• Oil pollution at vehicle standing areas such as lock-ups can attract the attention of the Environment Agency (EA). In fact oil accounts for one quarter of all incidents reported to the EA, with over 6,000 each year.
Cirva claims it can save customers up to 50% on their waste management costs with its oil separator, which has a built-in alarm that's activated when 90% of the oil-storage vol ume is reached, alerting you to call out the waste management company.
Those responsible for oil separators don't always recognise that along with routine emptying, separators need to be serviced regularly to ensure top performance. To resolve the matter the EA has drawn up guidelines in line with European Standard 858-2 to advise owners about the servicing their oil separators.
