7-1. Determination of place for installation
The thickness of oil layer produced by leaked oil gets the thinner the wider the dispersed area
of the oil. Therefore, it is important how to gather the leaked oil in a limited area.
Gathering of oil in a small area makes easier the work of oil recovering, which leads to
thwarting the mishap from expanding further. This eventually helps increase the reliability
of the detector.
Users are requested to understand enough the above fact and install Apolarm-C correctly at
an adequate place.
For example, such places as listed below are recommendable as places where to install
Apolarm-C.
a) Oil pit inside of the oil bank.
b) Oil pit in pump yard.
In case no water is held in the pit, use dry pit attachment.
c) Oil-separating tank located inside of a plant
d) Oil-separating tank for gas1 station.
e) Inlet and outlet of wastewater treating plants.
f) Oil pit in piers.
g) Oil-separating tank in drainage for plants.
7-2. Effective installation method
a) An installation example inside of tank yard and pump yard.
In tank yard, there is a drain valve attached and accordingly water can be emptied even from
its oil separation pit.
For this reason, dry pit attachment has to be installed there.
