Plastic, steel or stainless steel: Our "Facts about sumps" Q&A links below will tell you which sump is the right one for your needs.
What requirements must the sump fulfil?
The kind of material you wish to store will determine whether you need a plastic or a steel sump.
Galvanized or painted steel sumps are used to store water-polluting or flammable substances such as oil or paint.

Steel sump, hot-dip galvanized, with fork lift truck pockets and grid, for storing up to four 205-litre drums
|
PE or stainless steel sumps are used to store aggressive chemicals such as acids or alkalis. Stainless steel and polyethylene sumps are corrosion-resistant and thus suitable for storing aggressive media.

What requirements must the sump fulfil?
Do you need to store one drum, several drums or IBCs? Do you need to transport or dispense hazardous materials? Do you need to protect a larger surface area?
You will find tailor-made safety sumps for all areas of usage. Here are some examples:
Our dispensing stations consisting of steel (galvanized or painted) or synthetic sumps and polyethylene or galvanized steel drum mounts form an ideal combination for storing and dispensing water hazardous substances. Drips cannot fall to the ground, thus protecting ground water.

If you require the protection of a sump while transporting drums and small containers, you can use mobile PE sumps or steel sump carts to transport hazardous materials safely.

If you wish to prevent hazardous liquids from seeping into large areas of ground water, our steel or synthetic spillage decking will meet all your needs. The spillage decking can be used to cover the whole of the floor in a room due to the wide range of accessories available, from edge fasteners to ramps. The modular spillage decking meets the requirements of environmental regulations when storing empty containers, dispensing, re-filling or transferring potential water pollutants. Individual decking elements can be placed together, depending on customers' requirements to provide an optimal system.

How large should the sump be?
"The required sump capacity must conform to regulations: the sump must be able to hold 110% of the largest container stored or 25% of the total volume stored, whichever is the greater. As long as the storage conditions used in areas, where water needs to be protected, are regulation compliant, the whole of the quantity stored will be retained within the sump.
"
All DENIOS sumps are available in different sizes tailored to your company's specific needs while also complying with regulations regarding sump capacity. Our steel or plastic sumps can be used to store drums or containers and also available in mobile versions or as floor decking.
DENIOS supplies sumps in all sizes and for a whole range of uses - from sumps for small containers through to sump type WHW with a capacity of up to 1,350 litres and covering 11 m2.
