Solvent Spill Contained During Emergency, Filtration System Deals with
Contaminated Water
Rain for Rent greeted with police escort
While in Bakersfield, CA, one of our Baton Rouge Sales staff received a
call from the Environmental Unit Manager at a major Chemical Plant
asking “how fast he could get to the plant?” He had an emergency and
needed help immediately! After a phone call to his office, another staff
member was dispatched, who responded to the call so fast that it really
impressed the customer!Upon arrival, led by a police escort to the site, plant personnel were up in
arms, a major solvent spill that was contained in a sump area was about to
overflow because of heavy rains. Taking charge, 3 frac tanks, a
DV-100, hoses
and
Spillguards were ordered. Excellent branch support hooked up the system and
began pumping the contaminated water off the bottom of the sump into the frac
tanks, while plant personnel recovered solvents off the top of the sump.
With the emergency situation under control, a plan was developed to treat
the contaminated water. The following week, Rain for Rent Baton Rouge
set up a filtration system utilizing 4 additional tanks, 1-3" diaphragm
pump, a BF-400, and 2 carbon units and began filtering the contaminated
water. The water was filtered, tested and discharged … exceeding the
customer’s expectations.
