HydroProtector is a state-of-the-art oil and hydrocarbon separator certified to Class 1 EN 858 standards.
Designed and constructed with FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) for superior durability, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
Full retention system ensuring no untreated liquids bypass the unit.
Features include a flame trap inlet, automatic closure device, and dual-chamber configuration with coalescer filtration.
Treats stormwater flow rates from 2 l/s to 350 l/s, accommodating various site requirements.
HydroProtector
HydroProtector systems are autonomous and gravity operated, therefore they will function without electricity. They are engineered to meet the European Standard EN858:1: 2002 and have been independently tested for discharge water quality of less than 5mg/l and also achieve percentage removal rates of nitrogen and phosphorus.
All HydroProtector models are independently certified for hydrocarbon spill capture volumes. Hydraulic out to ensure capacity and flowrate accuracy.
The HydroProtector is a full-retention separator that does not allow any liquids to be bypassed, therefore all flows into the unit are treated. The HydroProtector has an incorporated flame trap, an automatic closure device, and a two-chamber design that protects the coalescer that is fitted at the outlet from inundation in the event of a spill. HydroProtector units are manufactured to treat stormwater flow rates from 2 l/s up to 350 l/s with a maximum pipe size of 750mm.
Why install a HydroProtector
Environmental Protection: Effectively removes hydrocarbons, suspended solids, and other pollutants from stormwater.
Compliance: Certified to meet stringent discharge requirements (<5 mg/L of oil in effluent water) as per EN 858 standards.
Durability: Made from FRP, offering resistance to corrosion, weathering, and degradation, even in harsh environments.
Cost Efficiency: Lightweight construction minimizes transport and installation costs.
Step One
FLAME TRAP INLET
The inlet pipe features a flame trap which works by eliminating air from the liquids entering the primary chamber.
Step Two
PRIMARY CHAMBER
The primary chamber of the Stormprotector is designed to slow down and separate pollutants from stormwater runoff, allowing dense particles to settle at the bottom of the chamber and the lighter fluids and deris to rise to the surface while the cleaner water flows into the secondary chamber for further treatment.
Step Three
OIL CAPTURE
Captured hydrocarbons rise to the surface of the storage chamber and are retained behind a weir which stops them from flowing into the secondary chamber without resuspension during high flow events.
Step Four
OIL PROBE CONTROL PANEL AND VAPOUR Y-SEAL
The Stormprotector is easily maintained due to its trash, oiland sludge pumpout access, providing easy and efficient access for regular maintenance and cleaning.
Step Five
SLUGE WEIR (OPTIONAL)
The secondary chamber is fitted with a finely perforated coalescing unit which removes the remaining globules of light liquid to a certified 5mg/l. The coalescing unit is installed on guiderails for ease of installation and maintenance.
Step Six
AUTOMATIC CLOSURE DEVICE
The Stormprotector has a max flow bypass that allows water to discharge freely over the weir during large stormwater inflows to prevent flow restriction.
Step Seven
COALESCER FILTER UNIT
The oil probe and control panel are crucial components in monitoring and maintaining oil spills. The probe detects any oil leaks and sends signals to the control panel, which alerts the maintenance team.
Step Eight
INNOVATIVE RISER DESIGN
The oil probe and control panel are crucial components in monitoring and maintaining oil spills. The probe detects any oil leaks and sends signals to the control panel, which alerts the maintenance team.
