Safe Oil Drum Containment – Flexible Spill Management for Workshops and Industry

Safe Oil Drum Containment – Flexible Spill Management for Workshops and Industry
Oil drums must be stored in a way that prevents leaks and spills from reaching the ground, drains or stormwater systems. This can be achieved through secondary containment. Secondary containment is a sealed collection area designed to capture oil if a drum starts leaking or becomes damaged. This reduces the risk of environmental damage, costly clean-up operations and disruptions to daily operations.

The containment system must have sufficient capacity to hold the entire volume of the largest container, plus at least 10% of the remaining stored volume. Additional requirements may vary depending on the contents, location and local regulations. Always check the requirements applicable to your specific operations.

When a dedicated oil storage room is unavailable or the workspace changes, a mobile containment unit can provide a flexible alternative.

The Eurolube mobile containment unit 16860 is designed for safe and convenient handling of oil drums in workshops and industrial environments. It has a containment capacity of 220 litres, allowing it to collect the entire contents of a 208-litre drum.

The mobile containment unit:

• Provides protection in the event of leaks or damage to the drum

• Can be moved wherever it is needed

• Contributes to a safer workplace

• Can be equipped with a pump, meter and hose reel

Its mobile design makes it easy to adapt the setup when the drum or workstation needs to be moved. It meets regulatory requirements for secondary containment when storing environmentally hazardous liquids. Ideal for field service in construction, mining, marine applications and other environmentally sensitive environments.

Reduce Risks During Storage and Transport

An oil drum can be damaged by collisions, movement or other unexpected impacts. Secondary containment helps contain spills and reduces the risk of oil spreading to surrounding areas.

Suitable equipment should also be used when lifting and moving drums. A drum lifter for upright oil drums helps ensure safer handling and reduces the risk of injury to personnel and damage to drums.
