Industries

Treating run-off water in the industrial sector is essential to prevent environmental pollution and protect aquatic ecosystems. Industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing and plastics generate a wide range of pollutants. If not properly treated, these pollutants can have harmful consequences on surface and groundwater quality, public health and biodiversity.

The importance of treating industrial runoff

Runoff from industrial sites often contains a wide range of contaminants, specific to each sector:

Chemical industry: Toxic chemicals, solvents, hydrocarbons, heavy metals and manufacturing process residues are frequently found.
Pharmaceutical industry: Runoff can contain traces of drugs, volatile organic compounds and active substances.
Plastics industry: Microplastics, resins and other polymers are common pollutants.
Food industry: Water can be laden with organic matter, fats, oils and cleaning products, as well as plastics used for packaging.
Metal industry: the main pollutants are heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc and copper, cutting oils and acids and alkalis.
Textile industry: releases dyes, treatment chemicals such as formaldehyde and microfibers.
Paper industry: uses chlorine-based bleaching chemicals, resins and produces suspended solids.

Hydrocarbon Separators: An Essential Solution

What is an Oil Separator?

An hydrocarbon separator is a device designed to remove hydrocarbons from run-off water. It is particularly relevant for industries where oils, fuels and other petroleum products are present, such as garages, service stations, industrial sites and parking lots.
The hydrocarbon separator uses the difference in density between water and hydrocarbons to separate the two substances. The heavier water flows downwards, while the lighter hydrocarbons rise to the surface. The system is generally equipped with several compartments and filters to ensure effective separation and prevent the dispersion of hydrocarbons.

Obligations and standards

Regulations often require the installation of oil separators for industries handling petroleum products. It’s crucial to check local standards and requirements specific to your sector to ensure compliance. For example, separators often need to be certified to standards such as EN 858.
Trithon Hydrodynamic Separator: Advanced Technology

What is a Trithon Hydrodynamic Separator?

The Trithon Hydrodynamic Separator is an innovative solution for stormwater treatment. It combines natural settling and centrifugal force to effectively trap pollutants. Trithon features include :

Centrifugal settling: Heavy particles are pressed against the system walls and directed into the sludge storage compartment.
Float separation: Light liquids and solids with densities below 0.93 are separated and retained.
Overflow management: Capable of handling flows of up to 125% of the nominal flow rate, it enables peak flows to be managed without compromising treatment quality.
Simplified maintenance: A technical platform provides easy access for inspection and emptying operations.

The installation of run-off water treatment systems, such as Trithon hydrocarbon separators and hydrodynamic separators, is an obligation for many industries. This equipment helps to comply with environmental regulations, protect water resources and ensure the safe, efficient operation of your facilities.
