    The document discusses a permanent bund solution to address the issue of rainwater entering bunded areas for oil storage tanks and equipment. The solution uses a system with key components like a probe, control unit, oil pump, water pump, and waste oil storage to separate rainwater from any oils present. This allows the bund area to be managed safely and cost-effectively without building shelters and eliminates the need for expensive heavy engineering typically required. Benefits of the solution include maintaining the bund's capacity while providing a safe, dry work environment with reduced maintenance needs and costs in compliance with relevant legislation and regulations.

    Permanent Bund Solution

    Background
    A bund is essentially an enclosed area that has been designed to hold 110% of the oil
    contained in storage tanks and electrical equipment within its walls.

    In the event that rainwater enters the bunded area the bund’s volume will be reduced and
    given that oil is less dense than water and will therefore float it is entire legitimate to assume
    that left unresolved a bunds will not prevent oil from contaminating the surrounding
    environment.

    Eden Transformer Oil has two products to address this issue, the first is a portable one time
    use filter ‘sock’ to be held in readiness, and the product detailed below for permanent bund
    management

    Solution
    By separating the rainwater from any oils present and then storing the oil for later collection
    and disposal by professional licensed waste carriers, it is possible to manage a bunded area
    in a safe and more cost effective solution than building shelters over the bund area.

    With optional telephony on the control panel the system and waste storage can be monitored
    remotely.

    Excluding the waste oil storage which will be specified according to the source volume, the
    key components measure just 432mm x 328mm x 200mm and 525mm x 200mm x 250mm.

    This means that the need for expensive heavy engineering and plant is eliminated.

    Conclusion.
    The above solution can be summarised in to the following benefits:-
    Safe, dry working environment
    Maintains bund capacity
    Reduce maintenance and management time
    No civil works required for reduced implementation costs
    Suitable for use in hazardous and non-hazardous zones
    Alarm situation relayed from remote locations
    Meets legislative requirements:-
    Oil Storage Regulations 2001
    PPG8: Safe Storage and disposal of used oils
    PPG2: Above Ground Oil Storage Tanks
    ISO 14001: Demonstrate environmental best practice
