Spill Pallet
Brief Description
A spill pallet is a bunded secondary containment item that is designed to hold containers of oil and fuels, typically in either a 205 litre drum or in a IBC. It is called a 'secondary containment item' because it is designed to catch the leaks and spill of the container's contents which rest upon it.
The spill pallets can come in a variety of sizes to accomodate multiple containers.
UK Legislation.
In the UK, you cannot store a container of oil or fuel outisde unless it is bunded in a secondary containment item (Oil Storage Regulations 2001). This means that if the container of oil leaks, it will be contained within the bund. The secondary containment item must be able to hold 110% of the largest container above.
Therefore if a person were to try and store 4 x 205 litres drums on the sump pallet, the sump pallet must be able to hold 225.5 litres of oil.
Although there are no laws in the UK stating that a sump pallet must hold 110% of the largest container upon it, it is still considered good practise to do so.
Materials.
Sump pallets can be made in a variety of materials, but due to the nature of the oils or chemicals which will be stored upon it, they are typically made from either UV stabilised polyethylene, or steel (which may be galvanised for further protection from harsher chemicals.
