PROCEPTOR
OWNER'S MANUAL
1 Proceptor Overview
Congratulations on purchasing a Proceptor separator! Proceptor oil, grease and solids separators are a cost-eective solution,
allowing you to focus on your business, not your wastewater.
1.1 BENEFITS
Drainage and wastewater contaminated with oils, fuels, grease and suspended solids are common in many commercial,
institutional and industrial businesses due to the products produced, used, distributed and/or stored. Increasingly, stringent
environmental regulations require that oil, grease and suspended solids be restricted to certain levels prior to being discharged
into receiving sewer systems.
Proceptor oil, grease and solids separators eectively remove floatables (i.e., free oil, grease) and allow solids to settle,
resulting in reduced and/or eliminated sewer-use surcharges and penalties to end users.
Developed by Zurn Green Turtle, Proceptor separators achieve maximum removal treatment eciency of free oil, grease
and suspended solids from wastewater flows because of its unique hydraulic flow patterns. The controlled hydraulic flow
patterns further ensure captured contaminants will not scour or resuspend. The elliptical design of the unit allows for enhanced
treatment eciency and ease of cleaning. Proceptor is useful as a point-source spill control device. Its fiberglass construction
eliminates corrosion that can lead to soil and/or ground water contamination and costly remediation.
1.2 DESIGN
• Tough reinforced fiberglass construction eliminates corrosion
• Elliptical separation chamber optimizes separation conditions
• Internal piping design eliminates scouring of stored oil, grease and solids
• Sized based on site-specific water flow and usage to ensure superior performance
• Multiple system configurations available for flexibility of installation
• If sized properly, eliminates or reduces sewer use surcharges
• The curved bottom design promotes easy maintenance, including removal of contaminants by vacuum or pump truck
• Lifetime warranty against cracks and leaks
1.3 CONSTRUCTION
The Proceptor tank is equipped with two 3" diameter PVC vent connections (per tank) for venting gases to the outside,
inspection ports and an accessway for regular inspection and maintenance. The contractor installing a Proceptor is required
to provide piping from the vent connections to the venting system. An extension collar located at the center and/or at both
ends of the separator provides access for maintenance. A frame and cover, supported by a concrete slab or similar support
structure, are placed above the extension collar to provide access to the separator.
The standard, single tank separator design includes a bae that creates two chambers in the unit. Note: For designs such as
the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) oil separator tanks, the unit consists of three chambers separated by two baes.
