Liquid barriers for chemical storage area

The customer

Our client specialises in solvent recycling (e.g. solvents from glue), recovery of biotechnological solvents and special chemicals, mainly used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and paint industries.

Purpose

To store their chemicals, the client built an additional storage area outside. To accommodate any leaks from the chemicals, the entire site must - by law - be made completely liquid-proof.

Problem-solution

CGK Group installed two fully-automatic liquid barriers at the entrance and exit of the storage area
The barriers are equipped with compressed air and are each 3 metres long and 1 metre high.
By linking to the fire alarm centre, the fire brigade is automatically notified in case of fire.
