Spill Containment Pallet (Bunded Spill Pallet)

Safe Secondary Containment for Drums and IBC Tanks

A Spill Containment Pallet, also known as a Bunded Spill Pallet, is a secondary containment solution designed to safely store chemical drums, oil containers, and IBC tanks. It prevents accidental leaks, drips, or spills from spreading into the working environment, helping protect floors, drainage systems, and soil from contamination.

In industrial storage areas where liquids are frequently handled or transferred, bunded pallets provide an essential first line of spill control and environmental protection.

Product Structure & Working Principle

The bunded spill pallet is built with a raised loading platform and an integrated sealed sump base:

• Containers are placed on a strong upper grid platform

• Any leakage or overflow flows into the internal sump

• The sump safely retains liquid until it is manually drained

• Forklift pockets allow easy handling and relocation

This design ensures that even in case of container failure, the spilled liquid remains fully contained within the system.

FAQ

1. What is a Bunded Spill Pallet?

A Bunded Spill Pallet is a secondary containment system designed to safely store drums, IBC tanks, and hazardous liquid containers.

It collects leaks, spills, or accidental discharge before chemicals reach the ground, helping businesses protect the environment and comply with workplace safety requirements.

Our spill pallets are manufactured from high-quality polyethylene materials, providing excellent chemical resistance, durability, and long service life.

2. Why Do I Need a Spill Pallet for Chemical Storage?

Spill pallets provide an additional safety barrier between hazardous liquids and the surrounding environment.

They help businesses:

• Prevent soil and water contamination

• Reduce chemical spill risks

• Improve workplace safety

• Meet environmental compliance requirements

• Simplify spill management and cleaning

For industries handling oils, fuels, chemicals, and hazardous liquids, secondary containment is an essential safety solution.

3. What Does 110% Bund Capacity Mean?

The 110% bund capacity rule means that a spill containment system must hold at least 110% of the volume of the largest container stored inside it.

Example:

A 1000L IBC tank requires a bund capacity of at least:

1000L × 110% = 1100L containment capacity

The additional 10% provides safety protection against:

• Rainwater accumulation

• Overfilling incidents

• Sudden container failure

• Emergency response situations
  

4.Can Spill Pallets Be Used Outdoors?

• Yes.

• Outdoor spill pallets are designed for demanding environments including:

• Chemical storage yards

• Mining sites

• Construction projects

• Oil and gas facilities

• Warehouses

• For outdoor applications, we recommend covered spill pallets with:

• UV-resistant covers

• Steel support frames

• Weather protection systems

• These solutions help prevent rainwater accumulation inside the bund.

5.Can Polyethylene Spill Pallets Be Stacked?

Yes, polyethylene pallets can be stacked.

The safe stacking height depends on:

• Pallet load capacity

• Product weight

• Stability of stored goods

Under normal conditions, standard polyethylene pallets can support multiple layers of stacked goods when properly managed.

For unstable loads, additional stacking frames or reduced stacking height are recommended.
