Steel coalescing separator AQUAFIX SKG2BP 45 with sedimentation chamber and 10-fold by-pass, nominal flow 45 l/s, max 450 l/s, sedimentation capacity 5310 l, steel nozzles 184045

Oil separation solution for demanding load conditions

This steel coalescing separator is a heavy-duty industrial component of the sewage infrastructure, designed for outdoor installation. Its primary function is the effective separation of mineral oils from wastewater, which is critical in locations such as gas stations, car washes, and production halls. The device features a large sludge tank capacity of 5310 liters, enabling efficient sediment accumulation and flow deceleration, thereby increasing the time available for separation. This ensures a more precise cleaning process and minimizes the risk of contaminants entering downstream sections of the system.

The all-steel construction provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand high mechanical loads. The device cover is rated for loads of up to 400 kN, meaning it can be safely installed under truck roads or maneuvering yards without risk of structural damage. The total height of the unit is 2150 mm, and its weight reaches 3800 kg, underscoring its robust build and the necessity of using lifting equipment during installation. The connection nozzles are also made of steel, ensuring material consistency throughout the system and facilitating connection to main pipelines.

The device is equipped with a specialized 10-fold bypass (emergency flow) system. This is a key feature for installations with significant flow fluctuations. Under normal conditions, the separator operates at a nominal flow rate of 45 l/s. However, in emergency situations, such as during heavy rainfall or system failure, the unit can handle a maximum flow of up to 450 l/s. This mechanism protects the installation from flooding and damage due to excess water by directing it directly downstream, bypassing the separation chambers during critical moments. It should be noted, however, that this model is not intended for the separation of organic fats—its function is limited exclusively to mineral oils.

Key operational and installation aspects

• High mechanical resistance: A cover load rating of 400 kN allows installation in areas with heavy transport traffic (e.g., internal factory roads).
• Large sludge tank capacity: A capacity of 5310 l extends the intervals between sludge cleaning services, resulting in lower facility maintenance costs.
• Emergency system: The 10-fold bypass (up to 450 l/s) protects the installation from overload during sudden hydrological or technological events.
• Construction material: The entirely steel construction (basin and nozzles) eliminates the risk of cracks typical of concrete or plastics under high dynamic loads.

Installation of this device requires careful foundation preparation and consideration of its significant mass (3800 kg). Due to its outdoor application and high load resistance, it is a solution dedicated to industrial facilities and road infrastructure, where reliability is paramount while maintaining environmental protection standards against oil spills. The inability to separate organic fats means that in cases of mixed wastewater containing both kitchen and oil-based contaminants, an additional device or a different model with appropriate certification will be required.
