View source for Secondary Containment Pallet

=Basics=
*A Pallet, often made of a plastic such as [[HDPE]] that [[55 Gallon Drums]] or other containers can be placed upon such that if they leak it is contained (re [[Secondary Containment]] )
*Along with [[HAZCOM]] and [[Flammable Safety Lockers]] + Following Proper Storage Guidance (Not storing Oxidizers/Reactive Mixes with Fuels, watching out for [[Organic Peroxide Formation]] in relevant substances etc) their use makes up a core part of [[Safe Fuel Storage]] / [[Site Safety]]

*[https://www.uline.com/BL_8218/Spill-Containment-Workstations?keywords=Spill+Containment Uline’s Page on their Modular Spill Pallet System]
*For Home Use/Small Storage etc their Single or Double Drum Units COULD work
*( [[User: Eric]] Here) I have also seen for all the usual Automotive Fluids, as a part of [[Fleet Management]] ,  by the Breakroom / Where people stop to grab paperwork, having drums for [[Power Steering Fluid]] ,  [[Automatic Transmission Fluid]] ,  [[Motor Oil]] and the like
**Typically also [[DEF]] although getting that from the Pump may be better
***SUPPOSEDLY this is due to how poorly maintained DEF tanks can loose water and the [[Urea]] will start to crystallize MAJORLY messing up the [[SCR]] system etc
****BUT reputable truck stops etc should be good, and worse case scenario would a System Flushout with [[DI Water]] then fill with fresh fluid be all that is needed, or does more problematic stuff happen like Corrosion etc?
**[[Windshield Wash]] is also typically stored here but doesn’t NECESSARILY need as intense of spill containment etc (although it can’t hurt, especially for larger volumes)
**ANYWHO i have seen this done with one “ramp module” and a ton of those “2x1 Modules”
**The bonus room + “forkliftability” of the 2x2 Modules is worth it though.
**Also another thing to consider with [[Seccondary Containment is how much of a leak can you contain before it overflows
***Low Profile units tend to store less
***Ideally you would be able to contain everything, regulation is for a percentage of the largest tank if i remember correctly, and if you inspect stuff regularly you CAN get away with less
****Main thing is [[Murphy’s Law]] and all that

=Potential OSE Benefits=
*Using large format [[FDM 3D Printers]] such as the [[Cubic Meter 3D Printer]] etc, they can be produced at a far lower cost
*Also adding Industry Standard Connectors such as a 2in [[Cam-Lock]] Stainless Steel Fitting etc (and integrated drain features rather than it being a “flat pool” would make emptying + decontamination of the pallet far easier
*Having Wood or Metal “Skid Plates”, and Metal Forklift Slots, as well as other [[Design for Lifting]] features etc could also set OSE’s designs apart
*FINALLY the cost reduction alone (Multi-Hundred's of USD for most Off The Shelf options) is a reason for development of this
