Reduces Effluent Charges from Car Washers
Interceptors Tanks for Vehicle Wash Installations
Reduce pollution and effluent charges from your car wash facility
Reduce pollution and effluent charges from your car wash facility by installing a three stage interceptor tank. Installations will prevent drains from blocking with the added advantage of free flowing oil being removed.
The lightweight interceptor tanks are manufactured from sturdy and durable glass reinforced polyester (GRP) which has corrosion proof and rot proof properties. This one piece tank system, ideal for a speedy installation, can be placed in a forecourt or within a washbay and includes manhole covers (26 tonne capacity).
Water Recycling
A water recycling system can be installed, at a later date, to the connections fitted at the time of installing the interceptor tank.
A water recycling systems will present savings in water and effluent charges and has the added advantage of ensuring the car wash can still operate under a hose pipe ban during drought situations.
There are numerous interceptor tank models available with different dimensions, weight and water capacity.

The EA and SEPA Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG) which are jointly produced by the Environment Agency for England and Wales, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, and the Environment and Heritage Service for Northern Ireland (Ref PPG3 / PPG13 / PPG4 / PPG 14) suggest that Class 2 wash bay silt traps and interceptors should be connected only to a mains foul drain, and Class 1 separators to surface drain.
The above assumes you have the consent to connect any outflow to a suitable drain as per the appropriate PPG Guideline. While we always endeavour to provide best advice and accurate information, it the responsibility of the client and/or landowner to comply with the law. Following any guideline doesn’t remove your responsibility to comply with the law and prevent pollution from your activities. Causing or allowing pollution is a criminal offence; compliance with any guidance isn’t a defence. You should make sure that the references to other sources of guidance are still current.
