For the storage of environmentally hazardous substances, KOK Milieuopslagsystemen manufactures custom-made spill containment pallets. Spill containment pallets can be manufactured from (powder-coated) sheet metal, zincor, stainless steel, or high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

The length, width, and depth of the spill containment trays can be freely determined. The spill containment trays can be fitted with legs, allowing them to be moved using a pallet truck or forklift. If pallets or IBCs need to be placed directly on the spill containment tray, steel grids will be made for the tray.

Additional spill containment trays can be provided in a storage container or horse stall to increase the total containment capacity or to keep specific substances better separated. The spill containment trays are placed between the beams and are equipped with grating floors, so that pallets or IBCs can be placed on them.

Sump pallets with KOK environmental storage systems

KOK Milieuopslagsystemen manufactures custom-made spill pallets for liquids, oil, chemicals, IBCs, pallets and other packaging. Material, dimensions, containment volume and design are tailored to the substances and the way you work. This prevents leaks onto the floor or ground and ensures you meet the requirements for safe product containment.

What is the meaning of a drip tray?

A drip tray is a containment device used to catch spilled or leaked liquids. This prevents oil, chemicals or other environmentally harmful substances from entering the soil, floor or working environment. Drip trays are widely used for the storage of drums, jerry cans, IBCs and other liquid packaging.

What is a drip tray used for?

A drip tray is used to safely contain leaks and spills. This is important when storing oil, chemicals, cleaning agents, paint products, fuels and other liquids that can cause harm to people, the environment or the workplace. A drip tray helps to prevent soil contamination and contributes to safe storage.

What are the regulations for a spill pallet?

A sump pallet must have sufficient containment capacity, be resistant to the stored liquids and must not be connected to the foul water sewer. In many situations, the baseline principle is that the sump pallet must be able to hold at least 110% of the largest container and at least 10% of the total volume of all containers. The exact requirements depend on the substances, quantities and storage location.

When is a drip tray mandatory?

A sump pallet is often mandatory or necessary when liquid soil-polluting or hazardous substances are stored. Think of oil, chemicals, fuels, acids, alkalis, detergents or other environmentally harmful liquids.

Which liquids need to be placed on a drip tray?

Liquids that, in the event of a leak, could cause damage to the soil, environment or working environment must be stored on or above a suitable drip tray. Examples include oil, fuels, chemicals, solvents, paint, varnishes, acids, alkalis, coolants and cleaning agents. Liquid waste products must also be stored above a suitable drip tray.

What is the difference between a drip tray and a containment sump?

In practice, the terms drip tray, containment tray and product collection are used interchangeably.

What is a spill pallet for hazardous substances?

A sump pallet for hazardous substances is a containment facility that is suitable for the chemical properties of the stored substances. The sump pallet must be resistant to the liquids and large enough to safely catch any leaks. In the case of hazardous substances, consideration must also be given to PGS 15, substance segregation, fire safety, and the safety data sheets.

How big should a drip tray be?

The required capacity of a drip tray depends on the containers placed on or above it. Within PGS 15, calculations are based on at least 110% of the largest container or at least 10% of the total capacity of all stored containers. For unusual substances, greater risks or specific regulations, additional requirements may apply.

How do you calculate the containment capacity of a drip tray?

First look at the largest packaging on the drip tray. The drip tray must be able to hold at least 110% of that content. Then compare this with 10% of the total content of all packaging on the drip tray. The highest result is the starting point for the required containment capacity.

May a drip tray be connected to the sewer?

No, a drip tray must not be connected to the foul water sewer. The purpose of a drip tray is precisely to catch leaks and spills so that they can be cleaned up and disposed of in a controlled manner. Hazardous or soil-threatening substances must not end up in the sewer via the drip tray.

Why is standing water not allowed to remain in a drip tray?

If rainwater or other water remains in a drip tray, the available containment capacity decreases. In the event of a leak, there may then be insufficient space to safely contain the liquid. Therefore, a drip tray must be checked regularly and kept empty.

What drip tray material do I need?

The right material depends on the liquid being stored. For many applications, steel sump pallets are suitable. For corrosive substances, acids or alkalis, plastic or HDPE may be more appropriate. Stainless steel or zincor may be suitable when extra durability, chemical resistance or hygiene is important.

Can a custom-made plastic drip tray be manufactured?

Yes, KOK Milieuopslagsystemen can manufacture bespoke HDPE bunds. Length, width, depth, containment volume and any grids are tailored to the application. This is useful when standard sizes do not fit or when specific packaging, pallets or IBCs need to be stored.

Can a sump be placed in a storage container?

Yes, additional drip trays can be placed in a pallet racking container, on all beam levels. This may be necessary to increase the total containment capacity or to keep certain substances better separated. The drip trays are then integrated into the racking and fitted with grates.

Can a drip tray help to store substances separately?

Yes, drip trays can help to keep substances separate. By using a separate drip tray per pallet, racking level or storage bay, you prevent leaked liquids from coming into contact with other substances. This is particularly important for substances that must not react with each other.

Can a sump pallet be moved with a forklift or pallet truck?

Yes, drip trays can be fitted with feet or a structure that allows them to be moved using a pallet truck or forklift. This is useful when storage needs to remain flexible or when the drip tray is part of a logistical process.

Does a drip tray need to be inspected or checked?

A drip tray must be regularly checked for leaks, damage, corrosion, contamination and sufficient free containment capacity. Whether a formal inspection is necessary depends on the application and the regulations within the company. For hazardous substances, periodic inspection is extra important.

Can KOK Milieuopslagsystemen manufacture custom-made spill pallets?

Yes, KOK Milieuopslagsystemen manufactures custom drip trays for environmentally hazardous substances. Dimensions, material, containment volume, grates, legs and application are tailored to the substances and packaging being stored. This creates a drip tray that is practical to use and complies with safety requirements.

What information is needed for advice on a drip tray?

For sound advice, factors such as the type of liquid, the quantity, the packaging, the desired containment volume, the dimensions, the location and the method of use are important. It is also relevant whether it concerns drums, jerry cans, pallets, IBCs or storage in a rack container.
