Materials designed to soak up liquids, particularly water leaks, spills of oil, fuel, or chemicals, to prevent environmental contamination and ensure safety.
An alarm system certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX directives), ensuring safety in environments where flammable gases, mists, vapours, or combustible dusts may be present.
The strategic placement of containment booms, typically floating barriers, to control and prevent the spread of liquid spills (e.g., oil, fuel) on water or permeable surfaces.
A credit awarded under the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM), a leading sustainability assessment method for buildings. Such credits are gained by meeting specific environmental performance criteria, potentially including effective water management or pollution control.
A computer-based control system installed in buildings that monitors and manages the building's mechanical and electrical equipment, such as ventilation, lighting, power, fire systems, and security, often integrating data from various sensors.
The total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide.
A seminar approved by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), indicating that the content meets their professional standards and contributes to the continuing professional development (CPD) of attendees in the building services industry.
Small, localised sensors designed to detect the presence of liquids (e.g., water, oil) at a specific point, often used for leak detection in critical areas.
A requirement for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), referring to the ongoing learning and development activities professionals undertake to maintain and enhance their skills and knowledge in their field.
CARC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) units are essential for maintaining the precise temperature and humidity levels required for optimal operation of IT equipment in data centres and server rooms.
A comprehensive inspection of drainage systems, often using CCTV cameras, to identify blockages, damage, or other issues within the pipes.
The process of identifying and accurately charting the path and connections of underground drainage pipes, often crucial for maintenance, repairs, or new construction.
The collection and analysis of water samples from drainage systems to monitor water quality, detect pollutants, or identify the source of contamination.
Refers to Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG) previously issued by the Environment Agency (in England), specifically PPG3 concerning “Use and design of oil separators”. While these specific guidelines have been withdrawn and replaced by GPPs (Guidance for Pollution Prevention), the principle remains relevant for best practices in pollution control.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) are a set of criteria used to evaluate a company's performance and impact on sustainability and ethical practices, often considered by investors.
Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) is a type of biodiesel that can be problematic for fuel systems if not properly managed, as it can absorb water and promote microbial growth, leading to fuel degradation.
The process of removing impurities, contaminants, and particulate matter from fuel to protect engines and fuel systems from damage and ensure optimal performance.
A comprehensive fuel cleaning process that circulates fuel through a series of filters and conditioning systems to remove water, sediment, and microbial contamination, restoring fuel to optimal quality.
The process of identifying and pinpointing the escape of gases from pipes, fittings, or equipment, crucial for safety and preventing environmental hazards.
Wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, excluding water from toilets. It can often be safely reused for irrigation or other non-potable purposes after treatment.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) tanks are durable and corrosion-resistant tanks commonly used for the storage of various liquids, including water, chemicals, and fuels.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units are systems responsible for controlling the temperature, humidity, and air quality within a building.
Organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon atoms, found in petroleum, natural gas, and coal. They are a significant component of fuels and can be environmental pollutants.
A thorough examination of a system or structure (e.g., tanks, pipelines) to assess its physical condition, identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, and ensure its continued safe and reliable operation.
An alarm system designed to detect when an oil or fuel interceptor (separator) is full of oil or water, indicating the need for maintenance or emptying to prevent pollution.
The regular inspection, cleaning, and upkeep of oil/fuel interceptors (separators) to ensure they function effectively in preventing pollutants from entering drainage systems.
A type of separator designed to remove oil, fuel, and other immiscible liquids from wastewater before it enters the public sewer system or natural watercourses, preventing pollution.
International Spill Accreditation Scheme (ISAS) is a scheme that accredits organisations involved in spill response and pollution control, ensuring they meet professional standards and competence in managing environmental incidents.
A service that combines high-pressure water jetting for cleaning and clearing drains/culverts with powerful vacuumation for the removal and transportation of waste materials and liquids using a tanker.
A serial communications protocol widely used in industrial automation for transmitting information over serial lines or Ethernet. It enables devices like sensors and PLCs to communicate.
A sensor that communicates using the Modbus protocol, allowing it to easily integrate with Building Management Systems (BMS), SCADA systems, and other industrial control systems for data exchange.
The Oil Firing Technical Association (OFTEC) is a technical trade association for the oil heating and cooking industry in the UK and Republic of Ireland, setting standards for competence and safety.
A type of sensor designed for leak detection in double-contained piping systems (pipe-in-pipe), where it can detect leaks in either the inner or outer pipe, providing an early warning of potential failures.
Equipment used to retrieve spilled liquids (e.g., oil, fuel) from surfaces or water bodies, such as skimmers, pumps, or vacuum systems.
A pre-packaged collection of absorbents, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other tools specifically designed for the rapid and effective containment and clean-up of hydrocarbon (oil) spills.
Systems designed to collect and convey rainwater runoff from hard surfaces like roofs, roads, car parks and paved areas, ensuring oil and other contaminants are removed, preventing flooding and managing water flow.
