Plastic sumps are manufactured from environmentally friendly polyethylene and have a high chemical resistance to acids and alkalis. Sumps are placed onto wooden pallets for storing drums or for transporting them within the workplace. One drum hoding 205 litres, and small containers can be placed directly into the sump without the use of a grid, but plastic sumps (PolySafe sumps) are equipped with either a galvanized or a polyethylene grid and are ideally used for storing more than one drum each holding 205 litres, or used together with a drum mount tu functions as a dispensing station.
