OilSmart Pump Switch and OilSmart Alarm Systems

High Liquid Level Alarm and Pump Controls

For elevator sumps, underground utility vaults, tank farms,

secondary containment areas, & pits.

Pumps water only, will not pump hydrocarbons!
​One of the biggest challenges in pumping water from oil containment areas, elevator sumps and underground utility vaults is how to pump water into waterways while containing the oil. Oilsmart Systems incorporate pump controls and alarm sensors that differentiate between oil and water, allowing companies to responsibly discharge the water without worrying about contamination.

Every once in awhile a product comes along that does what nothing else does, or does it better than anything before it. This is it! The OilSmart pump controls and alarm sensors lets you safely pump water only!

Got Elevator Code Problems? Oilsmart Systems Are The Solution!

Our OilSmart Systems incorporates pump controls and alarm sensors that differentiate between oil and water, allowing companies to responsibly discharge the water without worrying about contamination. Oilsmart Systems are UL/CUL listed with a diverse range of electronic design capabilities.

OilSmart Pump Switch and Controller

OilSmart Pump Switch Model #S/OSS20PBPR6/X
The Oilsmart Pump Switch, when combined with a non-auto sump pump, will allow water to be pumped without the risk of pumping oil. The switch is ideal for elevator sumps, transformer containment areas, parking garages, and city underground vaults.

OilSmart High Liquid Level Alarm

​OilSmart Alarm Model #S/OSA-05/X. Plug and Play
The OilSMART Alarm System is a plug and play alarm that differentiates between oil and water. The system is complete with visible mounted indicators and dry contacts for remote monitoring. The alarm will activate with the presence of any liquid and will identify if oil or water is present. With the unique ability to differentiate between oil and water, the OilSmart Alarm System is designed as a high liquid alarm or leak detector system.

OilSmart Hard Wired High Liquid Level Alarm

OilSmart Alarm Model #S/OSA-06/X
This product is housed in an outdoor rated NEMA 4X enclosure. The system features a clear front with visible mounted oil and water indicators, alarm test and silence buttons. In addition to these features the swing panel allows for easy wiring of the LiquidSmart Sensor and incoming AC power. The S/OSA-06/X is an OilSmart Alarm designed for outdoor applications.

​Oil Water Separator Oil Level Alerting System

SkimOil’s oil water separator (OWS) oil level sensor and alarm system was originally designed to provide an alarm signal when accumulated oil would reach a predetermined level. That signal / alarm could then be used to activate pump out systems (by others) or to alert operators that the oil water separator(OWS) needs attention or maintenance — and/or provide signal voltage for other controls — because the oil has reached that preset level.
OilSmart Single Phase Simplex Panel Model # S/OSSIM-30/X
The OilSmart Simplex Panel, when combined with a manual sump pump, will automatically pump water without the risk of pumping oil into the environment. Additionally, the system alerts maintenance or building personnel in the event of a high oil or high water condition. Installation of the Simplex Panel allows you to comply with Elevator Code ASME A17.1 and State/Federal regulations while reducing the risk of adverse publicity, fines and expensive cleanup costs.
OilSMART Single Phase Duplex Panels
The OilSMART Duplex Panel, when combined with two manual sump pumps, will automatically pump water without the risk of pumping oil into the environment. The panel provides pump alteration and high demand two pump operation. Additionally, the duplex system alerts maintenance or building personnel in the event of a high oil or high water condition. The control panel comes complete with all required controls and panel monitoring capabilities. Installation of Duplex allows you to comply with State and Federal regulations while reducing the risk of adverse publicity, fines and expensive cleanup costs.

OPERATION

Sensing is accomplished by measuring the dielectric constant of the medium at the sensor. To prevent cycling the pump off and on the sensor has two sense points; one to control the water level for pump turn on and one to control the point to turn the pump off. The separation of these two points are controlled by two independent sensors that connect to a logic circuit which works as follows:

  • When the water level reaches the top sensor the OilSmart water pump switch will turn on and pump until the lower sensor is uncovered.
  • The OilSmart pump switch will turn off and stay off until the top sensor is again covered by water.
The OilSmart switches and alarm systems are used by environmentally conscious companies throughout the world. Major electric utilities have discovered that the best way to protect transformers and electrical equipment in underground vaults and above ground substations is with the OilSmart switch. Applications also include hydrocarbon sumps, elevator pits, washdown tanks, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, critical care centers, and trauma centers.

SUMMARY
Installation of the OilSmart water pump switch allows you to comply with State and Federal regulations and reduces the risk of adverse publicity, fines and expensive cleanup costs. The OilSmart water pump switch prevents inadvertently pumping oil contaminated waste into the environment.
