Oil Spill Risk Management
The Oil Stop Valve protects waterways from oil or petroleum spills. The passive spill stop valve detects accumulations of oil and activates a valve that positively stops the flow of stormwater and oil upstream from the valve.
Benefits of the Oil Stop Valve:
- Uses existing storm drains and pipes as secondary containment
- Modular manhole design is simple to install
- Requires no electrical power to operate, and only periodic inspection is required
- Durable materals, designed for 25+ years
- Use as a standalone structure or in conjunction with an upstream oil/water separator
- No operator adjustment or monitoring needed
- Virtually maintenance free
