Rapid Sump System

Description

The R.S.S. (Rapid Sump System) is designed
to prevent rain water or liquid spills from filling
up your secondary containment structure taking
away from important fluid holding limits. When
the liquid begins filling the containment structure
the float valve on the R.S.S. is triggered. Once
the float valve is triggered the pump will turn
on and pump the liquid into the separator tank
or any available flow lines. The RSS filters out gravel and large debris, keeping it out of the separator tank.  Secondary containment structures need to be as empty as possible during storms because the more rain water the containment structure is holding the less it can hold if lightning strikes the tank battery.
The base of the RSS is made of PVC with suction holes drilled throughout, maximizing the suction area. Each end of the base contains a filtering screen that covers the large openings.  These openings allow for a larger volume of water to be pumped out of the secondary containment structure.
Powered by gas or compressed air.
