Interceptors are designed to collect rain water, oil and other waste products which accumulate in car parks, lorry depots, schools, airports and parks, to name just a few examples.

The system itself is designed to permit only water to escape, trapping all other pollutants for example; oils, fuels and other solid waste within the filtering system.

The accumulation of this waste can cause blockages and if the interceptor were to overflow, all this waste would be dispersed back out across the area it was supposed to protect.

The build-up of oil, debris and other miscellaneous contaminants within an interceptor, alongside the prominent risk of hydrocarbons contaminating the sewerage system or watercourse dramatically increases the risk of forecourt or driveway flooding.

The Thorntons Tanker Services’ engineers are trained to undertake all interceptor related tasks to the highest standards.

This includes both working at height and in confined spaces.

Where Are Interceptors Needed

Surface water may be contaminated by oil at a number of different sites.

These sites need to have measures in place to prevent this oil from polluting the environment.

These sites include:

• Large Car parks of 50 or more car parking spaces
• Smaller car parks discharging to a sensitive environment
• Areas where goods vehicles are parked or manoeuvred
• Vehicle maintenance areas
• Roads
• Industrial sites where oil is stored or used
• Refuelling facilities and any other site with a risk of oil contamination
