StormWater Grate Removed for Petro-Barrier™Installation
Solidification Products International’s StormWater Petro-Barriers deliver the quintessential oil-spill containment system for any industrial or municipal setting where hydrocarbons and vegetable oils are stored. These units allow rainwater to flow through them while blocking oil sheen or hydrocarbons from passing.
Oil containment is a challenge for all facilities with storm drains near oil-filled transformers, diesel tanks or vehicle traffic. Increased liability due to small and large oil releases from this equipment reaching drains can result in costly cleanups, so having effective containment solutions is vital. Engineers at Solidification Products International, Inc. (SPI) can design and build custom StormWater Petro-Barriers in any configuration to fit a client’s specific needs.
SPI Petro-Barrier containment solutions install in stormwater drains to prevent oil from entering the drainage system, helping clients meet stormwater pollution prevention plan requirements. These solutions utilize a passive system for filtering rainwater. Once the Petro-Barrier detects a specific amount of sheen, it seals so the oil cannot escape. Our products provide 100% oil containment in the event of a large spill while emphasizing the removal of ongoing low-level oil sheen before discharging the water.
The StormWater Petro-Barrier uses dirt and debris filters to prevent these particles from interfering with the system’s operation and protect the other media layers. Inside the oil spill containment system are three types of media that the stormwater discharge must pass through to reach the drainage system, including:
These filters ensure that clean water enters the drainage system and detected oil and oil sheen are removed from the stormwater and contained. The various levels of filtration prevent oil from escaping and help protect the environment by complying with the required regulations.
For the most effective operation, a facility’s drainage system should direct the water runoff to the stormwater drains so that most of the water reaches the StormWater Petro-Barriers, allowing the products to filter any potentially harmful substances.
SPI’s StormWater Petro-Barrier, Petro-Plug and Petro-Pipe products deliver passive, cost-efficient solutions for oil spill containment, rainwater drainage and oil sheen removal for various applications. Our comprehensive research and development department leads the way in creating some of the industry’s most reliable, innovative and cost-effective solutions.
