A global oil and gas company operating off-grid petrol stations adopted Propelair toilets to reduce water use, tank emptying frequency, and operating costs. Installing two ultra-low-flush toilets cut water consumption by 75%, saved over £14,600 annually in water and tanking costs, improved hygiene performance, and delivered a rapid payback of just four months.
Client Profile
The client is a global oil and gas company operating off-grid petrol stations across the UK and international markets. These retail fuel sites rely on cesspits rather than mains sewage, making water efficiency critical. Reducing flush volumes lowers water demand, minimises tank emptying frequency, cuts operating costs, and improves hygiene for staff and customers in remote, high-use environments.
Challenges / Pain Points
Operating off-grid petrol stations, the client faced high water consumption from outdated flush systems that rapidly filled cesspits. Frequent tank emptying created high maintenance costs, operational disruption, and additional vehicle movements. Rising water and tanking bills, growing ESG pressure, and the need to improve hygiene standards for staff and customers highlighted the inefficiency and unsustainability of conventional toilet systems in remote, high-use environments.
The Propelair Solution
To address off-grid operational challenges, two Propelair air-powered toilets were installed at a high-use petrol station site. Each unit uses just 1.5 litres per flush, significantly reducing water demand and cesspit filling rates. The toilets feature a dry flush function for rapid blockage clearance without water, and QR-code asset tracking to support proactive maintenance. These capabilities minimise downtime, reduce servicing frequency, improve hygiene performance, and deliver measurable water, carbon, and tanking cost savings, making Propelair ideally suited for remote and off-grid environments.
