Waste fluids

Waste fluids

Airquip and Pipetool have designed and installed waste oil, and waste coolant systems for heavy machinery workshops around the greater Adelaide region. Typically using a compressed air driven double acting diaphragm pump as the heart of these systems, they offer good suction and transfer potential including systems in which limited solids may be present. Waste oil and waste coolant removal into a sealed (often bunded) storage container for removal by your contractor.

Implementing a pipework system for waste oil and used coolant management in a factory offers numerous benefits, primarily in terms of environmental sustainability, workplace safety, and operational efficiency. By pumping waste fluids through dedicated pipelines, the factory can effectively collect and manage the media, reducing environmental pollution and complying with regulations regarding the disposal of hazardous materials. Proper disposal of waste fluids helps mitigate the risk of contamination to soil and water sources, safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem and minimising the factory’s environmental footprint.

Furthermore, a dedicated pipework system for waste coolant enhances workplace safety by eliminating potential hazards associated with manual handling and spillage of coolant waste. Instead of relying on manual transport methods, such as drums or buckets, which pose risks of spills and worker exposure to harmful chemicals, a pipework system ensures controlled and contained transport of waste coolant to designated collection points or disposal facilities. This reduces the risk of accidents, injuries, and occupational health hazards, promoting a safer working environment for factory personnel.

In addition to environmental and safety benefits, a well-designed pipework system for waste oil management contributes to operational efficiency within the factory. By streamlining the collection and disposal process, the factory can optimise workflow and reduce downtime associated with manual handling and cleanup tasks. Additionally, centralized collection points and automated monitoring systems facilitate easier tracking and management of coolant waste volumes, allowing for timely disposal and maintenance scheduling. Overall, investing in a pipework system for waste coolant management not only promotes environmental responsibility and workplace safety but also enhances operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for the facility.
