Secondary Containment for Oil & Chemical Storage
What is Secondary Containment?
Secondary containment systems are designed to capture and control leaks or spills from oils, chemicals, and other hazardous liquids, preventing them from polluting the environment. These systems are essential for maintaining workplace safety and ensuring environmental protection across industrial settings.
Secondary containment pallets are important in industrial workplaces. If proper containment is not in place, spills can harm equipment, taint products, and lead to expensive downtime.
Combine Drum Spill Pallet, Steel Spill Pallets, Drum Storage Racks, and Spill Work Floors for complete drum storage protection and spill control solutions. These prevent leaks from spreading and helps protect people, equipment, and the environment.
Every workplace has its own storage and safety needs. Choose the right spill containment solution to meet regulations and prevent spills. Tailor it to your operations.
Types of Secondary Containment Systems
Heavy-Duty Spill Containment Pallets
Drum spill pallets hold 1–4 drums (or IBCs) with a sump underneath rated to 110% of the largest container. See our full pallet range including 2-drum and 4-drum models.
Secondary Containment Trays
Compact trays (13–60L sump) for lab benches, small containers, and low-clearance storage — see our full tray range.
Spill Work Floors for Safety
Modular flooring panels for larger drum storage areas — indoor or outdoor — where a single pallet isn't enough coverage.
Drum Storage Rack
Elevated racks for multi-drum storage and dispensing — reduces manual handling and keeps drums secured for easy access.
Chemical Containment Solutions
For corrosive or aggressive chemicals, standard polyethylene containment may not resist the material. Enviroguard's chemical containment solutions include chemical-rated trays and pallets built for acids, bases, and solvents — confirm your specific chemical with us to ensure material compatibility.
Choosing the right containment system keeps workers safe. It also helps maintain compliance and prevents costly spills. Enviroguard offers reliable, and long-lasting spill containment solutions for every industrial environment. For complete workplace safety, you may also need neutralizers and PPE to handle hazardous chemical spills and protect workers during spill response operations. We supply across India with PAN India delivery.
Should I use a spill pallet, a spill tray, or a berm for my drum storage area?
Spill pallets are standard for 1–4 drums or IBCs — drums sit at working height with a sump underneath. Spill trays suit smaller containers or low-clearance areas. Spill Berms handle larger areas or temporary setups where you need to contain equipment, vehicles, or multiple pallets inside one perimeter.
What sump capacity do I need for my secondary containment system?
Secondary containment must hold at least 110% of the largest single container, or 25% of total stored volume — whichever is greater. For a 200-litre drum, that means a minimum 220-litre sump. Enviroguard's 4-drum pallet (PS4DSP) provides 265 litres, meeting this requirement for up to four drums.
