EUROHEK SAND AND SLUDGE SEPARATOR
General
These instructions cover the installation, operation and maintenance of EuroHEK
sand and sludge separator. EuroHEK is used general before oil separator in oil
separator systems. Separate instructions include installation, operation and
maintenance of sludge alarm unit which is available as accessory for the
separator. An optional extra for the sludge alarm unit is the data transferring unit,
which enables the alarm signal to be automatically forwarded to the person or
company responsible for emptying the sand and sludge separator.
According to EN 858 standard (System for light liquids), the oil separator system
includes EuroHEK® sand and sludge separator, EuroPEK® I-class oil separator,
and EuroNOK® sampling shaft. Separate instructions include installation,
operation and maintenance of EuroPEK oil separator and EuroNOK Sampling
shaft.
1.2
Important to know about the sand and sludge separator
To ensure the best possible operation of the sand separator, read carefully
through these instructions of operation, installation and maintenance. During the
installation, pay special attention on the details mentioned below to guarantee
safe working conditions and separator function.
Handle the tank with care. Do not roll it or drop it.
Fasten the tank carefully for the transportation to avoid any damage.
Inspect the tank immediately after the transport to the installation site for any
damage that might have occurred during the transport.
Installation depth of the tank is 0.9 - 2.5 m measured from the bottom of inlet pipe
to the ground level
Anchor the tank to prevent it from floating; this is the buoyancy-effect caused by
the groundwater or the rainwater that pours into the excavation.
For filling the pit it is recommended to use sieved gravel of grain size 3-16 mm.
In the area of heavy and medium weight traffic must be laid a traffic compensating
slab on the tank to equalize the wheel loads.
During filling of the mounting pit it is forbidden to drive with excavator closer to tank
than 1.5 m measured from the edges and ends of the tank.
Fill the tank with water immediately after installation and emptying.
To ensure reliable and proper functioning of the separator, certain inspection and
maintenance operations must be carried out. Regular maintenance plays a key
role in the best possible purifying efficiency.
Mark the location of the tank e.g. to property’s maintenance manual (e.g. map or
the description of the location).
Entering to the tank is allowed only if all the local safety regulations are obeyed.
(e.g. measuring oxygen content, using of safety equipment etc.).
Smoking and open fire are strictly forbidden.
To avoid accidents, the tank lid must always be closed and locked! It is always the
property owner who is responsible for preventing anything from falling into the tank
(children, animals, etc.)!
1.3
Handling of the separator
Handle the tank with care. The tank can’t be rolled or dropped. Fasten the tank
properly for the transportation. Lift the tank with belts only from lifting eye bolts or
circulate belts properly around the tank if forklift truck can’t be used. Avoid
sudden moves when lifting the tank to ensure belts won’t slip. Inspect the well

2 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1
Operation
In the EuroHEK sand and sludge separator the solid matter is separated from the
waste water. The operation of the separator is based upon gravitation: the solid
particles, heavier than water, settle at the bottom of the tank. The tank is
desludged by a suction hose of a container truck through a maintenance shaft.

Anchoring belts
The tank should be anchored in order for the buoyant force of the water in the
ground not to move the tank. The tank must be anchored using non-stretching
polyester belts. The nominal capacity of the belt is determined by the tank size,
and the type of the tensioning device is determined by the surrounding soil.
Anchoring of the tanks is guided in chapter 3.
In easy corrosion environments (calcareous or sandy soil, gravel, loamy sand,
soil layers above ground water surface which pass air well or relatively well), can
be used anchoring belts with electroplated zinc coated ratchets and hooks.
In highly corrosive environments (clayey soil, humus, peat, slag, mud, sulphides,
groundwater level fluctuation zones as well as coast areas), should be used
anchoring belts with stainless ratchets and hooks.

3.1
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING IN THE GROUND
Mounting pit, anchoring slab and anchoring belts
1 Excavate a mounting pit of sufficient size for the tank. The edges of the mounting
pit must exceed both sides and the ends of the tank by at least 0.5 m, allowing
enough space for the stone-free sieved gravel around the tank.
2 Compact a horizontally levelled, 30 cm stone-free sieved gravel layer on the
bottom of the pit. For filling the pit it is recommended to use sieved gravel of grain
size 3-16 mm. If gravel is not available it is possible to use sand as long as it
doesn’t behave like quick sand. Sand must be “locked” in place with walls or
more robust ground. Gravel or stones bigger than grain size 16 mm may not be
located next to the tank.
The tanks should be anchored in order for the buoyant force of the water in the
ground not to move the tank. We recommend a reinforced concrete slab to be
used as an anchor. Anchoring slab should be cast if
the ground water level in the area is higher than the bottom of the tank
the water transmission in the ground is weak, and the rain water may gather
into the mounting pit of the tank
the bearing capacity of the ground is weak
3 If necessary, cast an anchoring slab (or anchoring slabs) on the sieved gravel
layer, and insert the necessary amount of stainless steel lugs of min. 10 mm
into the slab to anchor the tank. We recommend that an undivided anchoring slab
be cast for the whole separator system. If several slabs are to be cast, one must
make sure that the slabs will not move as regards to one another, and that the
seams between the slabs will not be under the tank.
Determine the positions of the stainless steel lugs on basis of tank length and the
amount and placement of the anchoring belts before casting the concrete slab.
Note! The manufacturer has not determined the positions of the anchoring belts
on the tank. The belts are positioned on the straight part of the tank at even
intervals (ca. 0.8...1 m, at maintenance shafts ca. 1.5 m). Make sure that the
belts at both ends cannot slip off the tank.
The anchoring belts should not be placed over the inlet and outlet sewers!

