Atlantis Double Stage 20,000 Litre Washdown Separator
The Double Stage 20000 Litre Inline 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 inline separation process, it effectively removes silt, sediment, oils and hydrocarbons from contaminated wash water before it is discharged into the foul drainage system.
Manufactured in the UK from high-strength rotationally moulded polyethylene (HDPE), this separator combines exceptional durability with a lightweight construction for easier transportation and installation. Its shallow dig design reduces excavation requirements, making it an excellent choice for sites where installation depth or high groundwater levels are a consideration.
With a substantial 20,000-litre capacity and a 100 litres per minute flow rate, this is one of the largest washdown separators in the range, making it ideal for busy commercial and industrial sites that require reliable treatment of high volumes of contaminated wash water. The inline configuration ensures an efficient flow path while the two-stage separation process maximises contaminant removal and simplifies ongoing maintenance.
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.
