Tri-Cel® Wastewater Treatment Systems, by KMG.
A forecourt separator is used in outlets that dispense liquid fuel and/or diesel. A forecourt separator must be a full retention separator, large enough to serve the catchment area of the site and have a sufficient oil storage capacity to retain any foreseeable spillage’s.
It is important to install a forecourt separator of an appropriate size. For example where a tanker size of 7,600 litres or less delivering oil, a separator size 7600 litres will meet requirements of BS EN 858-2 clause 4.3.6.
If a smaller system is proposed, the size should be determined by undertaking risk assessment incorporating catchment size, potential spillages during delivery and other risks such as safety issues. If the compartment size of the tanker that delivers to your site is greater that 7,600 litres, your separator should be sized accordingly.
