Reviewed Dry Cleaning - Spill and Leak Prevention OptionsFollowing are a list of options that have been reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. These options have worked at other facilities and may work at yours. |
||
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. |
