DrainEezy® Bund Alarm

Prevent oily water contaminating your site.

The DrainEezy Bund Alarm is a water level monitoring system engineered specifically for transformer bunds. When water rises to a configurable threshold, the alarm triggers, giving site operators the critical time they need to intervene before potentially contaminated water escapes the bund.

For bunds with a DrainEezy Bund Filter installed, the Bund Alarm can indicate that the filter has reached capacity or that debris is blocking the bund outlet.

The Bund Alarm features robust carbon fibre-reinforced construction, flexible mounting options, and seamless compatibility with existing SCADA alarm infrastructure. The result is a reliable, low-disruption addition to any site’s environmental protection strategy.

Key Features

  • SCADA-Compatible Alarm Output: Integrates directly with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, enabling automated monitoring and centralised alerts without the need for additional control hardware.
  • Simple Integration with Existing Infrastructure: Designed to work within your site’s current setup, the Bund Alarm connects to your existing SCADA system via a wired installation by a control system engineer.
  • Built to Last in Harsh Environments: The body is manufactured from a high-performance carbon fibre reinforced polymer, delivering exceptional durability in demanding outdoor and industrial environments.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Accommodates a variety of installation scenarios with both magnetic fixing and M8 bolted attachment suitable for varied bund surfaces and configurations. Magnetic fixings are supplied as standard; M8 fixings are not included.
  • Adjustable Alert Height: The alert trigger level can be fine-tuned via bracket positioning, allowing operators to set the precise water level threshold that suits their site’s maintenance response times.
  • Debris and Biofouling Resistant Bracket Design: The bracket geometry is specifically engineered to reduce the accumulation of debris and biological fouling, ensuring reliable long-term performance with minimal maintenance intervention.
  • High Performance Float Switch: The float switch is constructed from Polypropylene and Grade 304 Stainless Steel for chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, and longevity in wet and contaminated water environments.

FAQs

What is a bund alarm used for?

A bund alarm monitors water levels within a containment bund and triggers an alert when water reaches a potentially dangerous level. This gives site operators the time they need to intervene before overflow occurs. Rising water levels can indicate several issues, including heavy rainfall overwhelming the drainage system, a filter reaching capacity, or debris blocking the bund outlet. Early warning is key to preventing water from escaping the bund and causing environmental or operational harm.

Is the DrainEezy Bund Alarm compatible with SCADA systems?

Yes. The Green Rhino DrainEezy Bund Alarm is fully compatible with SCADA alarm systems, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into existing site monitoring and control infrastructure.

What causes water to accumulate in transformer bunds?

Transformer bunds can accumulate water during periods of heavy rainfall, blocked drainage, or poor site drainage conditions. Without monitoring, this water that’s potentially contaminated with transformer oil, risks overflowing and causing environmental harm.

How is the DrainEezy Bund Alarm installed?

The unit can be mounted using either magnetic fixings or M8 bolted attachment, making it adaptable to different bund surfaces. The alert height is adjustable via bracket positioning, requiring no specialist tools or significant site disruption. Magnetic fixings are supplied as standard; M8 fixings are not included.

What materials is the DrainEezy Bund Alarm made from?

The body is made from a carbon fibre-reinforced high-performance polymer. The float switch uses Polypropylene and Grade 304 Stainless Steel for corrosion and chemical resistance.
