Fat separator operation
Method of operation
The 3 way valve can be driven by its motor to 3 positions. These are Separator Dump, Drain, and Closed.
‘Separator dump’ will permit the water In the separator tank to remain approximately 2/3 full. This is its
normal working position for collecting water throughout the day. Separator Valve will read ‘from weir’ in
this position.
‘Drain’ will drain the separator of water after the fat has been drained away each night.
‘Closed’ position will cause both the separator dump and drain outlets to be closed off, so water intro-
duced through the flood solenoid will cause the water level in the tank to reach the top weir The fat will
run out the fat outlet for a preset period ( typically 300 seconds) The fat will stop flowing once it has
drained from the tank, even though the water will continue flowing through the top weir. Once the fat
Transfer has completed the flood solenoid will be off, the 3 way valve will open to drain. This empties the
tank of water and allows it to drain until use the next day.
