Water protection

Solution for water protection

Wherever water-polluting media can contaminate water and soil, strict requirements apply by law, ordinance and regulations. They specify the type and scope of protective measures required.

When handling water-polluting liquids, the complete protection of water bodies must be ensured. A comprehensive set of regulations standardizes this area of responsibility in all its eventualities. Any operation of facilities for the storage, filling and transfer (LAU facilities) and for the production, treatment and use (HBV facilities) of substances hazardous to water is affected.

One product for retaining water-polluting liquids in LAU systems is the NeutraSab safety containment basin. It consists of an earth-filled reinforced concrete tank which, depending on the water-polluting liquid, is given a suitable configuration of the components used to ensure chemical resistance. A through-pipe with overflow nozzle and a butterfly valve with swivel drive are integrated. It closes the flow pipe before a filling or transfer process so that the water-polluting liquid flows into the collection basin via the overflow nozzle in the event of an accident. In normal operation, on the other hand, rainwater flows unhindered into the waste water sewer if it accumulates on the storage, filling or handling area.

Three variants are available for sealing the inner surface of NeutraSab, depending on the requirements of the water-polluting liquid: in addition to a dissipative coating in accordance with WHG System 2, internal sealing with PE or stainless steel is also possible. The pipe is then made of PE, PP or stainless steel as appropriate. It thus offers chemical resistance to a large number of water-critical media. The butterfly valve can be equipped with electric or pneumatic automatic switching, and a float switch is used for liquid detection. ATEX test certificates are available for all electrical equipment. If required, a completely conductive version of the built-in parts is possible. The control unit is housed in a splash-proof control cabinet. Tom Kionka / dsc
