HOW DOES AN SPI
PETRO-PLUG WORK?

Petro-plugs are disposable oil barriers that are more effective and less expensive than oil/water separators.

Designed to fit standard piped floor drains in boiler rooms, garages, warehouses, oil storage areas, and switch rooms, the Petro-Plug removes low levels of diesel, gasoline, and oils while allowing water to flow through as usual.

Depending on the drain diameter, Petro-Plugs installed in vertical drains have a flow rate of about 2 to 8 litres per minute. Uncontaminated water drains at approximately 4 litres per minute with standard-sized floor drains.

If an oil spill occurs, the Petro-Plug seals off completely, shutting down any discharge into sewer lines, sump pits, oil/water separators, catch basins, etc., allowing spills to be cleaned up at the source and saving thousands of dollars in cleanup costs and fines.

DRAWINGS AND APPLICATIONS

SPI Petro-Plug Drawings and Applications

The Petro-Plug was designed for indoor applications with a low flow rate of water. The original Petro-Plugs were manufactured fit 100mm floor drains.

These Petro-Plugs have a unique mounting flange design. Only the bottom mounting ring is permanently bonded to the outer diameter of the drain with construction adhesive. The top mounting flange, attached to the Petro-Plug itself, attaches directly to the bottom mounting ring with a proprietary twist-and-lock mechanism.

An O-ring between the two flanges makes a water/oil-tight seal. The Petro-Plug can then be removed without tools in an emergency, then re-inserted to again provide complete oil containment protection and water drainage.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR
OUR PETRO-PLUGS

The 100mm Petro-Plugs are sometimes used in outdoor applications for small containment areas, usually under 18m2. In these applications, it is necessary to install a top hat filter, as shown in the picture below

The top hat filter cleans the rainwater, trapping dirt and debris before it reaches the Petro-Plug

The picture above shows the 100mm Petro-Plugs with a length of 250mm The picture to the right illustrates the flow rate through a 100mm Petro-Plug with 100mm of head pressure at about 3 litres per minute

Potential oil spills in floor drains have been a great concern for schools, hospitals and many buildings throughout the Northeastern United States, where fuel oil is used as the primary heating source

Petro-Plugs are made to fit 100mm floor drains, allowing the water from the boiler to drain, while preventing any oil from escaping in the event of a spill. These pictures show the ease of installation of a typical Petro-Plug.
