Reviewed Dry Cleaning - Spill and Leak Prevention Options
Options below have reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and implemented
for facilities. |
| |
| Check Hoses |
| Check hoses, couplings, pumps, valves and gaskets
frequently in order to detect leaks. Make repairs promptly. |
| |
| Material Handling |
| Take special care when handling your cleaning materials
to prevent spills. You'll avoid costly clean up. |
| |
| Know your solvent needs |
| Know how much solvent your machine normally uses. If
solvent use suddenly increases, find out why. Not knowing
the answer may be costly (machine repairs, hazardous
waste clean up). |
| |
| Cover your containers |
| Keep all containers covered to prevent evaporation and
spillage. |
| |
| Secondary Containment |
| Provide secondary containment in areas where solvents
are stored. Small leaks will not become more costly spills. |
