Bund Water Control Unit

Product Information

Ideal for manned and unmanned sites. This low maintenance automatic pumping system constantly monitors the contents of the bund. When rainwater fills the sump to a pre-determined level, the pump automatically operates to remove the water to the set minimum level. The unit detects the difference between oil and water and if oil is detected, the bund dewatering pumps ceases and an alarm will sound. Alarm notification via beacon or sounder as well as by gsm, making this ideal for both manned and unmanned sites. The alarms will also sound due to power failure and excessive liquid levels.

For more remote applications, an alert can be transmitted by text message. Alarm warnings allow you time to take corrective action ensuring the safe and economic operation of separators, preventing oil passing through the separator and polluting watercourses which may result in expensive fines and clean up costs.

The alarm system and sensors guarantee an increased level of safety and requires simple installation for bespoke monitoring of oil and petrol separators.

We can tailor your separator alarm to your requirements by displaying your name and contact details on the liquid crystal display and fitting your custom label (please ask for details).
