Tri-Cel® Wastewater Treatment Systems, by KMG.
Bypass separators fully treat all flows, for the area served, generally by rainfall up to a speed of 6.5mm per hour. They are used when it is considered an acceptable risk not to provide full treatment for high flow, for example where the risk of spillage is low such as car parks. They are not suitable where there is a risk of a large spillage. However, there is one exception to this, in road areas where it is impossible to predict the size and type of spillage.
In area’s where there is likely to be a large quantity of silt entering the separator, the build up of silt must not be allowed to compromise the operation of separator or the bypass device. In these situations an adequately sized silt separation chamber should be installed upstream of the bypass separator and appropriate monitoring programmes should be put in place to oversee the operation and remove silt when necessary.
