PROCEPTOR®
TECHNICAL MANUAL
4.5 LEVEL MONITOR FOR DOUBLE WALL OR OIL RESERVOIR
The system uses an ultrasonic level sensor field installed in the interstitial space between the tank walls or within an oil
reservoir at a preset level for cleanout. Once the sensor comes into contact with liquid, it sends a signal through an externally
mounted relay controller and indicator panel, to alert personnel that there is fluid in the interstitial space or a high level within
the oil reservoir.
4.6 AUTOMATIC PUMP-OUT SYSTEM
Proceptor units can be installed with an automatic pump-out system to remove oil from the system once it reaches a
predetermined depth. The system, custom designed for each specific application, involves the use of a level sensor, 1” suction
line (typical), a relay controller, and an electric or pneumatic pump
4.7 SHUTOFF VALVE SYSTEM WITH ALARM
Proceptor separators may be equipped with an actuated shutoff valve. A valve chamber upstream of the separator is the
recommended configuration. By using both a shutoff valve and oil alarm, optimal protection against spills is achieved by
ensuring oil is not discharged into the sewer system. The alarm is configured to automatically close the shutoff valve and stop
flow into the separator when the oil reaches a preset depth within the separator.
4.8 FIBERGLASS PRODUCTS
Large capacity and custom oil separators are available for special applications. To complement its oil and grease separators, Zurn
Green Turtle also manufactures a wide range of fiberglass products including aboveground tanks, holding tanks, emergency spill
holding tanks, surge tanks, catch basins, sump tanks, neutralizing systems, valve chambers, sample chambers and other.

5 Installation and Maintenance
5.1 INSTALLATION
Proceptor separators must be installed in accordance with the provided installation instructions. The installer must ensure that
all Federal, State/Provincial, and local codes such as the National Fire Code, Municipal Building and/or Plumbing codes and
municipal pretreatment sewer-use regulations are followed.
Refer to Drawings: Installation Section for detailed installation procedures, and drawings.
5.2 MAINTENANCE
Proceptor separators have no moving parts and are constructed of materials that are non-reactive in their intended
environment. Regularly scheduled removal of captured materials and cleaning of the internal surfaces are the only forms of
maintenance required.
If the Proceptor installed at your facility contains a coalescing filter, it will be necessary for the filter to be removed and
pressure washed whenever the Proceptor is pumped out or if testing indicates noncompliance with local effluent standards.
See Owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
If the Proceptor contains an oil draw off pipe, it may need to be adjusted post-installation based on the operating conditions, in
order to capture the oil and not the water. The maximum normal operating flow/water level in the tank will govern the setting.
See the Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions.
