ACO Light Liquid and Oil Separators

Regardless of whether in multi-storey car parks, petrol stations, car washes or vehicle workshops: Wherever there is a risk of mineral light liquids getting into the drainage network, for example, petrol, benzene, lubricants or oils, the wastewater must be pre-treated. This prevents pollutants from contaminating the drinking water or groundwater. A light-liquid separator or petrol interceptor uses the difference in density of petrol and water to achieve this. The light liquid is collected and is disposed of regularly by recycling companies. Even better treatment is achieved by using a coalescence element, as used by ACO in its units. Light-liquid separators are available for installation in the ground and for freestanding installation.

ACO Separators for below-ground installation

made from polyethylene high-density (PE-HD)

In the case of light-liquid separators for below ground installation, the attachments can be shortened by the customer, depending on the application. The cover is suitable for class B according to EN 124. For increased disposal convenience, the separator can also be retrofitted with direct extraction. Both the sludge catches as well as the actual separators have a maintenance opening. Optionally, alarm systems can be installed.

Features and benefits

All ACO light-liquid PE-HD separators meet the requirements of class EN 858.

Product stability guaranteed for 50 years

Certified statics have been calculated for the tank system
The tank system supplies structural stability for 50 years

Protection against ground water

Depending on the maximum allowed inlet invert and the load class applied, the separators can be installed in areas with groundwater without additional concrete castings

Flexible application

Load class A15
Load class B125
Load class D400

ACO Separators for below-ground installation

made from glass reinforced plastic (GRP)

ACO GRP Oil Separators for the infrastructure

"LIGHT AS PLASTIC, STRONG AS CONCRETE" A lightweight composite material made from glass fibers reinforced with polyester resin binders. The fibers can be obtained from various materials such as carbon, aramid, basalt or glass. Due to their great material properties, fiber-reinforced plastics are used in a wide variety of industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive and shipping. ACO is producing horizontal and vertical separator bodies and ACO Stormclean filters in GRP. More information download here.

ACO Separators for free-standing or below-ground installation

made from lightweight durable thermoplastic polyethylene (PE)

ACO Oil Coalisator for automotive facilities

ACO Separator systems are to be provided behind the drainage points if mineral oils or light liquids, especially those that are flammable or can form an explosive atmosphere, can get into the drainage network. For this purpose, we have developed the Coalizer-P to hold back light liquids of mineral origin from the dirty water.

Features and benefits

All ACO light-liquid PE separators meet the requirements of class EN 858.

For free standing installation
