Atlantis Single Stage 2600 Litre Washdown Separator
The Single Stage 2600 Litre Washdown Separator is a robust underground wastewater treatment system designed for commercial vehicle wash bays and car wash facilities. Engineered to separate silt, sediment, oils and hydrocarbons from contaminated wash water, it helps protect the drainage network by reducing pollutants before they enter the foul drain.
Manufactured in the UK from high-strength rotationally moulded polyethylene (HDPE), the separator offers excellent durability while remaining lightweight for easier handling and installation. Its shallow dig design reduces excavation requirements, making it particularly suitable for sites where installation depth is limited or groundwater levels are higher.
With a larger 2,600-litre capacity and increased flow rate, this model is ideal for businesses with higher wash water volumes, providing reliable performance for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Large access openings also allow for straightforward inspection, emptying and routine maintenance.
How Does a Single Stage Washdown Separator Work?
Contaminated wash water flows into the separator where heavier materials such as mud, grit and silt naturally settle within the chamber. Oils and hydrocarbons separate from the water and are retained before cleaner water exits the system.
This simple but effective process helps reduce the amount of contamination entering the drainage network while protecting downstream pipework from excessive sediment build-up.
