  API Retrofit Kits

Whether you desire to retrofit an existing concrete vault, need assistance for a cast-in-place concrete unit, or are in need of design assistance for a custom separator for a specific application, Facet has the expertise and know-how to get the job done.  And, we guarantee your effluent quality based on your influent conditions!

Facet’s retrofit kits are custom designed to fit existing concrete vaults, or “API pits” as they are commonly called.   Retrofitting these vaults with our proprietary MPak coalescing plates creates an efficient oil/water separator with oil discharges typically less than 10 PPM.  The performance is guaranteed by Facet’s patented sizing program, the “MPak Quality Prediction Program” that predicts the quality of water by analyzing the influent design conditions.


Typical API Separator.

We begin by reviewing the influent design parameters.  These parameters are then loaded into the sizing program in order to determine the amount of coalescing plates and the configuration required.  The configuration depends on the design of the existing separator or concrete “API pit.”  
Facet also offers design assistance for cast-in-place concrete oil/water separators.  Facet’s application engineers will provide the internal design dimensions and locations for the oil dam, weirs, etc., based on information supplied by the customer.   Once the design is determined, Facet will provide a drawing detailing internal dimensions, along with a complete breakdown of MPaks and mounting hardware to be supplied.  A typical installation drawing detailing the proper installation of the retrofit kit will also be supplied.
