Axon - Model Basic -Environment Filter

The collecting basin is made of polypropen and HDPE plastic, with a lifetime of at least 100 years. The standard size is 6 x 9 m, with a depth of 0,4 m., creating a total volume of 16 m3. The accumulating volume is 9,5 m3, and the maximum flow 1 litre / second.

The basin is dug down 0,50 to 1,0 m below ground, it should be placed on a 0,1 m sand. The inclination is towards the outflow pipe, which can be connected on any side of the basin. It is filled with 0,1m sand or a protective ground textile sheet. The basin is covered with gravel or any other pervious material.

The filter well has an outer diameter of 0,6-0,8 m and a depth of 1,90 m. It takes 5 filter cassettes with an individual height 0,2 m, each cassette volume is 50 litres. The cassettes have a diameter of 0,575 m and are filled with mechanically treated peat or compost absorbent. The design of the cassettes controls the water flow to allow the absorbent to retain hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants. It is easy to check if the filter cassettes are saturated. Replacing them is an easy task as well.

The connecting pipe, diameter is 110 mm, allowing a flow of 5 litres /second at an inclination of 0.5°. The inlet pipe is connected above the filter cassettes, lower rim is 1,125 m above the base of the well. The outlet pipe is 0,05 m above the base of the well.
 
Tests at Luleå Technical University verify that the water is cleaned to at least 99.3 % of dispersing organic pollutants. This is 1000 times more efficient than a conventional oil separator. None-dispersing solutions are cleaned to 100%. The system is modular and easy to adapt for any demand.
