bund water control unit

The Bund Water Control Unit is a low maintenance automatic pumping system that constantly monitors the contents 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.

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 control unit continuously monitors the condition of the connected probe assembly 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.

Bund Dewatering and Oil Skimming Pump

bund dewatering and oil skimmer

The Darcy Bund Dewatering and Oil Skimming system is a low maintenance automatic pumping system that constantly monitors the contents 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.

If any oil is detected a secondary pump will operate to pump the oil into an IBC positioned within the bund.

The system can notify of bund compliance issues via claxon, beacon, gsm or email notification and is suitable for use in hazardous and non-hazardous zones.

  • When rainwater fills the sump to a pre-determined level the pump automatically operates to remove the water to the set minimum level.
  • If floating oil is present this is automatically pumped from the sump to a recovery tank. Once the recovery tank is full an alarm will sound notifying that the tank requires emptying. The pump will still automatically remove rainwater.
