Leakage or overfill in tanks can occur either by accident, negligence or incompetence. Industrial incidents like this cause damage to the storage facility and negatively impact the health and safety of employees. Severe incidents like leakage of toxic chemicals can also threaten the surrounding community, wildlife and the environment. It can permanently damage a community’s water source, whether from groundwater or aquifers. The negligence in the workplace health and safety not only results in costly repair and cleanup fees, but businesses may also have to pay hefty penalties imposed by regulating government bodies.
Preventive measures can significantly minimize the risk of these incidents, thus minimising the operational disruptions. The common causes of leakage are loose or leaking fitting; a broken pipe; or an overfilled tank caused by the pump mechanism. Leakage detection can be achieved through the placement of sensors on the tank; between the inner and outer tank wall or at the containment basin. The introduction of a signaling device will notify employees when leakage is detected, through an audible alarm sound, a flashing light, or notification in the remote monitoring system in a control room.
Maximat CX Compact Overfill Detector
- All-plastic versions
- Integrated transmitter and connection for test button
- No moving parts
- For storage tanks
- NPN / PNP interface
- With Government approval: DIBt-approval (Germany); KVU-approval (Suisse); Vlarem-approval (Belgium); GOST-negative certificate (Russia)
BAMO Maximat CX compact overfill detectors are level limit switches that are used to prevent overfilling of containers with water-polluting liquids. When an electrically conductive liquid comes into contact with the detector stem, the integrated electronics respond by interrupting the continuous output signal. This signal can be read out from the system controller as acoustic and optical alarms and, if required, can be used to cause an emergency shutdown of the filling process.

- Fail safe; Auto-diagnostic with SHR relay
- Fitting: Adjustable depth
- Economical version
Maxitop compact overfill sensor monitors the overfilling of a tank with electrically conductive, non-flammable liquids, even highly aggressive liquids. Example : Storage tanks for caustic soda (NaOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), etc.
Maximat LW CX Compact Leak Detector
- All-plastic versions
- Integrated transmitter and connection for test button
- No moving parts
- For storage tanks
- NPN / PNP interface
- With Government approval: DIBt-approval (Germany); KVU-approval (Suisse); Vlarem-approval (Belgium); GOST-negative certificate (Russia)
BAMO Maximat LW CX compact leak detectors are used to detects leakage of containers, outside the container, leaks of water polluting liquids. When an electrically conductive liquid comes into contact with the detector probe, the integrated electronics respond by interrupting the continuous output signal. By interrupting the signal, audible and visual alarms are triggered.

BAMO Maxitop LW C is designed to detect conductive liquids with a reactance up to 5 kOhm/cm and a coupling capacitance towards ground of more than 50 pF. The liquids may not generate electrical insulating or conductive deposit.
Maximat LWC BX Floor Leakage Detector
- All-plastic versions
- Integrated transmitter and connection for test button
- No moving parts
- Floor leak detection
- NPN / PNP interfaces
- Wet parts in plastic materials
- With Government approval: DIBt-approval (Germany); KVU-approval (Suisse); Vlarem-approval (Belgium); GOST-negative certificate (Russia)
BAMO Maximat LWC BX compact leak detectors are used to detect leakage or spread water-polluting liquids. Due to the short detection height of liquid, about 1mm, even a small leakage quantity is reliably detected. The device is used for leakage detection of water-polluting media.
Maxitop LWC B Floor Leakage Detector
- Capacitance detection loop
- For aggressive and conductive liquids
- Fail-safe; Self-diagnostic of loop integrity with SHR or TC4 or TC1
- Wet parts in plastic materials
