Maintenance; Checking The Coalescence Unit; Oleopator-C-Ost, Oleopator-Bypass-C-Fst - ACO Oleosmart-C-OST Instructions De Service Et De Maintenance

5.1.1 Self-checking by the operator
The scope of the monthly inspection of
the separator by a properly qualified op-
erativen *) includes:
Measuring the thickness and volume of
the layer of light liquid separated out at
the top of the separator
Measuring the height of the sludge
layer in the sludge trap
5.2

Maintenance

The separator must be maintained by
a properly qualified operator every six
months in accordance with the In addition
to the inspection measures carried out
by the operator, it may also be necessary
to carry out the disposal operations if
necessary.
Emptying and cleaning the separator
as required (e.g. if there is a large ac-
cumulation of sludge or if the sludge
has reached its maximum height, or
when 80 % of the maximum oil storage
volume has been reached).

Checking the coalescence unit

5.3.1

Oleopator-C-OST, Oleopator-Bypass-C-FST

Cleaning the coalescence unit
The coalescence unit must be pulled up
above the water level in the separator
using a hoist where necessary. The co-
alescence unit should be held above the
water for a while to allow water to drip off
before removing it completely using the
hoist.
Operating and maintenance instructions
Checking the proper functioning of the
selfactuating closure in the separator
Inspecting any of the alarm systems
which may be present (not until six
months after the general inspection)
The Coalescence unit (type Oleosmart)
is usually kept clean by the flow.
*) see page 21
If the separator has been exclusively used
for
treating rainwater contaminated with
light liquids,
as a safety measure connected to in-
stallations and areas where light liquids
are handled
it may be possible to extend the main-
tenance intervals to a maximum of 12
months depending on the amount of
sludge and light liquids which accumulate
– the decision is up to the owner.
