Andel Hybrid Hydrocarbon Interceptor/Separators

The last line of defence against a pollution incident

Organisations with hardstanding areas have a responsibility to manage surface water runoff effectively. Without adequate protection, there’s a high risk of environmental contamination that can lead to criminal prosecution, substantial fines and costly clean-up operations.

Andel’s underground HDPE hydrocarbon separators, also known as oil interceptors, are a critical defence, capturing oil, fuel and other harmful substances before they enter watercourses via surface drainage systems.

Because of its innovative design and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction, Andel's hybrid interceptor/separator more durable and damage-resistant than traditional GRP alternatives.

The innovative design reduces maintenance costs with no need for component replacement.

Andel Hybrid Hydrocarbon Interceptor/Separators

Built to perform, designed to last

Monolithic HDPE body – Rotationally moulded in a single, rib-reinforced piece for maximum strength and structural integrity.

Chemical and impact resistant – HDPE offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, fuels and mechanical stress – yet remains lightweight for fast, safe handling. Far more durable and damage-resistant than traditional GRP alternatives.

Low-maintenance, cost-efficient – One-piece construction with no internal components to replace means fewer installation issues, minimal servicing, and lower lifetime costs.

Designed and tested in accordance with BS EN 858-1 and 858-2 standards for the separation of light liquids from water

Full retention or bypass options available to suit a variety of site requirements

Andel offers both full retention and bypass separators to suit different site risk levels and drainage requirements.

Bypass models are designed to manage increased flow rates up to 10 times normal levels during storm conditions, making them ideal for lower risk areas or sites with intermittent vehicle use.

Dual-stage hybrid filtration for outstanding performance

Every hybrid separator in the range incorporates a coalescence filter and a secondary module packed with polypropylene rings. This dual-stage system enhances hydrocarbon separation, delivering treated water with discharge levels below 0.1 mg/L – supporting full compliance with strict environmental standards.

After-sales support and maintenance

With over 30 years of experience in separator and drainage system maintenance, Andel provides full aftercare support, including regular inspections in line with Environment Agency PPG3 guidelines.

To further reduce risk between inspections, we strongly recommend installing an integrated alarm system.

Customisable to fit your site

Each model can be paired with a choice of risers (extensions) and manhole cover options, offering flexibility for different installation depths and surface conditions.

From small commercial forecourts to large-scale industrial sites, Andel offers a full range of full retention and bypass hydrocarbon separators – with a variety of capacities and configurations to meet your exact needs.
