground without additional anchoring.

Application and Operating Conditions

The device is designed for outdoor use and meets requirements for wastewater containing both mineral oils (e.g., gasoline, diesel) and organic fats (e.g., kitchen waste). In practice, this means universal application in industry and gastronomy, where protection against various types of liquid pollutants is required.

• The concrete body ensures resistance to static and dynamic loads up to 400 kN.
• A large sediment buffer before cleaning provides a sedimentation tank capacity of 1000 liters.
• The system is protected against sudden heavy rains thanks to the ability to bypass the maximum flow rate of 100 l/s.
• Effective separation covers both mineral oils and organic fats.
• The required excavation depth for installation results from the total device height of 2435 mm.

Installation of this type of separator requires careful preparation of the substrate due to the large mass of the device (over 4 tons). PE nozzles facilitate integration with the existing sewer network, minimizing the risk of leaks at critical connection points. Thanks to the presence of a high-capacity sedimentation tank, service intervals are extended, resulting in lower long-term operating costs. This is a solution for installers seeking durable systems that meet rigorous water protection standards.
