The Chemical Drum Sumps and Bunds category covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. The practical choice therefore depends on material compatibility, fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories. As part of the Laboratory Safety and PPE range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Chemical Drum Sumps and Bunds Range
Our collection covers when a grid for collecting tray, bohlender b.safe trays for large drums, choosing the right capacity for spill containment, and benefits of a zinc-plated asecos tray, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
When a grid for collecting tray
Trays like the Asecos KTC Station with a painted grid allow containers to sit above any potential spills, keeping the exterior of the drum clean and facilitating easier spill identification. Key differences are usually found in material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Bohlender b.safe trays for large drums
The b.safe trays we stock range from 10L to 25L, making them ideal for benchtop containers or smaller canisters. For large industrial drums, laboratories should consider the higher-capacity Asecos KTC stations. Before ordering, compare fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Choosing the right capacity for spill containment
Standard safety protocols often require secondary containment to hold at least 110% of the largest container's volume or 25% of the total volume stored; ensure your Bohlender or Asecos selection meets these local requirements. Key differences are usually found in inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. In practice, this supports efforts to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Benefits of a zinc-plated Asecos tray
Zinc-plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability for Asecos KTC trays, making them particularly suitable for harsh industrial environments where aggressive chemical exposure is likely. Key differences are usually found in replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. In practice, this supports efforts to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a grid for my collecting tray?
Trays like the Asecos KTC Station with a painted grid allow containers to sit above any potential spills, keeping the exterior of the drum clean and facilitating easier spill identification. Laboratories should compare replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are Bohlender b.safe trays suitable for large drums?
The b.safe trays we stock range from 10L to 25L, making them ideal for benchtop containers or smaller canisters. For large industrial drums, laboratories should consider the higher-capacity Asecos KTC stations. Laboratories should compare replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use and document the selected setup for consistent use.
How do I choose the right capacity for spill containment?
Standard safety protocols often require secondary containment to hold at least 110% of the largest container's volume or 25% of the total volume stored; ensure your Bohlender or Asecos selection meets these local requirements. For drum sumps and bunds, also check replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use so the product fits the complete procedure.
What is the benefit of a zinc-plated Asecos tray?
Zinc-plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability for Asecos KTC trays, making them particularly suitable for harsh industrial environments where aggressive chemical exposure is likely. For drum sumps and bunds, also check replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use so the product fits the complete procedure.
Which specifications matter most when comparing drum sumps and bunds?
The most important points are replacement and storage, identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Before ordering, confirm replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
