Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity is required for spill containment systems?
EPA SPCC rules require containment capacity equal to the largest single container plus sufficient freeboard for precipitation, or 10% of total container volume, whichever is greater. Our designs meet these requirements and can exceed them for additional protection or local regulations.
What materials are used for spill containment systems?
Roben Mfg fabricates containment from carbon steel with protective coatings, stainless steel, concrete with chemical-resistant coatings, or FRP depending on contained materials. All containment materials are compatible with potential spill substances and environmental exposure.
How is accumulated water managed in spill containment systems?
Our containment systems include provisions for rainwater management including sump pumps with oil-water detection, manual drain valves with inspection procedures, and covered designs that minimize water accumulation. Drainage procedures are documented to support SPCC plan requirements.
