Absorption systems for safe containment of leaks

Absorption systems prevent spilled or leaking liquids from spreading across the floor or entering the drainage system. Spill trays and drip pallets are placed under machines, drums, IBCs and storage tanks as legally required secondary containment when storing hazardous liquids.

They are indispensable for complying with environmental legislation and ADR regulations for the storage and transport of hazardous substances.

Technical features of absorption systems

Absorption systems are available in steel, polyethylene (PE) and stainless steel, depending on the stored liquid and environment. PE systems are chemically resistant and suitable for aggressive liquids. Steel systems offer the highest mechanical strength for heavy industrial applications.

Containment capacity is matched to the legal requirement of at least 10% of the total stored volume or the content of the largest container.

Applications of absorption systems

Absorption systems are used in industry, the chemical sector, transport and at storage facilities for hazardous liquids such as oil, fuel, lubricants and chemicals. They are indispensable for organisations with legal storage obligations.

Combine with absorption materials for a complete spill management strategy.
