Bund Water Control Unit
Product Code: PP/12000
The Darcy bund tector is a low maintenance automatic pumping system that constantly monitors the content of the bund, detects the difference between oil and water and safely pumps the water (rainwater containing less than 5mg of oil per litre) only out of the bund into the surface water drainage system.
No specifications have been added for this product.
Only the retained oil then needs to be removed from the sump significantly reducing the number of visits by waste management companies thus providing significant cost savings, paying for itself in the first year. The bund tector is supplied complete with a control unit, submersible pump, together with a combined pump/probe assembly and a steel mounting stand.
How it works
- The control unit continuously monitors the condition of the connected probe aseembly and the pump is operated when water is detected.
- The current status is displayed on the display located on the front of the unit. If an alarm condition is detected, a warning message is displayed, e.g. failsafe probe activated.
- The unit then gives the option to accept/acknowledge the alarm. Operation will then return to normal providing the fault that caused the alarm has been corrected.
