The Importance of Interceptors

Pollution has become one of the major global concerns in present times. It has many forms like Air pollution, Noise Pollution, Water Pollution etc. Due to the increase in global warming, the need to save and utilize water in a healthy way so that it does not get polluted and threatens the ecosystem has become important globally.

Several measures have been taken worldwide to purify the water that merges into the bigger water bodies. Measures are also taken to purify and filter water at the grass-root level like homes, offices etc. Here comes the role of Interceptors.

Interceptor is an instrument used to separate water from any of the contaminants like oil, dirt, silt etc. from the drainage system. The waste that is separated is contained in another chamber in the Interceptor and this waste is called Interceptor Waste.

Interceptors are important because the surface water drains and merges into the local water bodies. If a correct instrument is not installed within the drainage system, this contamination can possess a serious threat. A spill through leaks or accidental spillage can also cause serious threat by causing oil pollution reaching the watercourse. Thus it is important to manage Interceptor Waste by installing correctly designed oil separators that are monitored and maintained regularly.

A separator tank is required if you have-

v  Industrial sites where oil is stored or used.

v  Vehicle maintenance roads.

v  Car parks are large with 50 or more car parking spaces.

v  Areas where goods vehicles are parked.

v  Any other site with the risk of oil contamination.

So if you are looking for a channel to manage your Interceptor Waste, contact Ashwaste Environmental Ltd.

There is a variety of separators like-

Ø  Full Retention Separators

Ø  Bypass Separators

Ø  Forecourt Separators

Ø  Wash-down and Silt Separators

Ø  Septic Tank

A Septic Tank is an underground system made of fiberglass plastic or concrete through which domestic waste flows for basic treatment and the water is separated. They are a type of simple onsite sewage facility where it reduces solids and organics to settle down at the bottom forming sludge while the oil and grease float to the top and is called scum.

There are two types of Septic Tanks-

1.  Single Tank

2.  Multi-Chamber Septic Tank

It is installed in a household or neighbourhood level where drainage is shared for collection and storage and there on the treatment of the wastewater. It has an inlet and outlet pipe. The wastewater from the house flows to the septic tank through the sewer pipe, where the septic tank holds the water long enough to separate solids from liquids. However, these tanks might also get full of solid waste due to which one might witness backups in the toilet or slow draining in the tubs.

A septic tank must be installed at least ten feet away from the house with a correct soil test. A proper survey of the site should be conducted. And then approval and the necessary permits must be acquired. After this, there are certain procedures to install the system.

Ø  Assemble the equipment and tools needed for excavation

Ø  Find the exact place in the building to place the tank

Ø  Excavate a hole large enough to set the tank below the ground.

Ø  Place a washed drain rock around the pipe and cover the pipe after achieving a green tag.
