Anywhere petroleum products are stored, handled at transfer facilities, or used in refueling areas, spill and erosion control protection measures are critical. The environmental impacts of an accidental spill can be devastating. Good housekeeping practices, along with spill control measures, can drastically reduce the damage caused by an accidental spill.

Public works yards, railway stations, military installations, airports, maintenance facilities, oil, and even food processing facilities use Stormceptor as part of the storm water treatment system.

The Stormceptor System, from Rinker Stormceptor, has been used hundreds of times as a spill control measure. The fiberglass insert inside the precast concrete Stormceptor extends into the treatment chamber, providing dual wall protection against volatile hydrocarbons. Stormceptor has captured thousands of gallons of spills, as well as removed total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) from storm water run-off.

Recently, in a border crossing station in the Niagara Falls area, a tanker truck sprang a leak, sending over 800 gallons of palm oil into the storm drain system. Fortunately, two STC 900 In-Line Stormceptor Systems were part of the spill containment system. The two Stormceptors captured the entire spill, preventing the oil from contaminating the popular tourist falls.

Wherever a device is employed as a stand-alone spill control measure, the designer must be certain the device will perform in the event of a spill. Stormceptor has proved in laboratory, full scale, and field tests more than 95% removal of all free oils.
