Pollution prevention is a critical part of sustainable drainage systems. Oil separators are designed to protect the environment and prevent pollution of our rivers, streams and oceans by containing hydrocarbons, such as diesel and engine oil, that have entered the stormwater drainage network.

There are statutory regulations in force to control the discharge of hydrocarbons with severe penalties imposed for non compliance. The environment agency’s PPG3 guidelines are issued to enable you to comply fully with the current legislation on environmental protection.

CubicM3 provides a range of oil separators that conform to both the Environment Agency’s latest PPG3 guidelines and European standard BSEN-858-1-2 and are proven to separate oil and water.

Separators have two classes:

Class 1 – designed to achieve a concentration of less than 5mg/l of oil under standard test conditions. These separators are required for discharges to surface water drains and the water environment.

Class 2 – designed to achieve a concentration of less than 100mg/l oil under standard test conditions. Class 2 are suitable for dealing with discharges where a low quality requirement applies such as discharges to foul sewers.

Both classes can be produced as Full Retention, Bypass or Forecourt Separators.
