Leak Containment for Oil Spills

oil spill containment bermQuestion: Hello. I am looking for an oil spill containment berm or some other kind of economical containment system that I can use to contain any oil that spills from my storage tanks and other equipment. I frequently store oil and would like a temporary storage liner or containment vessel that could hold this kind of product in the event of a spill. Is there one you would recommend?

Answer: For the type of leak containment you are looking to achieve, items like the Aluminum Angle Spill Berm are a great choice. These berms can easily be created with highly resistant fabrics that can handle the nature of chemicals, oil, and various other hazardous materials. While all containment berms are designed to successfully contain liquids, the aluminum angle berm is particularly useful in this scenario as its walls contain sturdy aluminum angles.

The design of an aluminum angle berm has allowed it to be successfully used to hold, store and contain oil in the event of a spill. These berms feature a rigid wall exterior (made from aluminum angles), a high resistance liner, and a typically wall height of about one foot (1') to contain necessary amounts of oil.
