Spill pallets are a secondary containment system designed to store various containers, while catching potential leaks and spills that may contaminate the immediate area. These pallets play an essential role in preventing spills, safeguarding the environment, and protecting workers from hazardous chemicals.
ENPAC offers many different styles and types of spill pallets based on the application, the most commonly use are for the 55-gallon steel drums and for IBC totes. Other spill pallets are great for hazardous chemicals as they meet full containment for hazardous chemical regulations by the EPA and various other chemical drips and leaks meet OSHA and Housekeeping regulations.
Load Testing
ENPAC’s spill pallets are used around the world in a myriad of environments. From the frozen oil patches of Alaska to the scorching deserts of the Middle East, plastic products are expected to perform. Load capacity is a crucial part of performance in these different environments. ENPAC has implemented their own hot box testing to mimic real world product usage and ensure products can withstand various loads in the extreme temperatures of the world.
The hot box is an insulated room, located at ENPAC’s headquarters, used to test all load-bearing products, such as spill pallets, IBC containment units, and storage sheds. Products are tested to meet or exceed stated load ratings by placing the loaded product in the hot box at high heat for a number of days without failure.
ENPAC’s spill pallets are the most reliable on the market. Next time you see an ENPAC spill containment unit sitting in the sweltering heat, you can rest easy knowing that the plastic can take the heat!
How much containment do you need?
Regulations
EPA 40 CFR 264.175 (b)(3) Containment
The containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater.
EPA 40 CFR 112 Spill Prevention, Control and Containment (SPCC)
Summary: The purpose of the SPCC regulation is prevention of oil discharge into navigable waters and related areas, rather than cleanup after a spill has occurred. The regulation generally affects all facilities with at least 1,320 gallons above ground storage capacity, or 42,000+ gallons underground storage capacity. The SPCC requires affected facilities to prepare and file an action plan (the SPCC Plan), and the plan will include spill prevention measures and controls.
