Description THE PROBLEM: Sediment and debris in secondary containment Did you know that sediment and debris are the most common causes of hydrocarbon stop valve failures in secondary containment? Our studies prove that 90% of expensive hydrocarbon filter valve shut-offs are due to plugging from suspended solids – (not from petroleum). In addition, many facilities replace tens of thousands of dollars worth of petroleum filter valves every year because of sediment, not oil. THE SOLUTION: Control sediment and extend the life hydrocarbon stop valves with Silt Trap Socks After studying the problem side-by-side with our clients, we engineered an innovative pre-filter system that extends the life of these oil-water filters. Drainiac® Silt Trap Socks are the first line of defense against sediment and debris contamination. Silt Trap Socks are weighted to stay where you put them Filtering media in Silt Trap Socks stop larger sediment and debris in its tracks, prolonging the life of your Drainiac® Petroleum Filter Valve Use in conjunction with HuskyFlex Pre-Filter Sheets (SPL117) to stop them from blowing in the wind and prevent premature clogging Component of the Drainiac® Pre-Filter System for Above-Ground Containment (SPL118) Learn More: Installation Guide: Five Easy Steps Blog: How to Prevent Secondary Containment System Overflows and Oil Discharges Technology: Harnassing Innovation to Achieve Perfect Stormwater Discharge In the Lab: Drainiac® Petroleum Filter Valves – TOG in Stormwater Test In the Field: Secondary Containment Systems at Bulk Liquid Terminals Regulations: Secondary Containment Systems Download: Drainiac® Installation Guide Drainiac® Inspection and Maintenance Guide Drainiac® Brochure Drainiac® Product Line Catalog Secondary Containment Regs in a Nutshell
