Secondary containment systems provide an additional layer of protection beyond primary containment systems. Primary containment systems, such as storage tanks or drums, are designed to directly hold hazardous materials.
Meanwhile, secondary containment systems serve as a backup, containing any leaks or spills that may occur if the primary system fails. Secondary containment systems typically consist of barriers like HPDE/RPE liners surrounding primary containers, preventing leaked or spilled material from reaching the environment.
