Interceptor Emptying
Interceptors are fitted to your drainage system to separate wastewater from oil, silt, dirt and any other harmful contaminants. They are also known as oil, grease and water traps or separators.
You will find interceptor tanks at sites where vehicles may leak fuel and oil onto the ground. For example, fire stations, supermarkets, garage forecourts, car parks, car wash bays, bus depots and industrial yards where vehicle washing takes place.
It is important to regularly empty and clean interceptor to keep your site running efficiently. Over time the run-off from vehicle washing activities builds up, unless you arrange for regular it to be emptied. It also helps avoid costly downtime from the consequences of pollution from surface water or drainage problems that threaten to pollution to the local watercourse.
We can also provide a 24/7 emergency call-out service in the event of any spillages or overflows. Call us to talk to one of our team who will provide support and advice for interceptor cleaning.
We are regularly monitored by SEPA and Scottish Water, which means you can be confident that your waste is being treated and disposed of in an environmentally secure manner.
We have a vast amount of experience in emptying and cleaning interceptors from a variety of locations, including car garages, petrol stations, car washes and retails parks.
Interceptors stop oil, petrol and grease from contaminating drainage systems and local rivers/ streams. It is important to regularly clear out the left over waste, to ensure the interceptor continues to work as intended.
We have a large fleet of modern, high vacuum tankers to complete the job efficiently and effectively.
