Spill Kits, Protecting the Environment by ATradings, UAE
In your day to day operations do you transport, handle or store liquids? Are you prepared for a spill? Would you know where to find a spill kit in an emergency? People often comment we don t need a spill kit but the reality is that every workplace that transports, handles or stores liquids needs to have a spill kit. Whether you re a large manufacturer or a small one man workshop there is a spill kit to suit your needs.
Nearly every industrial workshop will inevitably encounter leaks and spills of some kind. It doesn t matter whether your business is large or small; if you use or store fuels, oils, chemicals, hydraulic fluids, batteries, solvents and other similar liquids, you will require a Spill Kit to help prevent spills polluting waterways and land that leads to waterways.
How to choose a correct Spill Kit is directly connected to the answers for the following 3 questions;
1) What type of liquid/ (s) do you need to absorb?
2) What s the largest capacity you need to absorb?
3) How portable do you need the Spill Kit to be?
Spill kits come in three main sizes 60L, 120L and 240L. The size of the spill kit that you need depends on the volume of liquids you are handling within a specific area. 240L spill kits are ideal for larger manufacturing plants that deal with greater volumes of liquids. 120L kits are a great option for smaller workshops or dedicated work areas within larger sites and 60L spill kits are useful to have on board when transporting liquids or containing any smaller spills that may occur. They are also a great option for small workshops that don t have a lot of storage.
Spill Kits comprise of three different sorbent Types, General Purpose, Oil Only, and Chemical. General purpose sorbents are suitable for the clean-up of most liquids used in factories and workshops with the exception of highly aggressive chemicals. These are a good choice as an everyday sorbent when you might not know what liquid you will need to clean-up. Oil Only sorbents are unique as they have the ability to soak up hydrocarbons (oils) whilst repelling water. This makes these sorbents ideal for marine environments and/ or if you are trying to clean hydrocarbons in the rain. These sorbents are a great alternative to GP if you know you will only need to pick up oil. Lastly, Chemical sorbents, these are ideal for hazardous liquid clean-up in laboratories or workplaces with aggressive Chemicals. They can be used on a wide range of chemicals, including hydrofluoric acids
