New space-saving separator

SITES WITH RESTRICTED SPACE AND ACCESS CAN MITIGATE THE RISK OF HAZARDOUS OIL POLLUTION WITH BOXSEP FROM ADLER & ALLAN
Providing all the features of a normal separator , BoxSep is small in size and easy to transport , making it perfect for areas where space restrictions will not allow for standard separator installation . Its lightweight but robust construction makes for quick and easy installation with no need for extensive underground civil engineering works .
BoxSep delivers a total environmental defence , working in conjunction with Adler &
Allan ’ s JBAR ® flood mitigation system and the bund water control unit to produce a self-contained flood defence system and spill containment solution .
“ Wherever oil is stored or delivered there ’ s a risk of ground contamination and compliance can be an issue on sites where space is restricted ,” explained Alan Scrafton .
“ We are delighted to offer BoxSep as a solution to this problem , allowing the more challenging sites the same high standard of environmental protection as other oil storage facilities .”
BoxSep is produced in two sizes , covering areas of 9m2 and 120m2 , but is also capable of covering larger areas if multiple units are combined . www . adlerandallan . co . uk
