Explosive atmosphere in the collection reservoir

Sewage containing faeces can lead to gas accumulations in the tank. These gas accumulations can escape into the operating space and create an explosive atmosphere as a result of incorrect installation or maintenance work. This atmosphere can ignite and lead to an explosion. In order to prevent an explosive atmosphere, observe the following points:

• Tank must be undamaged (no cracks, leaks, porous material)! Take any defective lifting units out of operation.
• Connect all connections for inlet, discharge line and venting line in accordance with regulations and tightly!
• Guide the venting line over the roof.
• When opening the tank (e.g. during maintenance work), ensure appropriate exchange of air!
