    What are The Purpose of Oil interceptors

    The main purpose of an oil interceptor trap is to prevent oil, fuel or other contaminants from making their way into the sewerage system. They perform an essential service by controlling contaminants like oil or petrol and a range of other pollutants and stopping them entering the main sewer line.

    Typically, oil interceptors are found on the forecourts of petrol stations, car dealerships or other commercial or industrial sites where there is an abundance of oil or petrol. Regular oil interceptor cleaning is essential to ensure that it continues to function efficiently and keep all contaminants out of the sewerage system.

    How Does an oil Interceptor Work?

    Oil interceptors usually consist of three chambers. When any contaminated water makes its way into the first chamber, any oil in there will slowly make its way to the top. This allows the cleaner water to be moved onto the next chamber, leaving just the oil residues behind.  These chambers are fitted with a vent which allows any build up of vapour to be released. The process is completed when the oil-free water goes through into a storm drain or other outlet.

    Are There Different Types of Oil Interceptor 

    There are two main types of oil interceptor which are: 

    • A Full Retention Interceptor 
    • A Bypass interceptor 

    A Full Retention Interceptor will normally be situated in areas where surface water run off is at at risk of regular contamination from oil or petrol or in areas where larger spills are likely. These can include vehicle maintenance areas, garage forecourts or HGV parking areas. 

    You would normally have a  Bypass Interceptor where the main issue is infrequent light contamination of surface water run off. Places that regularly instal;l bypass interceptors include  car parks, airports, industrial estates, roads and other low risk areas.
