Bund Water Control Unit || PQ-025G
Bund Water Control Unit || SKU: 1000549 || MPN: PQ-025G || Brand: Darcy
A bund is a secondary containment enclosure constructed around oil (or chemical) storage facilities to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating watercourses. The effectiveness of bunds relies on their watertight design, which leads to the accumulation of rainwater. This rainwater becomes tainted due to everyday drips from the storage facility. It is crucial to remove this polluted rainwater in an environmentally responsible manner to maintain the bund's full capacity for containing significant spills and to prevent oil pollution incidents.
Aquasentry's Bund Water Control Unit serves as a de-watering system designed for areas where rainwater mixed with oil residues can accumulate. This innovative system operates by detecting the distinction between oil and water, then efficiently pumps out the water into the surface water drainage system or a designated soak away area. It achieves a remarkable water removal rate of 145 litres per minute, resulting in a discharge rate of less than 5mg of oil per litre (equivalent to 5 parts per million). This exceptional performance makes the Bund Water Control Unit both safe and highly effective for its intended purpose.
Using conductivity probes, the unit determines the liquid's composition within the sump and triggers the pump to initiate water removal. Once all water is eliminated and only oil remains, the pump automatically stops. This process contributes to cost-effective and efficient waste disposal while safeguarding the bund from deterioration.
Operating tirelessly 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, the unit maintains your bunded area in optimal condition, ensuring it remains dry and free from oil contamination. These units find application in various scenarios, ranging from sub stations and oil bunds to underground lift shafts. They are also adaptable for use within zoned areas.
With the Aquasentry Bund Water Control Unit, your bunds consistently retain their specified 110% capacity, as outlined in PPG 2 regulations. This cutting-edge solution offers a cost-effective approach to de-watering, establishing a best practice standard for the environmental management of your bunded areas.
Key Features:
- Automated bund dewatering
- Alarm activation
- Continuous automatic monitoring
- Preservation of bund capacity
- Alert for potential pollution incidents
- Suitable for remote locations

Silt Probe || PP/14220
Silt Probe || SKU: 1000550 || MPN: PP/14220 || Brand: Darcy
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE STEEL SILT PROBE ONLY
This steel silt probe can be used with both the mains and solar-powered Darcy separator/interceptor alarm system. The probe comes with a 5m flylead and automatically monitors silt levels, notifying immediately when the separator requires emptying.
The alarm system and sensor guarantees an increased level of safety on site, and requires simple installation for bespoke monitoring of separators.
Too much silt in a separator tank reduces its storage capacity and therefore increases the risk of a pollution incident. The Darcy Silt Probe is simply suspended within the separator tank to a depth required to detect the maximum amount of silt allowed.
The Opto Switch Sensor consists of a gallium arsenide infra-red emitting diode coupled with a silicon photo darlington in a plastic housing. The packaging system is designed to optimise the mechanical resolution, coupling efficiency, ambient light rejection, cost and reliability. The gap in the housing provides a means of interrupting the signal with opaque materials such as sand, silt, mud, sludge etc, therefore switching the output from an “ON” to an “OFF” state.
Benefits
- Warns of excessive levels of silt within the separator
- Alerts you when the separator requires emptying
- Reduces site waste-management costs and ongoing servicing costs
- Complies with EN858-1&2 and PPG3
- Can be fitted to interceptors from all manufacturers (particularly suited to Klargester and Conder)
- Ensures safe and economic operation of interceptors
- Stainless/nylon probe housing 38mm dia.
- Opto Switch sensor device
- 5 metres of cable (standard)
- Flexible strain relief cable gland
High Level Probe || PP/14011
High Level Probe || SKU: 1000551 || MPN: PP/14011 || Brand: Darcy
The High Level Liquid Probe is designed to monitor for excessive liquid levels within tanks, separators, washdown units and cesspools.
The sensor uses a simple float switch design, which when triggered, will send an alarm signal back to the control panel.
12mm High Oil Probe || PP/14205
12mm High Oil Probe || SKU: 1000552 || MPN: PP/14205 || Brand: Darcy
Mainly employed in oil separators, the 12mm diameter High Oil Probe is specifically engineered to identify the existence of oil or water. It triggers an alarm solely in cases of substantial oil presence. The alarm activation threshold, which signifies the oil depth permissible within a tank, is influenced by the probe's positioning below the static liquid level.
Battery Powered Separator Alarm || PQ-065
Battery Powered Separator Alarm || SKU: 1000553 || MPN: PQ-065 || Brand: Darcy
Designed for new construction sites or retrofitting onto existing separators without easy access to a mains supply, the Universal Tank Alarm set offers an efficient and cost-effective installation option. With no external power source required, the setup process becomes streamlined.
