Bund Dewatering Systems

    

Fail-safe automatic pumping systems, which monitors the oil and water interface, and automatically activates to pump out only water.

Keep your bund compliant and reduce disposal costs.

What is a bund:

  • A bund is an enclosure designed to hold at least 110% of the contents of a liquid storage vessel which it surrounds.  Bunds are usually made of concrete, masonry or metail, impermeable to the liquid being stored.

Common problem:

  • Bunds fill with rainwater and potentially oil making them non-compliant

The solution - bund water control units:

  • Safely remove collected rainwater from bunds and leave any contaminants behind 

Regulatory controls

Principles of the regulation

  • PPG*: Safe storage and disposal of used oils
  • PPG2: Above ground oil storage tanks
  • ISO 14001 showing best environmental practice
  • Oil Storage Regulations 2001
  • Failsafe automatic pumping systems that monitor oil and water only pumping out water.
  • To dewater bunds to allow spills from primary vessels to be contained.
  • Maintain bund capacity of 110%

 Benefits of bund water control units:

  • Significantly reduce waste management costs
  • Reduce risk of expensive fines and clean up costs
  • Quick return on investment
  • Reduce disposal costs of contaminated water
  • Low maintenance automated systems
  • Meet legislative requirements
  • Provides a safe and dry working environment for employees 
  • Demonstrate positive action for protecting the environment - achieving ISO 14001
  • Maintains 110% capacity of bund
