Why does the Stormceptor need to be inspected?

If a Stormceptor unit is not inspected, you won't know when it needs to be serviced. If it isn't serviced, it may eventually cease to perform the environmental function for which it was selected, and you risk a discharge and the subsequent liabilities involved. Inspections are also a cost-effective preventive measure that can reduce the risk of discharge in the case of an unreported spill, such as a diesel fuel tank leak or a case of engine oil dumped in a catch basin.

What should I do in the event of an oil spill?

You must immediately arrange for cleanup by a licensed liquid-waste hauler and notify the appropriate regulatory agencies, as required, in the event of a spill. Contact Minotaur to have your Stormceptor inspected following cleanup. Minotaur will be happy to assist in making this process as easy as possible for you.

What is a "Generator Number"?

In Ontario, Canada, when a spill occurs, a generator number is needed to allow for the transport of oil. The generator is the Stormceptor owner. The generator must register with the Ministry of the Environment to obtain a generator number, which is required for the Stormceptor service. Minotaur can guide you through this process.

What if an oil rainbow or sheen is seen at the Stormceptor outlet?

With a steady influx of water containing high concentrations of oil, sheen may be noticeable at the Stormceptor outlet. This may occur because a rainbow or sheen can be seen at very low oil concentrations (<10 ppm). A Stormceptor will remove more than 95 per cent of all free oil, and the appearance of sheen at the outlet with high influent oil concentrations does not mean that the unit is not working to this level of removal. In addition, if the influent oil is emulsified, the Stormceptor will not be able to remove it. The Stormceptor is designed for free oil removal and not emulsified products. To reduce the risk of a discharge, schedule a Minotaur inspection.
