The customer’s task

After a heating oil spill in a public building, the groundwater became heavily contaminated. The local administration was under great pressure to act in order to avert danger to the environment and the population as quickly as possible.

A quickly available, legally compliant and technically robust solution was needed to treat contaminated water professionally.

The solution from LK Metall

LK Metall reacted immediately and provided rental equipment for the transitional period so that the oil separation system could be put into operation immediately. At the same time, a permanent system was planned, manufactured and installed – consisting of:

  • Sludge trap
  • Light liquid separator A6UNO-R1-K1 (max. 6 l/s inlet capacity)
  • Pump control with automatic fill level monitoring of two sumps
  • Complete hose and fittings package

Installation and commissioning were carried out on site – with particular attention paid to the requirements of WHG, AwSV, DIN 1999-100 and EN 858-1.

The result: safety and environmental protection from a single source

Since then, the system has reliably fulfilled its function: it separates oil, sludge and water efficiently, collects light liquids in the welded-on oil storage tank and protects the groundwater in the long term. The rapid availability and professional implementation by LK Metall prevented further environmental damage and ensured legal certainty in the official process.

LK Metallwaren GmbH is a leading supplier of degreasing and oil removal systems, some of which it also operates itself. The systems are characterized by high operational reliability, durability, expandability and simple operation. For over 40 years, LK has demonstrated innovative strength, reliability and environmental awareness in water treatment – a success that is also impressively reflected in this project.
