Bund Water Control Unit and Oil Skimmer

Product Information

For a significant reduction in waste disposal costs select our bund dewatering and oil skimming pump.  Ideal for both manned and unmanned sites, the bund dewatering and oil skimming pump system continuously monitor the condition of the bund, displaying the current status on the control panel. The unit operates in two ways:

When rainwater fills the sump to a pre-determined level the pump automatically operates to remove non-contaminated water (rainwater containing less than 1ppm of oil per litre) out of the bund into the surface water drainage system.

If floating oil is present this is automatically pumped from the sump to a separate holding tank within the bund.  Once the recovery tank is full an alarm will sound notifying that the tank requires emptying. The pump will still automatically remove rainwater.
