About spill & environmental

The Spill & Environmental category encompasses products designed for the management and mitigation of industrial liquid spills, along with drum handling. Absorbents are available in various forms, including pads, rolls, socks, and pillows, classified by their absorbency type: oil-only (hydrophobic, repels water), universal (hydrophilic, absorbs water, oils, and chemicals), and hazmat (chemically resistant for aggressive fluids). Absorbency capacity is specified in gallons or liters per unit. Spill kits are pre-packaged collections of absorbents, PPE, and disposal bags, sized for specific spill volumes (e.g., 5-gallon, 30-gallon, 55-gallon kits). Containment pallets provide secondary containment for drums and IBCs, featuring sumps with capacities typically ranging from 66 to 385 gallons, compliant with EPA 40 CFR 264.175. Materials for containment products include polyethylene (HDPE, LLDPE) for chemical resistance, steel for durability, and fiberglass. Drum handling equipment includes drum dollies, cradles, and pumps. Drum pumps are available in manual (lever, piston, rotary) and powered (electric, pneumatic) variants, with materials like polypropylene, stainless steel, or PVDF selected based on chemical compatibility and viscosity. Flow rates are specified in GPM, and discharge hose diameters are typically 0.75 to 1.5 inches.

How to choose

Selecting spill and environmental products begins with identifying the spilled substance: oil, water-based, or corrosive chemical, which dictates the absorbent type (oil-only, universal, hazmat). Next, determine the potential spill volume to size absorbents and spill kits appropriately. For drum storage, assess the number and size of drums (55-gallon, IBC) to select a containment pallet with adequate sump capacity, ensuring EPA compliance. Consider the chemical compatibility of the containment material (polyethylene, steel) with the stored liquids. Finally, for drum pumps, match the pump material (polypropylene, stainless steel) and power source (manual, electric, pneumatic) to the fluid's viscosity and chemical properties, and the required flow rate.
