Interceptors, also known as oil, grease, and water separators, are installed in drainage systems to filter out oil, silt, dirt, and other harmful substances from waste water. This helps protect local watercourses from pollution. The separated contaminants are stored in the interceptor tank, which requires regular emptying.
Without regular cleaning, the oily water from vehicle wash activities can accumulate, leading to blockages and inefficiencies over time.
Regular, efficient and effective monitoring and cleaning of interceptors is essential for site operation and compliance.
