Drain Interceptor Emptying & Cleaning
Years of Experience in Complex Drainage Systems
NRC have extensive knowledge and years of experience in complex drainage projects, to provide highly effective drain interceptor emptying, cleaning and maintenance, across the North West and UK.
What Are Drain Interceptors?
Drain interceptors, or drain separators, are oil, grease and water traps installed in drainage systems to capture and separate pollutants, preventing them from entering sewer systems, watercourses and land drains.
Interceptor systems are commonly installed in locations prone to contamination, such as: manufacturing plants, petrol forecourts, fuel depots and areas with high vehicular traffic.
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure proper functionality and to prevent blockages and environmental damage.
Why Do Interceptors Need Emptying & Maintenance?
Interceptor Tank Cleaning, Emptying, Unblocking & Servicing
Over time, interceptors accumulate contaminants like oil or grease. Regular cleaning is required to avoid blockages and overflows, and to improve the longevity of the interceptor itself.
If waste does enter the watercourse or public drainage systems, it can result in legal action, costly fines, and expensive clean up operations.
Proper upkeep maintains the efficiency of an interceptor, extends it’s lifespan, and helps fulfil legal and environmental obligations.
It also prevents a build up of wastewater, debris, and other substances that can lead to malfunctions, damage or discharge of pollutants into public sewer systems and natural waterways.
How Often Do Interceptors Need Emptying & Cleaning?
To prevent ground pollution and ensure safety compliance, interceptor cleaning and maintenance is recommended every 3 to 6 months.
This is general guidance, as the use of interceptor varies on several factors, including the type of facility, the volume of waste processed, and local regulations.
Interceptor Maintenance Services
Interceptor maintenance includes routinely emptying and cleaning the underground interceptor tanks to eliminate the build up of contaminants like oil, petrol, silt, dirt, and debris.
Interceptor Emptying
To remove the accumulated oil and pollutants, usually done using our vacuum tankers equipped with specialised hoses and pumps capable of extracting liquids from the interceptor’s chambers.
Interceptor Cleaning
Our tankers are fitted with high pressure water jets to thoroughly clean interior surfaces of the interceptor to remove any remaining residue and ensure optimal performance.
Interceptor Inspections
After cleaning, the interceptor is inspected and reported on, for any signs of damage, corrosion, or mechanical issues.
