Cartridge Recycling and
Replacement
SPELFilter cartridges can be swapped out for new
cartridges. The spent SPELFilter cartridges can be
collected from site and sent to SPEL Stormwater’s
facilities – where the spent media will be removed
from the cartridge in factory conditions and disposed
of in accordance with environmental regulations.
The SPELFilter cartridge will be recharged with new
media – thereby recycling and repurposing the
cartridge.
SPEL Filter replacement procedures may vary
depending on the configuration of the SPEL Filters,
the type of vault and engineers’ specs. Replacement
instructions for manhole SPEL Filter systems and
precast vault SPEL Filter systems are contained in this
section.
At the completion of a standard inspection, SPEL Filter
replacement may be deemed necessary immediately
or scheduled for a future date. Steps undertaken
for cartridge replacement should be in general
accordance with the procedure outlined below but not
limited.
1. Implement Pre-start safety measures.
Ensure that the area in which operational works are to
be carried out is cordoned off, to prevent unauthorised
access. Adequate safety barriers must be erected.
Area in which work is to be carried out must be clean,
safe and hazard free.
2. Set-up Gantry Tri-pod above Manhole.
Assemble and position the gantry above the manhole
safely and as practically as possible. Attach the winch
or chain block to the gantry for lifting the SPEL Filters.
Perform safety procedures ie. Attach harnesses etc. (if
confined space).
3. Open manhole lid.
Once you have sent up the Gantry and ensured that
the area is safe to operate in, you can proceed to open
the manhole lid, using lid lifters.
4. Conduct Gas tests. (If tank is classed
confined space)
Once the lids have been removed to a safe distance
to prevent tripping, you must then proceed to conduct
gas tests. Perform necessary gas tests according to
the confined space regulations.
5. Once confined space has been deemed safe to
operate in, enter tank safely.
Once you have carried out the required gas test and
the work area is deemed safe, you may then enter the
pit via a ladder or winch system to assess the work
area you will be operating in. Ensure all confined space
procedures are followed.
6. Remove exhausted cartridges.
Disconnect all internal pipe work from inside the vault.
Un-bolt anti-floatation measures and remove cartridges
from the vault using Gantry Tri-pod method.
7. Pollutant removal.
Using a wet/dry vacuum or sucker truck, suck out all
the residual pollutant from the vault.
8. Install pipework and SPEL Filters.
Please refer to the below standard install diagrams
for the SPEL Filters. Then refer to your site specific
drawings, as site requirements may require something
different to the standard layout. Lower filters into tank,
position into place, connect filter outlet pipework with
the supplied fittings.
9. Install anti–floatation system.
Please refer to the detailed drawings showing how the
Anti – Floatation (Anchor) bars are to be installed.
10. Sign off and forward a copy of the report to
property manager and SPEL representative.
