Protect the Environment with Pollution Control Devices

Pollution control devices are fitted into many technologies and applications to minimise the effect they have on the environment. Pollution control devices should always be installed and fitted to any equipment that effects the quality of air such as ventilation systems, dust collectors, vacuum cleaners, oxidisers, vehicle engines, exhausts, exchangers that prevents hazardous or dangerous chemicals from being exposed in the air or water. Pollution control devices could include de-watering bund water pollution control devices, oil spill prevention, interceptor / separator tanks or alarms, grease traps and grease monitors, sewage monitoring, drain closure pollution control devices, drain stoppers, wireless monitoring and other pollution control devices. The Environmental Agency have published guidelines to help you understand if your business needs pollution control devices, in what circumstances they are required such as storing oil in above ground tanks, oil spill prevention, i.e. oil separators that separate oil from water and contain the oil until they can be safely removed, maintenance work sites near surface or ground water and other scenarios that may require pollution control devices.

Businesses have a responsibility to the general public and its employees to minimise the impact their business have on the environment. Therefore businesses need to understand what pollution control devices are required for the site and consider all the risks and have contingency plans in place. In particular, businesses that handle or transport dangerous goods or hazardous materials should have pollution control devices fully assessed, maintained and inspected regularly to ensure they are in good full working order. Pollution control devices are essential for the prevention and cure. If you already have pollution control devices or oil spill prevention in place then you may already be prepared to deal with spills or accidents, and should an accidental spill occur you are absolutely confident that no contaminants leave your site, understand how pollutants are removed from your site, and understand how the water and pollutant levels are monitored with the pollution control devices. To ensure rapid response to any spillages, some businesses enlist the help of a 24 hour rapid response team who are fully qualified and trained in dealing with pollution control devices.
