1GENERAL
1.1 Design parameters
These instructions contain a description of the operation, installation and maintenance
of the EuroPEK Filter oil separator.See separate instructions for the operation,
installation and maintenance of the SET/OMEGA 112 oil alarm, which is included as a
standard in EuroPEK Filter separators.
An optional extra for the SET/OMEGA 112 is the Labcom Data Transferring Unit,
which enables the alarm signal to be automatically forwarded to the person or company
responsible for emptying the separator.
1.2 Important when handling and installing the separator
•The separator must be handled with care and it must be fastened properly for the
transport.
•Immediately after the transport, at the installation site, the separator must be
inspected for any damage that might have occurred during the transport.
•The maximum installation depth of the EuroPEK Filter oil separator, from
ground level to the lower edge of the input sewer, is 2.5 metres. If installed
deeper, the separator should be ordered in a reinforced construction. In this case,
please contact Wavin-Labko / Tanks.
•Anchor the separator to prevent it from floating; this is the buoyancy-effect
caused by the groundwater or the rainwater that pours into the excavation. See
further information in “Instructions for Mounting in the Ground”.
•In the area of heavy and medium weight traffic a traffic compensating slab must
be laid on the separator to equalize the wheel loads. See further information in
“Instructions for Mounting in the Ground”.
2TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Operation
EuroPEK Filter is designed for processing rain waters from open areas. In the oil
separator EuroPEK Filter, both the free and partially the mechanically emulsified oils
are separated from the waste water. The operation of the oil separator is based on
gravitation, the effect of which is intensified by a filter unit. The filling of the oil
storage volume of the separator or the backwater, caused by the blocking of the filter as
the surface level rises, is indicated by an alarm device SET/Omega 112.

2.3 Accessories
2.3.1 Anchoring belts
The tank should be anchored by means of non-stretching polyester belts. The nominal
capacity of the belt is determined by the tank size and the type of ratchets by the
surrounding ground. You will need as many anchoring belts as the separator is long in
metres. In demanding conditions, the security can be enhanced by increasing the amount

EuroPEK Filter -Oil Separator 24BI01ae
WAVIN-LABKO LTD 5
of belts. Instructions for belt dimensioning can be found e.g. on the Wavin-Labko web
pages www.wavin-labko.fi.
In easy corrosion environments (calcareous or sandy soil, gravel, loamy sand, soil layers
above ground water surface which pass air well or relatively well), electroplated zinc
coated ratchets can be used to tighten the belts.
In highly corrosive environments (clayey soil, humus, peat, slag, mud, sulphides,
ground water level fluctuation zones as well as coast areas), stainless ratchets are
recommended.
Tanks of diameter 1 m are anchored by tying the belts tightly onto the lugs on the slab.
The nominal capacity of each belt should in this case be at least 2000 kg. Tanks the
diameter of which exceeds 1 m should always be anchored with belts that are tightened
by means of ratchets. In this case, also the nominal capacity of the belt should be
higher:
-tank diameter 1,4...2,2 m, easy corrosion environments; nominal capacity 4000 kg,
electroplated zinc coated ratchets and hooks,
-tank diameter 1,4...2,2 m, highly corrosive environments; nominal capacity 2500 kg,
stainless ratchets and hooks,
-tank diameter 3,0 m; nominal capacity 4000 kg, stainless ratchets and hooks.
The anchoring belts are available as accessories at Wavin-Labko.
2.3.2 Maintenance shaft
The maintenance shaftsEuroHUK 600 and LM-HUK and the cast iron cover and frame
5…40 t are available as accessories for the oil separator EuroPEK Filter. The gaskets
enable a watertight installation of the maintenance shafts. The type of the maintenance
shaft is selected according to the installation depth of the separator, as presented in the
following table:
Type of the maintenance shaft 9-13 13-17 17-21 21-25
From inlet sewer to ground surface (mm) 900-1300 1300-1700 1700-2100 2100-2500
2.3.3 Cast iron cover and frame
The cast iron coversand frames of the maintenance or sampling shafts are chosen
according to the traffic load above the separator system (5, 25 or 40 t).
2.3.4 Data transferring unit Labcom
The Labcom data transferring unit can be attached to a SET alarm system, e.g. to the
alarm unit SET/Omega. The data transferring unit Labcom enables the alarm, e.g.
indicating the need to empty the oil storage space, to be automatically forwarded to the
person or company responsible for the task.
By using a user name and a password, the customers can read the data concerning their
property on the Internet. The data can also be transferred as an SMS to a GSM phone or
as an e-mail to a computer. The modem and phone line need not be kept open at the end
being monitored.

3INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING IN THE GROUND
These instructions for mounting in the ground apply to standardised oil separator
systems EuroPEK Filter.
3.1 Mounting pit and anchoring slab
1. Excavate a soil area of sufficient size for the separator. The edges of the mounting
pit should be estimated with 0.5 metres of extra space from the surface of the
separator. This reserves the space for the stone free installation sand around the
separator.
2. Compact a 30 cm levelled stone free sand layer on the bottom of the pit.
3. If necessary, cast an anchoring slab or slabs on the sand layer, inserting RST lugs of
min. diameter ∅10 mm to anchor the separator. We recommend that an undivided
anchoring slab is cast for the whole separator system. If several slabs are to be cast,
one must make sure that the slabs will not move as regards to one another, and that
the seams between the slabs will not be under the separator.
The tanks should be anchored in order for the buoyant force of the water in the
ground not to move the tank. A reinforced concrete slab is recommended to be used
as an anchor (figure 2).
An anchoring slab should be cast, if
othe ground water level in the area is higher than the bottom of the separator;
othe water transmission in the ground is weak and the rain water may gather
into the mounting pit of the separator; or
othe bearing capacity of the ground is weak.
Determine the positions of the RST lugs on basis of tank length and the amount and
placement of the anchoring belts before casting the concrete slab. Note! The
positions of the anchoring belts on the tank have not been determined by the
manufacturer. The belts are positioned on the straight part of the tank at even
intervals (ca. 0.8...1 m, at maintenance shafts ca. 1.5 m). Make sure that the belts at
both ends cannot slip off the tank.
Note! The anchoring belts should not be placed over the inlet and outlet sewers!

area where the bearing capacity of the ground is weak
3.2 Installing the separator
1. Compact a min. 20 cm stone free sand layer on the anchoring slab.
2. Set the separator on the layer of sand and pour about 20 cm of water into the
separator to stabilize it.
3. Fix the separator onto the slab by means of non-stretching anchoring belts
If the amount of anchoring belts is insufficient or the belts are not tight enough, the
buoyant force of the water in the soil can cause the separator to surface later on,
when the separator is being emptied.
Fix the anchoring belts round the separator and to the RST lugs on both sides of the
anchoring slab. The belts should preferably be tensioned with appropriate ratchets.
If you order the anchoring belts with the tank, you will receive the necessary
ratchets with the belts. Other appliances are not allowed to be used to tension the
belts, because the belts might get overtensioned, causing damage to the tank.
The recommended way to tension the belts is two-phase: each belt is first tensioned
to a level, where the force of the ratchet starts to increase substantially. In the
second phase, each belt should be tensioned again, starting from the first belt. Make
sure that the ratchets do not press onto the tank surface.
4. Compact the sand layer around the separator with extreme care. Keep compacting
the sand bed around the separator in 20 cm layers. While this work is being done,
keep adding water to the separator to keep it steady.

5. If the system is to be equipped witha EuroNOK sampling shaft including a shut-off
valve, see separate installation instructions for the sampling and shut-off valve shaft
EuroNOK as well as the instructions laminated onto the side of the shaft.
6. Install the inlets and outlets of the separator.
7. Install rubber gaskets onto the bottom edge of the EuroHUK maintenance shaft(s).
Install the EuroHUK maintenance shafts in a vertical position into the installation
frame of the separator. Lock the retaining latches. See figure 3.
Attachthe GRP-maintenance shafts (GRP HUK 600) into the installation frame. Do
not let the gasket slip off its groove. Certain lubricants contribute to an easier
installation of the GRP-maintenance shafts.
8. Install the ventilation pipesonto the ventilation outletson the maintenance shafts.
9. Install the cable protection tube into the cable penetration at the top of the
maintenance shaft. The probe cable should be pulled into the building through the
cable protection tube. Leave enough cable inside the maintenance shaft to lift the
probe on the ground surface for maintenance operations.
10. Continue compacting the sand in 40 cm layers until the ground level is reached.
Avoid the use of heavy vibration when compacting sand layers on top of the tank or
its inlets and outlets.
11. After filling the pit, cut the maintenance shaft in a proper height. Note that the cover
and frame will give about 100 mm extra height for the maintenance shaft.
12. Attach the metal hook for the connection box at the upper edge of the maintenance
shaft. The hook will be positioned between the maintenance shaft and the frame of
the cast iron cover.
13. Set the flange for hanging the alarm probe at edge of the maintenance shaft (See
figure 2). The flange is set at the level next to the oil skimming pipe, in the frame of
the EuroHUK.

14. The metallic filter frames are connected to each other by a grounding wire. The
grounding wire runs on the inner surface of the tank leading to the metal bolt on the

EuroPEK Filter -Oil Separator 24BI01ae

frame of the maintenance shaft. From the bolt the grounding is led via a connector
on the connection box to equipotential ground.
15. Install the frame of the cover and frame assembly on the maintenance shaft. The
frame must not lean against the maintenance shaft, but against the surrounding
compacted layers of sand or a load compensation plate and the asphalt layer laid on
the ground surface.
16. In an area of heavy and medium weight traffic, a load compensation plate and a
layer of asphalt must be laid to equalize the wheel loads. See figure 3, as well as the
instructions on the body of the separator concerning mounting in the ground.

