Clean rainfall arriving on the catchment when the platform in not is use is directed to stormwater via the Oil/Water Separation System
The risk of “combustible” fuel spillage becomes apparent during fuel transfers
Stormwater discharge to the environment requires @ <5ppm hydrocarbon content = Current Industry Best Practice
Installation of a fuel spill retention and alarm system is required to manage this environmental risk
The accumulated minor spill retention capacity needs to be approx. 600 litres
The system also has the ability to isolate the stormwater discharge in the event of a major fuel spill
The system requires an accumulated spill detection alarm to notify when the collection tanks requires evacuation of the floating layer of hydrocarbons
Typical stormwater Rainfall IFD requires calculation, but will on most cases be <20.0 L/sec
Collection pits or gratings are installed in the catchment pavement, with discharge pipework directed to the below ground collection, treatment and isolation tank.
