World class filtration specialist Bowman Stor has helped put the rail industry another step closer to environmental targets with its revolutionary SEP60RAIL™ oil/water filtration system.
Until now, rolling stock has been faced with an inherent problem - how do you safely discharge air compressor condensate on the move?
Environmental regulations require the oily water generated by air compressors to be removed and treated to a hydrocarbon limit of less than 20ppm before discharge. Since trains are not able to discharge to drainage systems, untreated condensate is currently discharged onto the track, causing ground contamination.
But this this is all about to change with the arrival of the SEP60RAIL filtration system from SEPURA™. The principle is simple: oily water in; clean water out, with discharge levels of less than 5ppm.
Designed for the efficient, cost-effective removal of hazardous levels of oil contaminated condensate, the compact, lightweight unit has been developed to meet EN45545-2: 2020 R6 HL1 & HL2 rail standards.
Bowman Stor’s Managing Director, Richard Potts believes that SEP60RAIL is a major step forward for the rail sector. “After many years of development, testing and ongoing refinement, we have created a product which finally provides an effective solution for the clean disposal of air compressor discharge for all rail operators on a worldwide basis.”
The UK-based company has been able to draw upon more than 25 years at the leading edge of separation technology, in order to develop a product, specifically for use within the rail industry.
Developed in Bowman’s own laboratories, SEP60RAIL already has an outstanding pedigree as it is effectively an extension to its existing, well established range of separators which are in successful operation across all parts of the globe.
Bowman Stor has an unparalleled reputation for the design and manufacture of world class oil water separators, exemplified by the SEPURA™ range of DIBt approved air compressor condensate filters, enabling businesses to meet their environmental standards with units to suit any industrial compressor installation. Furthermore, only genuine SEPURA-branded products contain the groundbreaking SILEXA™ media - a revolutionary patented media manufactured from recycled bottles.
So SEP60RAIL really is a winning solution for the rail industry with important environmental benefits - a milestone in the journey towards a cleaner future.
