PETRO-BARRIER™ PUMP PTB-24 Anti-hydrocarbon filtration pumped system

The PETRO-BARRIER™ PUMP PTB-24 is a system specially invented by SPI^® in the 1990s for easy adaptation to all types of retention tanks and pits. It provides continuous drainage water filtration 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™ PUMP has two separate chambers: one for fluid intake at the top, the other for filtration at the bottom provided by an SPI^® PETRO BARRIER™ anti hydrocarbons filter water cartridge.

Pre-filtration of the inlet water is vital to avoid blocking the PETRO BARRIER too frequently with dust. Pre-filtration takes place at 3 specific points:

• The first, large mesh, is made with a pre-filtration cage around the pump (not included).
• The second, smaller one is done through external pre-filters at the inlet of the PETRO BARRIER™ PUMP
• The third takes place in the internal pre-filtration chamber of the PETRO BARRIER™ PUMP

Description of the PETRO-BARRIER™ PUMP PTB-24:

• Made from rigid PVC with UV protection for extra strength and durability.
• Hydrophobic, oleophilic polymer component: permanently locks in hydrocarbons.
• A 1.5″ pipe at the top for water to enter the intake chamber
• A 4” pipe at the foot of the pump for water drainage
• A 2″ return pipe is used to return contaminated water to the retention tank, preventing excess pressure in the intake chamber. This safety system enables the plant to operate in a closed cycle in the event of a leak, preventing hydrocarbons from being pumped out while a response team seals the leak and cleans the retention tank.
• Supplied with elbows and clamping collars for all pipes, 1 internal pre-filter replacement by default, 1 flow control valve and 1 aluminium pre-filter support structure.
• Length: 110 cm / Diameter: 73 cm / Weight: 70kg
• Approximate filtered flow rate (*): approx. 110 L/min / Approximate saturation (*): 15 L / Recommended change (*): every 5 years

(*) Depending on the conditions of use at each site, depending on the quantity of traces of hydrocarbons filtered by the cartridge, the regularity of maintenance of the tank/pit/prefilters, etc. Conditions of use for which SANERGRID^® and SPI^® cannot make any commitment.

SPI filters have been recognised for over 30 years for their high reliability, extreme robustness and longevity, even in the most difficult conditions: resistance to hot transformer oils (>100°C), water emulsified with dielectric oil, high resistance to ultra-violet rays and thermal amplitudes, eco-designed to reduce the quantity of materials and CO₂ during the manufacturing process.

The pump and pump pre-filtration grille are not included in the standard PETRO BARRIER POMPE PTB-24 pack. Please contact us for further information.
