petrol stations

An effective drainage system for a petrol station has to stand heavy vehicles traffic. Drainage soluion must guarantee treatment of the collected surface water in compliance with local requirements and regulations to release the treated water without any danger of environmental pollution. This is guaranteed by ACO light liquid separators, e.g. Oleopater-P or the filter-free Oleosmart-C.

Traffic areas and roads are the transport veins of our society. Especially in connection with the mega trends of drainage - urbanisation, climate change and sustainability - new and smart approaches are required today for handling light liquids.

Light liquids, especially fuels and oils, must never be permitted to enter waterways and soil areas, where they can cause considerable damage to these areas. For this reason, light liquid separators must already be utilised today at various critical locations, such as fuel stations, logistics areas and certain road sections in order to separate fuels and oils.
However, pure separation is usually not sufficient for this purpose. In the event of a rainwater or backflow incident, it must therefore be prevented that fuels can escape from the light liquid separator (refer to EN 858 and DIN 1999-100).

Grease separators are used wherever vegetable or animal fats are added to the wastewater.

According to EN 1825 and DIN 4040-100, companies in which wastewater containing grease is produced or occurs are obliged to install grease separators. This serves to retain fats and oils of organic origin from the wastewater so that the public pipes are protected from harmful and nuisance evaporation, materials and substances. Furthermore, during the planning stage, care must be taken to always ensure that the connection of the separator system to the public sewer system taking the EN 12056, EN 752 and EN 1825 standards into consideration. According to these standards, separators must be protected against backflow by a pump station if their static water level is below the backflow level.
