Benefits Of Portable Spill Containment Berms

By Linda Ruiz


Holding bags are mainly used to keep liquids and gases. In most gases, the things that are stored in them are corrosive; therefore, storing these substances inside the bags ensures that the contents do not spill. In the end, it is a measure of conserving the environment. Fuel cylinders and drums as well as oil filled bags are good examples of such movable containers. Using portable spill containment berms goes a long way to ensure that the environment is not polluted.

They are specially designed to be durable, heavy duty and corrosion resistant. This is because they will be used and moved often or may be handled carelessly. However, in their manufacturing process, there are various factors put into consideration, such as their width and length as well as the desired height size. Other features may come in fitting of the logo.

Secondary movable bags are installed on electricity transformers. This is especially if the transformers are huge and supply power to a large geographical location. They are used to hold oil spills as well as petroleum products used in the the faulty transformers. They ought to be placed on transformers as a safety requirement as well as avoid the pollution of soil through leaks.

Geotextile barriers are used by many electric power plants from various parts of the world. This is an improvement from the traditional holding containers which were mainly of a lower quality. Geotextile containers filter out water and oil which may have leaked. This comes in handy in preventing the substance from flowing out of the container. It also helps in sealing off any other substance from getting in the reserved area or from flowing out of it. They are affordable. Hence they cut on costs which could have been spent in cleaning oil spills.

Depending on the environmental requirements of a given area, they are designed to fit different conditions. Strong rubber and geotextile material is used in their designing process. They are especially used when transporting oil by water. They preserve marine life from leaks as well as the navigable waters. Clean beaches are also got through such preservation measures.

Most companies in the manufacture of hazardous liquids and gases have adopted the use of such secondary polythene bags. They are essentially made to look like basins for holding such matter. Franking companies use such bags to hold water and other liquefied matter that is the end product of processes such as distillation. Contaminated water usually arising from drilling of boreholes is held by such bags.

There are various types and shapes of these containers. However, the l shape is the most common one. This is because it is less costly and it consumes less space. Little time is required to assemble it as well. Therefore, they are convenient and stiff large amounts of products. One such example is the interlocking bag which can be connected to collect the flowing liquid.

Movable secondary cylinders and bags are vital for the daily handling of poisonous gases and liquids. Most of them are easy to install as well as use. They offer a valuable service when correctly used. They ought to be subjected to various tests before being put to use such as their ability to hold dense liquids and gases without bursting.
