Main Feature
needed in one unit, so there is just one piece of kit to offload, one piece of kit to connect up making it simple and hassle free.
The StormStation can be used to provide water for toilet flushing, urinal flushing, wash down facilities and laundry, giving operators a huge reduction in running costs and expenditure on mains water. Most importantly users will have a sustainable and environmentally friendly water supply, treating their own free rainwater on site. The StormStation, which come in capacities ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 l. The unit is ideal for:
• Construction sites, where toilet facilities are provided in portakabins - then take the StormStation to the next site
• Fast food and service station areas in out of town locations
company also offers a range of components and spares from basic lifting keys through to delivery pumps capable of handling both sludges and high water volumes. An example of the type of equipment on offer is the Gully and Sweeper Waste Reception Station which is a mobile facility is able to handle various waste streams from gully emptying and road sweepings through to sewage and oily contaminated wastes. The company also offers Dewatering Units, High Tip Reception Containers, the OAVC Oily Water Separation Unit, Satellite Wet Waste Treatment Facility, the SAWC - MK2, Screening Equipment and Wet Waste Treatment Stations.
This then leaves us with Rainwater harvesting/recycling. Drain Trader looked at this area of the industry quite comprehensively back in its October issue in 2016. However a re-visit to see what if anything has changed may be of use here.
Aquality has introduced its Aqua Storm Control system. This is claimed to be a revolutionary system based on a new cloud technology platform that uses sensor data, climate forecast information and modelling to actively control, maintain, and monitor, water infrastructure. The major benefits of Aqua-Storm-Control to property Designers, Installers, Property Owners and the greater Community include:
• One tank not two so offering an immediate saving on tanks, construction and groundwork
• Less space is required and the dormant attenuation tank becomes live and useful
• A rainwater harvesting system added at very low cost offers savings made from day one
• Savings are measured constantly by the On-line performance monitoring of the rainwater harvesting system
• Existing attenuation tanks can be adapted to manage rainwater profitably
Stormsaver Ltd recently announced the launch of what is claimed to be its new revolutionary StormStation. The Stormsaver StormStation rainwater harvesting system is claimed to answer many of the problems associated with retrofitting of rainwater harvesting tanks to existing buildings which has always proved a little complicated. With no need to excavate existing car parks or landscaping to install a tank underground there is also no need to create additional space for a control panel and filtration in any plant room. The StormStation houses everything
• Petrol Stations • Existing commercial or educational buildings • New build projects
In response to industry requests Stormsaver Ltd has also introduced a new unique, online specification tool for consultants, public health engineers and architects. If the user is a contractor working on a Design and Build Project, the programme can also build a bespoke specification in just 3 minutes. Once the user has completed the information needed to be able to size the system, Stormsavers’ unique sizing system will provide the correct specification for the users’ needs, complete with tank capacities, the correct controls and pumping requirements, data sheets and written documents to include in any specification. The system it is claimed will not only save the user hours of time, it will provide the peace of mind that, provided the information that has been input is correct, then specification should be correct.
Once completed, Stormsavers’ team will receive a copy of the specification that has been created and would always be available to advise users who call the team to run through the specification to ensure that any individual building has its own needs fully met.
The basis of rainwater harvesting however remains the same irrespective of any new models of tank or control systems that may be on the market. Rainwater collected from roofs, exposed areas etc. can provide a specific amount of ‘free’ water for storage and later use without the need to treat it provided that it is used for non-potable applications. Typically, for example, a small modern new-build home with an 80 m2 roof will harvest around 43,000 l annually, even in the relatively dry south-east of England, thus reducing household consumption by about this amount. This is equivalent to meeting
