Atlantis Double Stage 10,400 Litre Washdown Separator
The Double Stage 10400 Litre Washdown Separator is a high-capacity underground wastewater treatment system designed for gantry wash systems, HGV and truck wash facilities, quarry wheel washes and other high-flow commercial washdown applications. Featuring a two-stage separation process, it provides enhanced removal of silt, sediment, oils and hydrocarbons from contaminated wash water before it enters the foul drainage system.
Manufactured in the UK from high-strength rotationally moulded polyethylene (HDPE), this washdown separator combines exceptional durability with a lightweight construction for easier transportation and installation. Its shallow dig design helps minimise excavation work, making it particularly suitable for sites with restricted installation depths or higher groundwater levels.
With an impressive 10,400-litre capacity and a 100 litres per minute flow rate, this model is designed for demanding commercial and industrial wash facilities where large volumes of contaminated wash water require efficient treatment. The two-stage separation process improves contaminant removal, making it ideal for high-traffic wash bays and heavy-duty vehicle cleaning operations.
How Does a Double Stage Washdown Separator Work?
Wash water first enters the primary chamber, where heavier materials such as mud, grit and silt naturally settle. The partially treated water then flows into a second chamber, providing additional separation of finer sediments and hydrocarbons before cleaner water exits the system.
This two-stage process improves treatment efficiency, making it particularly suitable for commercial sites where higher volumes of contaminated wash water are generated.
