IMPORTAN : Vehicle washing and maintenance installations typically incorporate the use <br /> of detergents. Chemical emulsions created by detergents will not be removed by enhanced <br /> gravity oil-water separators without chemical pretreatment to break the emulsion. Some <br /> chemical manufacturers sell "quick release" detergents that are designed to create emulsions <br /> during washing operations and then "release" or break the emulsion once the flow velocity <br /> slows down in a properly designed oil-water separator. McTighe catalog maximum flow <br /> ratings may not be appropriate for systems where detergents are used. Contact McTighe if <br /> detergents are going to be used in your system. <br /> D. Transportation Facilities <br /> McTighe oil-water separators are widely incorporated at airports, railroads, gas <br /> stations and other fuel transfer sites. Our separators collect spillage and run-off from fuel <br /> loading operations to prevent discharge to the environment. <br /> F. Spill Protection <br /> On applications where there is the possibility of large oil releases, McTighe separators <br /> can be sized to contain the spill and prevent catastrophic discharges. Bulk fuel storage and <br /> electrical transformer containment areas are a couple of facilities that frequently use McTighe <br /> oil-water separators. In instances where there is a chance that the oil spill volume can exceed <br /> the spill capacity of our separator, the McTighe automatic inlet shut-off valve is widely used. <br /> See Section 6 for more details on the shut-off valve. <br /> Section TA—Rev 6/02—2/2 <br />
