3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 858-1 as well as the following
term and definition apply.
3.1
cleansing agent
chemical substance which, when combined with light liquids, initially forms an emulsion during cleaning process
that rapidly breaks down in the separator
4 Determination of type and size of separator systems
4.1 General
Separator systems are used in a wide variety of situations to fulfil a number of different requirements. It is important
to establish why a separator system is needed and what specific function it is expected to fulfil before selecting the
appropriate size and type of installation.
Generally, separator systems are installed for one or more of the following reasons:
a) to treat waste water (trade effluent) from industrial processes, vehicle washing, cleansing of oil covered parts
or other sources, e.g. petrol station forecourts;
b) to treat oil contaminated rainwater (run-off) from impervious areas, e.g. car parks, roads, factory yard areas;
c) to retain any spillage of light liquid and to protect the surrounding area.
Where there is no specific sizing method given by a regulatory authority the following guidance on sizing of the
separator system shall be used:
4.2 Components of separator systems, their combination and application
4.2.1 General
The component parts of separator systems complying with EN 858-1 are listed in Table 1.
Table 1 — Components of separator systems
Components Code letter
Sludge trap S
Separator Class II II, II b (for bypass separators)
Separator Class I I, I b (for bypass separators)
Sampling shaft P
Annex B gives guidance on the selection of components to suit particular applications.
4.2.2 Bypass separators
Bypass separators include a device to allow a flow in excess of the maximum permissible flow to bypass the
separator.
4
---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
EN 858-2:2003 (E)
Bypass separators are not suitable for category a) uses (see 4.1). They shall be used only in locations where it is
unlikely that there will be significant hydrocarbon contamination during times of heavy rainfall.
Separator systems shall not surcharge or cause surcharging upstream when subject to their maximum design flow.
4.2.3 Classes of separators
Classes of separators (class I and II) are defined in EN 858-1:2002, clause 4.
Class I separators provide a higher degree of separation than class II separators (see Table B.2 for applications).
4.3 Sizing of separators
4.3.1 General
The sizing of light liquid separators shall be based on the nature and flow rate of the liquids to be treated and will
need to take account of:
maximum flow rate of rain water;
maximum flow rate of waste water (trade effluent);
density of the light liquid;
presence of substances that may impede separation (e.g. detergents).
The sizing does not take into account special operational conditions (see 4.3.8).
The size of the separator shall be calculated from the following formula:
NS = (Q + f ⋅ Q ) f (1)
r x s d
where
NS is the nominal size of the separator;
is the maximum flow rate of rainwater, in l/s;
Q
r
Q is the maximum flow rate of wastewater, in l/s;
s
f is the density factor for the relevant light liquid;
d
f is the impediment factor depending on the nature of the discharge.
x
4.3.2 Factors
4.3.2.1 Impediment factor f
x
The impediment factor f allows for unfavourable separating conditions, e.g. where detergents are present in the
x
wastewater. The minimum recommended impediment factors are listed in Table 2.

components. Additional information is given in annex A.

4.3.2.3 Cleansing agents
Cleansing agent manufacturers shall submit a declaration stating that the product is free from organically combined
halogen compounds or BTX aromas. Only cleansing agents which form temporary stable emulsions with light
liquids and then de-emulsify after the cleaning process should be used. Instructions for use shall also be provided,
together with the effects of mixing with other cleansing agents, particularly regarding the separation process.
4.3.3 Combined drainage of rainwater and wastewater
If a separator is receiving rainwater and wastewater, e.g. from vehicle washing, and the two maximum flows are not
expected to occur simultaneously, then the separator can be sized for the higher flow rate.
4.3.4 Wastewater
The wastewater inflow in accordance with 4.1, case a), shall be calculated as the sum of the contributing flows from
the following formula:
Q = Q + Q + Q +. (2)
s s1 s2 s3
where
Q is the flow from draw-off points, in l/s;
s1
Q is the flow from car washes, in l/s;
s2
6
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
EN 858-2:2003 (E)
Q is the flow from high pressure cleaning units, in l/s.
s3
Any other contributing flow shall be added.
4.3.4.1 Draw-off points
Where it is not possible to determine the maximum flow from draw-off points by measurement, it may be estimated
by using Table 4. Table 4 takes account the probability of the likelihood of all draw-off points, irrespective of size,
being used at the same time. Calculations should be based on the flow rates from the largest draw-off points first.

Example for calculation of Q for 1 DN 15, 1 DN 20 and 2 DN 25 points:
s1
1st point DN 25 = 1,7 l/s;
2nd point DN 25 = 1,7 l/s;
3rd point DN 20 = 0,7 l/s;
4th point DN 15 = 0,25 l/s; Q = 4,35 l/s
s1
In case of supply pressure differing from that stated in footnote 1 of Table 4, the flow from draw-off point shall be
calculated from the following formula:
Q
s1(4bar)
Q = (3)
s1(xbar)
4bar
xbar
where
Q is the flow from draw-off point at a supply pressure of x bar, in l/s;
s1(x bar)
Q is the flow from draw-off point as given in Table 4, in l/s.
s1(4 bar)
4.3.4.2 Automatic car washes (roll-over, drive-through)
Wastewater from low pressure car washes (with a back pressure up to 20 bar) where only carriage bodies and
chassis are cleaned does not usually contain any significant amount of light liquid.
Should there be wastewater from high pressure car washes (with a back pressure higher than 20 bar) and/or any
additional washing procedures which will result in wastewater containing light liquids, then for every car wash place
or drive through a wastewater value Q of 2 l/s plus a wastewater value Q for each high pressure unit in
s2 s3
accordance with 4.3.4.3 shall be included. When the car wash place is multiple used, e. g. for maintenance, for
plants with higher quantities of waste water i. e. without mechanical cleaning devices, the actual quantity of waste
water has to be considered.
7
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
EN 858-2:2003 (E)
A reduction of the wastewater flow rate Q for plants with water recirculation and overflow into a sewer is not
s2
admissible.
4.3.4.3 High pressure units
Irrespective of the effective use of water from a high pressure unit, a wastewater value Q of 2 l/s shall be
s3
considered. If there is more than one high pressure unit an additional 1 l/s shall be included
