The SPI®‘s PETRO-PIT® 416 is a cartridge for filtering rainwater contaminated with mineral oils for small and medium-sized transformer retention tanks and pits. Its self-locking system traps harmful hydrocarbons, preventing soil pollution. Its oleophilic and hydrophobic polymer component permanently traps hydrocarbons.
PETRO-PIT-416 is a cartridge 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, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons: it therefore prevents soil pollution in compliance with standard 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.
