What is the difference between Class 1 & Class 2 Interceptors or Separators?
We still have a few more questions to answer as regards Petrol/Oil Interceptors (Separators), next up; What is the difference between a Class 1 and Class 2 Separator?
Petrol/Oil Separator:
Another word used to describe an interceptor.
Class 1 Interceptor:
Designed to achieve a concentration of 5 mg/l of petrol/oil at discharge under normal conditions, includes a coalescer. A Class 1 Interceptor is usually required for discharge to any surface water.
Class 2 Interceptor:
Designed to achieve a concentration of 100 mg/l of petrol/oil at discharge under normal conditions. Normally used when discharge is to a foul sewer.
