OIL SPILL CONTROL VALVES
ecoStop
One single oil droplet can contaminate one hundred liters of pure water. With ecoStop, spill control is safer than ever before.
Our patented mechanical oil spill prevention valve is the only one of its kind in the world. It contains oil spills, which take place by accident or due to leaking fuel tanks, by preventing the oily water from extending downstream and causing more extensive damage. ecoStop is designed for installation at the INLET end in concrete or steel tanks used to contain oil spills.
All other mechanical oil spill prevention valves on the market are for installation at the OULET end since they lack the necessary mechanical pressure to stay closed if they were installed at the inlet end. By installing at the inlet end, the ecoStop spill control valve offers huge advantages. Upon the introduction of nominal amounts of oil in the tank, ecoStop valve mechanically shuts the inlet closed (with 16 feet of total dynamic head or 0.5 bar), thus containing the oil spill upstream.
When conventional oil spill control valves close the outlet pipe, the tank can continue to fill up due to the accident, and it eventually overspills through the manhole causing environmental disaster downstream. Such damage is very costly to clean up. The ecoStop valve has a true and tested 99.9 % reliability track record.
Designed with future standards in mind, ecoStop far exceeds the tough European standards outlined in DIN 1999 and EN858.
The outstanding test results and feedback from satisfied customers speak of the excellent performance of the ecoStop Spill Control System.
Looking to the future, ecoStop is a valuable investment and a major contribution in protecting our environment.
ecoStop provides the safest and most cost-effective method to control spills.
No electrical power requirements. It can be installed with our optional AC or DC alarm systems using internet protocols to immediately send operators electronic messages advising which tank in particular requires attention.
