ACO Oleopator P is designed to be easy to operate with minimal intervention required.
4.1 ENTERING THE SEPARATOR
All relevant local accident prevention
regulations must be strictly observed
when entering a separator. There is no
need to enter a separator for regular
maintenance.
Size NS 3 to NS 10 Separators can be
entered via maintenance shaft located
above the float cage. The following steps
ensure easy accessibility:
1. Clean out separator sludge/oils.
2.
Remove the coalescence unit (Class I
separators only).
3.
Remove the float.
4. Pull the float cage from the holder
and remove it (if possible).
The separator can now be entered.
Once all work has been carried out,
ensure original condition of separator is
reinstated:
1.
Place the float cage back in the holder
(taking care to properly align pins in
the cage).
2.
Replace float after the separator has
been filled.
3.
Install the coalescence unit (Class I
separators only).
4.2 OIL/SLUDGE LEVEL SENSORS
An optional alarm system makes
operation easier and ensures compliance
with UL2215. It does not replace visual
maintenance but ensures timely disposal
of oil and/or sludge to guarantee
continued operation of the system.
Sensors will signal when:
Oil has reached 80% maximum
capacity (once oil reaches 100%
capacity the float will sink and close
the outlet pipe)
Sludge has reached 50% maximum
capacity (once sludge reaches 100%
capacity the inlet pipe will become
blocked)
When liquids in the separator reach a
specific level, alarm indicates that the
outlet pipe is blocked
When any of these events occur a signal
is sent to the building management
system which can send out audio, visual
and SMS alerts to ensure maintenance
can be carried out before the separator
system fails.
