Advanced Liquid Level Monitoring for Oil, Silt & Water in Separator Tanks
The Darcy mains-powered interceptor alarm system is a reliable and efficient solution for monitoring oil separators and interceptor tanks. Equipped with three dedicated probe sensors, this system continuously monitors the levels of oil, silt, and water within the tank.
When liquid levels exceed safe thresholds, the unit activates an audible klaxon or visual beacon alarm, alerting users to take prompt action. This helps ensure environmental compliance and reduces the risk of oil discharge into watercourses, which can lead to costly fines and clean-up efforts.
For remote or unmanned sites, the system can be upgraded to include GSM text alerts, notifying up to 8 users instantly via SMS.
