nacmacfeegle 0 #2 October 14, 2002 So, does the waste oil just 'soakaway' into the ground? I've seen a lot of oil soakaways in Nigeria, and I really don't like them.. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

ernokaikkonen 0 #8 October 14, 2002 >I use my liver as an alcohol soakaway...is that bad?? No, your using a proper filtering technology(your liver) before the waste is passed on to the environment. The only problem is what we are going to do with your liver when you're done using it... Probably dump it at a toxic waste disposal plant. Erno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #9 October 14, 2002 >Soakaway...pour the nasty stuff into the ground and hope it disappears...... That's what figured... I was hoping it wouldn't be that. But concerning the "Ultimate Garage", wasn't there a tank for that sort of stuff?(I didn't really read the pages that carefully, but there was a tank...)

ernokaikkonen 0 #13 October 14, 2002 Oh yeah, loads of holes in the sides is a dead giveaway if one bothers to look with one's eyes... my bad. Aren't there, like, laws against that kind of thing? Dumping petrochemical waste would get you in a lot of trouble here... I mean, doesn't that stuff end up in the phreatic water? WTF, to ask the question?

robzay 0 #16 October 14, 2002 It looks like he's got a line to a tank that's lined. Guessing he'll have to have the tank drained ocasionally. Sort of like a liver and a bladder! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #17 October 14, 2002 "It looks like he's got a line to a tank that's lined. " I don't see it, its why I asked...I see a membrane to stop the tank silting up....but no lining as such.... For a waste oil storage tank, I would expect some form of vent / flame trap arrangement, a seal on teh inlet line(similar to a U-bend on a sewer line)and a larger access way to get a gulley gulper type pump in there....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

robzay 0 #18 October 14, 2002 It's hard to tell how he's going to drain it. Unfortunately there's no picture of the finished drywell. Maybe a BIG straw and lots of suction!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #19 October 14, 2002 With the amount of money going into that garage, it will probably be a "no oil on the floor" kind of place. I'm still curious about drainage though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #20 October 14, 2002 That tank is for the floor drain. He can't run the drain directly to the sewer system because of the inevitibility that some chemicals will get in there. It's still illegal for chemicals to be dumped directly in there. Idealistically, only soapy water will go in there but there will likely be a lot of residue. Oil and petrol refuse has to be properly disposed of. Gas stations have storage tanks for Harry Homeowner to come and dump their oil changes into but this guy would probably keep his in an oil drum and then drive it to a collectin center."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #21 October 14, 2002 After reading an looking at the pictures ect.. I have to agree with Justin & robzay on this one. I don't think this guy is going to be dumping any waste on his floor nor down the floor drain. At least I would hope not. I think the floor drain is for soapy water when he washes the floor. I think he's got other ideas for his petrochemical waste. IMHO only...
