Why Every Waste Oil Tank Should Be Fitted With An AFC Level Alert System (LAS)

Every waste oil tank should be fitted with an AFC Level Alert System - a tank overflow prevention system which will prevent any over fills of your waste oil and waste coolant tanks.

Environmental Protection

Waste oil is considered hazardous waste. If a tank overflows, it can lead to soil contamination, water pollution, and harm to wildlife. Level alert and overflow prevention systems help avoid such spills, ensuring environmental compliance. We have seen fines of up to $70,000 on waste oil tank overfills.

Regulatory Compliance

Many countries and regions have strict regulations regarding the storage of waste oil. Overflow prevention systems are often required to meet legal and safety standards, helping companies avoid fines or shutdowns.

Safety

Overflowing tanks can create fire hazards, pose slip risks, or result in the release of toxic vapours. Level alert systems ensure early warning before levels become dangerous, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Cost Savings

Cleaning up after a spill can be extremely costly — both in terms of environmental remediation and operational downtime. A reliable alert and prevention system helps avoid these unnecessary expenses.

Operational Efficiency

With a level alert system, operators have real-time awareness of tank capacity. This allows for better planning for waste oil pickups or transfers, reducing unplanned service interruptions.

Automation

With a level alert system, a cut out-solenoid can be installed to cut air supply to the pump, providing an additional measure to prevent overfills.