Figure 4. Anchoring the tank in an area influenced by ground water or in an area
where the bearing capacity of the ground is weak.
Installation of the separator
1. Compact a min. 20 cm stone-free sieved gravel layer on the anchoring slab.
2. Lift the tank on the layer and pour about 30 cm of water into the tank to stabilize
it.
3. Anchor the tank onto the slab by means of non-stretching anchoring belts. If the
amount of anchoring belts is insufficient, or the belts are not tensioned properly,
the buoyant force of the water in the soil can bring the tank to surface later on,
when the tank is being emptied. The anchoring belt is pulled over the tank, and
fixed to the stainless steel lugs in the slab on both sides of the tank. The belts
should preferably be tensioned with appropriate ratchets. If you order the
anchoring belts with the tank, you will receive the necessary ratchets with the
belts. Other appliances are not allowed to be used to tension the belts, because
the belts might get over-tensioned, causing damage to the tank. The
recommended way to tension the belts is two-phase: each belt is first tensioned
to a level, where the force of the ratchet starts to increase substantially. In the
second phase, each belt should be tensioned again, starting from the first belt,
and tensioning is done as mentioned above. Make sure that the ratchets do not
press onto the tank surface.
4. Compact the layer next to the skids of the tank with extreme care. Keep
compacting the sieved gravel in about 20 cm layers. While this work is being
done, keep adding water to the tank.
5. Install the inlets and outlets of the tank and fill the tank with water to the level of
the outlet sewer.

10. Continue compacting the sieved gravel in 20 cm layers. Avoid the use of heavy
vibration when compacting layers on top of the tank and on the inlets and outlets.
Fill the pit up to the ground level.

11. After filling the pit, cut the maintenance shafts to the proper height. Note that the
cover and frame will give about 100-150 mm extra height to the maintenance
shaft.
12. Install the frame of the cover and frame set on the maintenance shaft. The frame
must not lean against the maintenance shaft, but against the surrounding
compacted layers of sieved gravel, the load compensation plate, or the asphalt
layer laid on the ground surface.
13. In an area of heavy and medium weight traffic, a load compensation plate made
of reinforced concrete, and a layer of asphalt must be laid to equalize the wheel
loads. See Figure 7 and the instructions on the body of the tank concerning
installation in the ground.

Frost insulation
The separator must be installed in a way it won’t freeze.
The required frost insulation depends on the installation depth of the sewers and
local circumstances. However, it is recommended to always construct frost
protection in area where frost may exist. Frost insulation should be done with
insulation plates. Dimensioning of the plate’s thickness and width is casespecific.

MAINTENANCE
Special attention should be given to the maintenance of the sand and sludge
separator to ensure effective operation throughout the life span of the system.
The need for maintenance depends on the location and purpose of the system.
For example in systems which treat rain waters gathered from asphalted areas
requires less observation and maintenance than systems at vehicle washing sites
or for other purposes where the separator system is exposed to a high content of
solids.
It is recommended to keep a service log of all draining and maintenance
operations. All maintenance operations and error situations concerning the
separator should be entered in this log. An example of service log is
demonstrated in chapter 5.
Check-up maintenance
Check the condition of the separator at least every six months and clean the dirt
from the walls with water. Also measure the thickness of the sludge bed
regularly.
Emptying the sand and sludge storage space
The sand and sludge separator should be emptied when 1/3 of the total volume of
the separator has been reached or at least once a year. Or if sludge alarm unit
has been installed, it gives a signal light when the storage space is full.
Drain off the storage space manually. Set the suction hose of the container truck
through the maintenance shaft and begin to suck off the sand and sludge layer
from the bottom of the tank. Note that water shouldn’t flow to the separator during
emptying.
Clean the dirt from the walls with a high pressure washer after draining. Check
also the condition of the sand and sludge trap. Right after finishing the service, fill
the tank completely with water to ensure the new starting up of the cleaning
process. In areas of high ground water level, the filling with water reduces the
buoyancy effect, too.
The probe of the alarm unit must always be cleaned and checked when
desludging the tank and in connection with the annual maintenance procedures.
Lift the probe carefully to ground surface through the maintenance shaft, in way
that the cable won’t expand and the probe won’t be damaged. If necessary, wash
the probe with mild detergent (e.g. dish washing liquid) and a brush and set it
back to its place. Also check that oil alarm unit and probe are operating properly.
Maintenance of the separator
Empty the separator for inspection at least once in five years. Clean the inside
constructions with a high pressure washer. Drain the cleaning water completely
from the separator with the suction hose of the container truck before checking
the tank.
Check the tightness of the separator, condition of the separator body, inner
surfaces of the tank and condition of inner structures. Also check the condition
and installations of the probe and the probe cables and that the alarm unit is
operating properly.
Fill the separator with water immediately after cleaning and inspecting to ensure
its effective operation from the very beginning. Filling will also reduce the
influence of the buoyant force caused by the ground water, if the ground water
level is high around the separator

which empties the content of the separator from the bottom. Suction pipe (DN80)
is available as an accessory to the separator.
5.2.7.
5.3
IMUBOX and TUPLAIMUBOX connection boxes
The easiest way to empty the separator is to use the IMUBOX fast coupling
connection box available as an accessory. When the separator is installed
indoors, the IMUBOX connection box is installed on a outside wall easily
accessible for the emptying vehicle.
Installation
EuroHEK SL sand and sludge separators are designed for indoor installation (on
or under the floor)
- Place the separator properly on an even base. Make sure the floor is strong
enough and that the room temperature will be at least 5°C at the separator
installation site.
To make maintenance easier it is recommended to have a warm water tap with
hose coupling in close vicinity of the separator. This makes it possible to use
warm water to dissolve and remove grease and solids from the separator walls
and bottom when servicing the separator
