Andel SumpGuard® – Automatic sump frost protector
SKU: SumpGuard
SumpGuard® provides additional protection to Andel’s BundGuard® system when installed in oil storage environments that are susceptible to freezing temperatures.
The SumpGuard® system automatically monitors and modulates the temperature in the sump 24/7 with a fully submersible heating element that prevents water in the sump from freezing. SumpGuard® allows the BundGuard® system to operate to full efficiency ensuring bunded areas remain free of water wherever there is a risk of freezing weather conditions.
The industry-unique SumpGuard® system has been developed by Andel in response to site operators across Europe requiring a hassle-free solution to the challenges of operating efficiently and fully compliant in freezing conditions.