17. Finally, fill the separator completely with water to ensure its effective operation.
Filling with water will also diminish the effect of the groundwater buoyancy.

4MAINTENANCE
Special attention should be given to the maintenance of the oil separator to ensure
effective operation throughout the life span of the system. The need for maintenance
depends on the location and purpose of the system. If the separator system is used to
process waste waters produced at vehicle washing sites or for other purposes where the
separator system is exposed to a degree of solid matter load, its operation should be
monitored and maintenance procedures performed more often than e.g. in systems
which process rain waters gathered from asphalted areas.
4.1 Emptying the oil storage space
1. The oil alarm unit SET/Omega 112 will switch on a signal light when the oil storage
space is full.
2. Drain off the oil layer as the full storage volume is reached, or at least after every six
months. The oil is drained manually through the oil skimming pipe of the separator.
If there are two maintenance shafts in the separator system, the skimming pipe is in
the second shaft. When skimming the oil layer or draining the tank, be careful not to
damage the coalescing units.
3. Set the suction hose of the container truck to the skimming pipe and begin to suck
off the oil layer that has gathered on the surface of the separator. Stop sucking when
the surface of the separator sinks to the lower level of the suction grooves or the
pump starts taking in air. Note! The layer gathered on the surface of the separator is
hazardous waste.
4. The alarm probes must always be cleaned, when oil waste is drained. If necessary,
wash the probes with mild detergent (e.g. dish washing liquid) and set them back in
their places. Also check the operation of the alarm unit and probes, as described in
the installation and operating instruction of the alarm unit.
4.2 Maintenance of the filters
The coalescing 3D filters should be regularly cleaned, at least once in two years, to
prevent their blockage and decrease of the effluent quality. However, if a blocking
alarm is signalled by the SET/Omega 112, cleaning must be done immediately.
1. Start the cleaning by draining the separator completely. Lift the filters straight up
through the maintenance shaft with a hoist or crane. Take out the filters, one at a
time.
2. Clean the filters with tap water using a high pressure washer so that the washing
water flows into the separator. Alternatively, clean the units in a place where the
washing water can be directed to a place where it is processed. Also clean the dirt
from the separator walls.Drain the washing water completely from the separator by
using the suction hose of the container truck before mounting the coalescing units
back.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, the filter may be disassembled into parts. The filter
consists of several slices which are connected by bars inside the centre cavity. The
bars are connected with each other and their upper ends are fixed to the filter lid. On
the lid, there is also a handle for lifting the filter.
4. Open the fixing nuts from the filter lid, disassemble the filter into parts and clean
the parts with a pressure washer. Do not aim a strong dot spray at the filter. Lead the

EuroPEK Filter -Oil Separator 24BI01ae
WAVIN-LABKO LTD 11
washing waters to the separator, but not straight to the outflow connector, or
alternately wash the filter in a place where the dirty washing water can be properly
taken care of.
5. Assemble the filter and install it back into the separator, making sure it is well in its
place.
6. Fill the separator immediately with water to ensure its effective operation from the
very beginning. Also, if the ground water level is high around the separator, filling
will reduce the influence of the buoyant force caused by the ground water.
7. The probes of the SET 112 oil alarm must always be cleaned, when oil waste is
drained or skimmed. If necessary, wash the probes with mild detergent (e.g. dish
washing liquid.
8. It is recommended to keep a service log of all draining and maintenance operations.
All maintenance operations concerning the separator should be entered in this log.
4.3 Maintenance of the separator tank
1. The separator tank should be emptied and its condition checked thoroughly at least
every five years (EN 858 -Separator systems for light liquids). In this case, the
following should be checked: tightness of the system, condition of the body, inner
surfaces of the tank, condition of inner structures, probes and probe cables,
installations and the operation of the alarm system.
2. Drain the separator tank for inspection and remove the filtersfrom the separator.
3. Clean the inside of the tank with tap water by using a high pressure washer. Drain
the cleaning water completely from the separator with the suction hose of the
container truck before checking the tank.
4. Check the tightness of the separator, condition of the separator body, inner surface
of the tank and the condition of inner structures. Also check the condition of the
coalescing unit and its gaskets as well as the alarm probes.
5. Fill the separator immediately with water to ensure its effective operation from the
very beginning. Also, if the ground water level is high around the separator, filling
will reduce the influence of the buoyant force caused by the ground water. The
filling of the separator with clean water after cleaning will restore the operation of
the probes and prevent false alarms.
