Secondary containment systems prevent leaks and spills by providing an additional layer of protection around storage tanks, drums, or other containers. These typically consist of a barrier such as HDPE/RPE liners. These liners are designed to be impermeable to stored substances. This ensures that even if a primary container fails, the hazardous material is contained.
Secondary containment systems may incorporate features such as leak detection systems, automatic shut-off valves, and monitoring equipment to quickly identify and address any leaks or spills, minimizing environmental damage and ensuring regulatory compliance.
