HERMEQ DACHSpill Kits
Spill kits are a mobile way to contain spills and manage leaks from plant, machinery, vehicles and stored liquids on site. Each kit holds absorbent pads and socks with a disposal bag, so a spill can be ringed, soaked up and bagged where it happens. For leaks under parked plant, the Plant Nappy in the wider range gives better environmental protection than a metal drop tray because it does not hold rainwater. HERMEQ supplies spill kits for oil and fuel, chemical, general purpose, AdBlue and body fluid spills, from bag kits and drum stations to wheeled bins and high capacity kits, held in permanent UK stock with nationwide delivery.

Oil and fuel, chemical or general purpose spill kits
The liquid at risk decides the kit, because each absorbent is made to take up a particular group of liquids.
Oil and fuel spill kits
Oil and fuel spill kits take up diesel, petrol, hydraulic and engine oil, oil-based solvents and other hydrocarbons. Their absorbents repel water, so they lift oil from a wet surface or a puddle and keep working in the rain without filling up with rainwater. That makes them the right kit for plant, generators and refuelling in the open.
Chemical spill kits
Chemical spill kits are for acids, alkalis, strong chemicals and solvents. They belong in chemical stores, laboratories, production areas and anywhere these liquids are decanted or dispensed.
General purpose spill kits
General purpose spill kits take up water-based and oil-based liquids alike, from coolants, antifreeze and water to oil, weak chemicals and solvents. They suit indoor mixed spills in workshops, warehouses and maintenance areas where several liquids are in use. Outdoors they soak up rainwater along with the spill, so an oil and fuel kit is the better choice in the open.
AdBlue spill kits
AdBlue is water based, so the absorbents in an oil and fuel kit will not take it up. Wherever AdBlue is stored or dispensed, usually beside the diesel tank or bowser, AdBlue spill kits sit alongside the oil and fuel kit.
Body fluid spill kits
The body fluid spill kit deals with blood, urine, vomit and faeces, using a powder that absorbs the fluid and kills harmful organisms to cut the risk of cross infection. It belongs in welfare units, first aid points and cleaning stores.
Spill kit bags, drums, wheeled bins and trolleys
Where the kit is kept decides its format, and the range runs from 10 litre bag kits to high capacity kits of 1,100 litres.
Spill kit bags
Bag kits are the most portable format, sized to travel in a van, a plant toolbox or the cab of a machine and to be carried to a spill by one person.
Spill kits with drip trays and flexi trays
A tray kit puts a catch tray and absorbents together for refuelling small plant, topping up a generator or decanting from a can.
Static drum spill kits
Static drum spill kits are fixed stations for workshops, refuelling areas and the set risk points on a site or depot, and do the job of a spill kit box or cabinet at the point of risk.
Wheeled bin and wheeled locker spill kits
Wheeled kits hold more absorbent than a bag and roll to the spill, which suits goods-in areas, bulk liquid delivery points and chemical stores. The wheeled locker spill kit is the compact option for a workshop or store corner. Wheeled bin spill kits come in three sizes, from a bin for a single store or plant compound up to the largest wheeled bin spill kits for delivery points where a whole container could be lost at once.
High capacity spill kits
High capacity spill kits are for bulk fuel and chemical storage and tank areas, where one failure can release hundreds of litres.
Construction site spill kits
Each spill risk on a site or depot comes down to the liquid, the location and the largest volume that could escape, and those point to the kit.
Plant, generators and refuelling points
Every machine and generator carries an oil and fuel kit, with a tray kit at the refuelling point. A spill kit responds once a spill has happened, so plant and generators standing for days also need containment underneath to catch slow leaks. The SpillTector drip tray kit sits under small plant, generators and tanks and holds the drip while work continues.
Fuel stores, chemical stores and goods-in
A store needs a kit matched to what is kept in it, within reach of the door, usually in one of the wheeled formats. Drums and IBCs themselves stand on drum and IBC spill containment, and the kit deals with whatever escapes during handling.
Forklifts and site vehicles
Forklift spill kits are compact hi-vis kits carried on the truck, in oil and fuel, chemical and general purpose versions, so a burst hydraulic hose in a yard or aisle is dealt with where it happens.
Tanker offloading and loading bays
A bulk delivery puts the largest volume at any one point on a site, so the bay holds a high capacity kit matched to the product delivered. Vehicle bunding mats go under road tankers while they load and unload, to catch a coupling or hose failure beneath the vehicle.
Spill kit contents and sizes
What a spill kit contains
Every kit in the range is built on the same core set of absorbent pads, absorbent socks and a disposal bag with a tie. Larger kits carry more of each, and some add a tray or a drain cover. Once used, a kit goes back into service with the spill kit refill packs made up for it, and loose pads and socks for topping up are in the spill absorbents range.
Sizing a spill kit to the risk
The litre rating is the volume of liquid a kit's absorbents take up. A kit is sized to the full contents of the largest container, fuel tank or delivery it covers, so a bowser needs a bigger kit than the jerry can filled from it.
Drain protection, bunds and plant nappies
A spill kit cleans up, while these products hold a spill back from drains and open ground or catch it under standing plant before it reaches the surface.
Drain covers and drain protectors
Socks hold a small spill off a gully, but heavier jobs such as tanker offloading call for one of the drain covers kept beside the kit and laid before work starts. The Plug Rug drain cover beds into rough or uneven ground in wet or dry conditions. The drain seal barrier diverts a flow away from a drain or towards a collection point, and drain protectors sit in roadside gullies to hold silt, debris and an oil sheen during groundworks.
Bundstrips, booms and bunding mats
The spill bundstrip kit builds a sealed bund on a hard floor around drums, tanks or a loading bay, and holds its shape when driven over. A spill land boom is filled with water and laid across open ground to stop a spill running downhill. Containment bunding mats and portable bunds give temporary secondary containment for oil, chemicals and contaminated water.
Plant nappies and plant mats
The Plant Nappy sits under mobile plant and machinery, and its liner can be squeezed out and reused. Plant spill mats and the EnviroPad spill pad turn oil and fuel into a solid inside the textile, which keeps the waste compact.
