The PETRO-BARRIER™ is a built-in filtration system for large volumes of hydrocarbon-contaminated rainwater for large transformer retention tanks and pits. Thanks to its self-locking system, it traps harmful hydrocarbons and thus prevents soil pollution. Its oleophilic and hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps hydrocarbons. Description The PETRO-BARRIER™ is a system specially invented by SPI® in the 1990s for easy adaptation to all types of retention tanks and pits. It provides continuous filtration of drainage water for large volumes, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it therefore prevents soil pollution in accordance with EN 858-1 and the Water Act, with a discharge rate of less than 5ppm. It also complies with paragraph 471 of NF C13-200 (“All precautions must be taken to ensure that the recovery tank does not fill with water or that water is evacuated“). Our filters are regularly tested in independent laboratories, when new, in half-life conditions and after their recommended period of use (see Additional Information tab). In the event of a major hydrocarbon spill, the component reacts and forms a plug, preventing any fluid from spilling into the environment. It is a self-locking system, operating without any mechanical parts or electrical connections. The PETRO BARRIER™ is a product designed to adapt easily to your pit drains or at the outlet of a remote pit. It consists of a corrugated HDPE pipe that can be extended to the required reference in diameter and depth. The PETRO BARRIER™ sinks or fits vertically at your low point of the contaminated water drain. The PETRO BARRIER™ is thus made up of 3 separate chambers:
