Spillceptor: Reducing Project Costings for Hydrocarbon Capture on Substations

The Spillceptor is a full retention separator capable of containing major oil spills, perfect for high-risk applications including substations, service stations and transport yards.

Meeting on-site requirements for guaranteed hydrocarbon capture, the robust treatment processes of these two-chamber systems ensure water quality objectives are met. With a 100-year design life, the Spillceptor is a generational asset that meets sustainability objectives for sites across the New Zealand region.

FRP Design: Cost-Benefits to Conventional Devices

Prefabricated in Atlan’s FRP manufacturing facilities, the Spillceptor provides carbon reductions to traditional alternatives – due to its lightweight freight and sustainable production methodology.

Delivered ready-to-install, these devices ensure your project timelines are met and provide installation efficiencies – requiring no on-site fabrication and minimising crane times and lifts.

The Spillceptor is designed to allow for underground installation, which allows the entirety of these units to be placed below site surface, which maximises land-yield. This provides benefits to projects with condensed footprints, and allows spill containment, stormwater treatment and oil separation to occur in one single-piece device.

Key benefits of the Spillceptor’s innovative FRP design compared to conventional alternatives, such as plate separators, include –

Cost-Effective Single-Piece FRP Design

Lightweight & easy to install, the Spillceptor improves project efficiencies through all project phases – including freight, installation and ongoing maintenance.

The Spillceptor is a single-piece dual chamber FRP oil and water separator. With its lightweight design, reduced freight costs and ease of lifting – it helps to expedite installation phases and improve the delivery speeds of project timelines. ​

Reduced On-Site Complexity

Helping to reduce on-site footprint, the two-chamber configuration of the Spillceptor eliminates the need for auxiliary pumps & bunds. Compared to a conventional plate separator, these devices are an all-inclusive asset that removes the need for external infrastructure – which can meet site requirements on constrained sites.

Low Blockage Design

The design of the Spillceptor ensures the revention of device downtime due to fine sediment, dust & pollen. The silt capacity of the first chamber maintains performance without the need for excess cleans, and removes the necessity for immediate maintenance to clear the bund.

Using non-turbulent flow through two horizontal treatment chambers, these innovative devices retain light liquids in all flow conditions.

High-Performance Pollution Removal

Meeting on-site requirements for guaranteed hydrocarbon capture, the robust treatment processes of these two-chamber systems ensure that outgoing hydrocarbon is kept below 5ppm.

With treatable flow rates range from 2LPS to 200LPS, the Spillceptor can be sized to treat your on-site requirements and catchment sizes.

Easy & Safe Maintenance

With zero tank entry requirements, and simple servicing requirements, the Spillceptor ensures lower maintenance costs across the asset’s service life.

The two-chamber design of the Spillceptor provides protection to the coalescer unit from silt and fuel/oil contamination. The silt capacity of the first chamber maintains performance without the need for excess cleans.
