4.1 ALARM
The alarm is an electronic monitoring system designed to trigger a visual and audible alarm when a preset level of oil or grease
is reached within the treatment chamber. The feature acts as a safeguard against spills caused by exceeding the oil/grease
storage capacity of the separator and eliminates the need for manual inspection.
4.2 COALESCING FILTER
for Small Diameter Oil Globules (>20 μm)
Coalescing elements cause fine free oil droplets to agglomerate into larger droplets, thus enhancing gravity separation.
According to Stokes’ Law, the rise velocity of a droplet of oil is directly proportional to the square of its diameter. Coalescers
will not remove chemically emulsified or dissolved oil. Solids must be separated prior to entry into the coalescer since solids
tend to plug coalescing filters quickly. The addition of a coalescer within the separator can allow for a reduction in the
required sizing of the separator. For sizing information for Proceptor oil separators with coalescers refer to Section 0. (Not
recommended where soaps are present in wastewater). Not for food grease applications.
4.3 SUCTION PIPE FOR INDOOR INSTALLATIONS
A suction pipe is used when remote tank cleanout is desired. Internal piping allows the system to be maintained if a servicing
vehicle logistically cannot access the top of the tank. The schedule pipe extends to the bottom of the separator to permit for
all liquid and solid waste to be suctioned out. This piping is to be plumbed to an exterior wall allowing for a pumping truck to
attach to the wall port instead of opening the frame and cover for traditional servicing.
4.4 DOUBLE WALL
Proceptor separators can be supplied with a secondary wall made from durable fiberglass for added protection against leaks.
