Stop pollution at the flick of a switch.  A complete solution to your spill prevention and protection needs.

Draintector™ rapidly seals drains, stopping pollution of the watercourse at the flick of a switch.  With simple, low-cost installation requiring no civil works, Draintector™ can be independently powered (solar or battery) where mains power is unavailable.

draintector™, from the manufacturers of envirovalve, offers a complete solution to your spill prevention and protection needs.  draintector™ offers excellent cost savings in management time and helps prevent potential environmental liability, prosecution and the resultant negative publicity as the result of a spill.  The unique draintector™ bladder mechanism allows preventive and emergency activations of the system with the added benefit of automatic pumped deflation.

Activation

  • The draintector™ drain security system can be controlled and activated at the touch of a button from anwhere.  Below are listed the standard activation methods currently available.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if your preferred method of activation is not listed to discuss your individual requirements.

    • Manual activation.  The draintector™ unit comes complete with manual activation as standard.  The unit can only be activated by opening the system cabinet and turning the "on/off" switch within to the "on" position by hand.  The manually operated switch activates the pump, powered by a 12volt d.c. battery, which inflates the bladder, blocking the drain.  Once the bladder reaches its preset pressure the system is sealed and the pump is set to re-pressure the bladder if required.
    • Hard wired remove.  The draintector™ unit can be activated any distance away from the system cabinet using a non powered static volt free switching that is hard wired back to the system cabinet.  Switching can be manual or from some other system such as a fire alarm, ph meter, level controller etc.  The draintector™ unit can also be activated as per standard manual activation.  The unit can only be deactivated locally and requires a battery plus either mains or solar power for operation.
    • GSM.  The draintector™ unit can be activated from any distance using a mobile phone to send a text message.  There is no physical connection to the system cabinet.  The draintector™ unit can also be activated as per standard manual activation.  The unit can only be deactivated locally and requires a battery plus either mains or solar power for operation.
    • Sensor activated.  The draintector™ unit can be activated any distance away from the system cabinet using a mains powered static terminal that transmits an activation signal to the cabinet upon receipt of a (volt free) signal from some other system such as a fire sensorpH sensor, oil sensor, turbidity sensor or level sensor.  There is no physical connection to the system cabinet.  The draintector unit can also be activated as per standard manual activation.  The unit can only be deactivated locally and requires a battery plus either mains or solar power for operation.Manual – push button at the control panel to activate and deactivate the system
