IBC Spill Pallet Kits & Bunded Storage – Recontainers Direct
Recontainers Direct stocks a wide array of IBC spill pallet kits and bunded storage solutions that provide you with an extra layer of protection against leaks and waste of the liquids you’re storing in your IBCs. It’s important to recognise that depending on what you’re storing, bunded storage may be mandatory – but even if it isn’t, it’s often a prudent choice because of the extra protection and peace of mind that it offers. Whatever you’re looking for though, Recontainers Direct has a solution to suit your needs.
What Are IBC Spill Pallets and Why Do You Need Them?
Spill pallets are secondary IBC spill containment systems engineered to catch and hold spills from IBCs. This reduces risks associated with storing hazardous liquids and ensures compliance with regulations like the UK Oil Storage Guidelines.
Key Features
- Durability: Made from polyethylene for corrosion resistance.
- Ease of Transport: Forklift-accessible designs streamline handling.
- Capacity: Large enough to contain spills from standard IBCs.
Proper use of spill pallets prevents contamination of soil and waterways while keeping your operations efficient and safe.
Types of IBC Spill Pallets
Single and Double IBC Pallets
For businesses storing one or two IBCs, single and double pallets are efficient options.
- Single IBC pallets are ideal for smaller facilities.
- Double IBC pallets maximise storage while also saving space.
Covered and Lockable Pallets
Are your operations weather-sensitive, or do they call for an extra layer of security? Covered or lockable chemical transport container pallets add the extra protection against contamination or tampering that you may be looking for.
Materials and Construction
Most IBC spill pallets are made from medium-density polyethylene, a material offering broad chemical compatibility and UV stability.
- Advantages: Lightweight, durable, and resistant to a range of hazardous substances.
- Alternative Materials: Steel pallets are suitable for storing flammable or combustible materials but may require more regular maintenance to prevent rust.
Maintenance Tips
- Conduct Regular Inspections: Check for cracks or wear that might compromise containment.
- Clean After Use: Use neutralizing agents if necessary for chemical spills.
- Proper Placement: Store on flat, stable surfaces to ensure effectiveness.
Working With IBC Bunded Storage
What Is Bunded Storage?
Bunded storage refers to secondary spill containment solutions designed to prevent environmental contamination.
Features of Bunded Storage
- Large Capacity: Bunds must hold 110% of the largest container they’re deployed with, or 25% of the total volume they protect.
- Multiple Configurations: Our product range includes single and multi-IBC units.
- Add-Ons: Dispensing trays and spill funnels enhance usability.
Practical Considerations
When setting up bunded storage:
- Perform a risk assessment to evaluate potential spill scenarios.
- Ensure proper temperature control to maintain chemical stability.
