Italian term or phrase: Disoleatori NS

I'm trying to find out what the abbreviation NS means. Here's the text:

Nella pratica corrente, le acque di prima pioggia vengono separate da quelle successive (seconda pioggia) e rilanciate all’unità di trattamento (Disoleatori NS ) tramite un bacino di accumulo interrato di capacità tale da contenere tutta la quantità di acque meteoriche di dilavamento risultante dai primi 5mm di pioggia caduta sulla superficie scolante di pertinenza dell’impianto.

It seems to be a unit of some sort; i.e., the oil separator has a size of "NS". But I'm not really sure.
Thanks.

Explanation:
A suggestion.

NS è la taglia nominale del separatore (...)
La taglia nominale NS è un numero, espresso in unità, approssimativamente equivalente alla portata massima effluente in litri/sec del separatore sottoposto al test di cui al paragrafo 8.3.3. della EN. Una volta calcolato l'NS attraverso la formula si richiederà al fornitore un impianto avente la taglia nominale più vicina. Per es. un separatore di classe II con NS 20 nelle condizioni del test rilascia un effluente con concentrazioni inferiori ai 100 mg/l su una portata di 20 l/sec.

Sounds reasonable. I ended up leaving it as is but reversed the order: NS oil separators.
