Sensitive to environmental protection, Pronal has developed an emergency pipe plug called OPAP. We can also call it an anti-pollution pipe plug. It is used for diameters below 1000 mm. For larger diameters, we invite you to look at the OFR range of emergency pipe plugs.
In case of disaster, this plug can quickly stop any accidental pollution.
This system is in line with the risk prevention as described in article 13 of the decree of 5/08/2002. Relating to the prevention of the disasters in the companies, this article imposes to the establishments, to equip their networks of collection of effluents and rainwater, of systems of obturation to maintain any accidental pollution.
In addition, its installation is simple and does not require major civil engineering work. The emergency pipe plug is permanently installed in the pipes. It is maintained in the upper part of the pipe and does not interfere with the water flow.
Once installed, the plugging balloon is connected, by a flexible hose, to a control box near the manhole. It can be triggered manually in the box, or automatically using a remote electric control or a GSM remote control. Thanks to this control box we can inflate and deflate the pipe plug the shutter remotely. This system prevents the operator from going down in the pipe.
