Oleolift-C For your safety For your safety Always read the safety instructions before installing and commissioning the plant in order to prevent personal injuries and damage to property. 1.1 Intended use 1.1.1 Area of use The plant serves to retain light liquids of mineral origin from the waste water. In areas where the handling of light liquids with a mineral origin or mixtures of light liquids may endanger the environment, separator plants for treatment or as retention devices must be provided.
Oleolift-C For your safety Special introduction The use of the plants for the treatment of waste water arising from workshop drainage and from the draining, dismantling, compaction and shredding of end-of-life vehicles is only possible in specific cases after the permissibility of such a discharge has been clarified with the competent water authority, since in these cases other pollutants in addition to hydrocarbons may be present in concentrations that cannot be adequately treated in a plant.
Applications and uses other than those described in chapter 1.1 and modifications are not permitted. Non-approved parts Installation of unapproved parts impairs safety and excludes any guarantee from ACO. In the event of replacement, only use original ACO parts or spare parts approved by ACO. Introduction No substances may be discharged into the plant which could impair the stability of the ■...
Oleolift-C For your safety 1.3 Fundamental hazard potential The plant is defined as a Zone 0 hazardous area. Access to the plant is only permitted when the accident prevention regulations valid ■ at the time of access are taken into account. Accident prevention regulations can be obtained from your local accident insurance association.
