PFB Pre-filtration box for PETRO PIPE® cartridge

Description

SANERGRID‘s PETRO-PIPE-PFB is a pre-filtration cage that fits all cartridges in the SPI^® PETRO PIPE^® range. Invented by SPI^®, it completes the filtration system of PETRO-PIPE filters, which fit easily onto all types of retention tanks and pits. It helps to ensure continuous filtration of drainage water, while trapping harmful hydrocarbons. It prevents soil pollution in compliance 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 and pre-filters are regularly tested in independent laboratories, when new, in half-life conditions and after their recommended period of use (see Additional Information tab).

Pre-filtration is essential to limit the risk of PETRO PIPE cartridges clogging up due to dust in the water.

SPI is the inventor of the external pre-filtration grid systems or PFB™ (ref. PFB-0810, PFB-1012, PFB-1224 etc.), developed in the 90s, which allow you to change only the active cartridge without having to change the whole system: only the filter cartridge needs to be changed when it is saturated, you can change the internal and external pre-filters. Quick and easy to access, this system of pre-filtration grids also reduces maintenance of the internal pre-filters. The PFB™ internal pre-filtration foams are cleanable and refillable on site.

Description of PETRO PIPE PFB:

• Aluminium cage design
• Composed of several foams and geotextiles: a black reinforced filter sheet and a layer of white filter foam to block dust in the water.
• A set of metal brackets is supplied to fix the cage to the concrete wall.
• Service life of internal components: approx. 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.

For over 30 years, SPI filters have been recognized for their high reliability, extreme robustness and longevity, even under 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, etc. SPI has ISO 9001 quality certification for its production process, and has integrated an eco-design approach aimed at reducing the amount of material and CO2 used during the manufacturing process.
