Separators are generally installed as part of a drainage system and are typically underground. They are designed to intercept and retain any hydrocarbons (oils) which have entered the drains and prevent them from reaching the watercourse (rivers). If the Separator accumulates too much oil, this can pass through the Separator and be released to the local watercourses causing a pollution incident, this can result in heavy fines and clean up costs for the person responsible.
In accordance with the Environment Agencys PPG3 guidelines, all Separators must be provided with a robust device to provide visual and audible warning.
Aluline supply a full range of visual and audible warning devices including: standard mains and solar powered alarms as well as mains and solar powered GSM alarm which will send text messages to a mobile phone of your choice. All Aluline Separator Alarms are ATEX approved.
A total of three probes can be fitted in the Separator to automatically monitor oil, silt and liquid levels, notifying immediately when the Separator needs emptying and therefore eliminating unnecessary waste management visits.
Aluline specialises in providing Alarm installation, commissioning and ongoing service for all oil separators. Aluline's comprehensive range of environmental service solutions are carried out by fully trained, experienced engineers and are modelled on the requirements set by the European Standard EN 858-2 and the Environment agencies PPG3 document for oil pollution prevention.
Ideal for new build sites or where mains supply is readily and easily available making installation efficient and cost effective. This unit has an audible alarm and a liquid crystal display and is operated by means of a simple Push Switch. An output relay is provided which allows the use of an external sounder or beacon and can also be connected to your building management system (BMS).
Ideal for retro fitting to existing Separators or on sites where power is not easily accessible. The solar alarm removes the need for digging ducts and laying long cable runs, making installation efficient and cost effective.
The standard system is supplied complete with an intrinsically safe control unit together with a high oil probe and a steel mounting stand.
The control unit is capable of monitoring up to 6 probe units in 2 separator tanks (3 probes per tank), to automatically monitor oil, silt and liquid levels notifying immediately when the Separator needs emptying and therefore eliminating unnecessary waste management visits.
