A bunded IBC is placed under the intermediate bulk containers to prevent leakage of chemicals or leakage contaminating the surrounding area.
There have been different factors, including the type of chemicals stored and also the circumstances in which the whole package will be used, which you should consider when going for the right IBC package for your basic needs.
Below we describe the most important issues to consider when deciding whether to use IBC bond to store your chemicals.
What kind of bund should you use?
It is a common misconception that steel IBC joints are more important than plastic ones. Plastic and steel are having their own basic benefits and you can use it according to the environment requirements. You should be considering what type of liquid or chemical you are about to store in it.
For example, plastic IBC bunds are recommended in facilities where harmful chemicals are stored. Chemicals that are more flammable should be stored in steel IBC bundles that have greater fire resistance than plastic bundles.
Another major detail which you should pay attention at is how to transport the bulk containers.
In situations where chemicals are lifted and transported using a forklift or other type of car, it is advisable to use steel IBC barriers or mobile IBC barriers.
When should you be replacing the IBC bund?
With the proper use, care and extra maintenance, chemical bunds are having a long life. It is recommended that you perform a visual integrity check each month to ensure the life of your IBC bundles.
In addition to checking the continuity of your bond, monthly checks can also help reduce the risk of leaks and leaks. Because many IBCs contain high-risk materials, you must have confidence in the integrity of the bond and its ability to contain chemicals.
Regular review of your IBC bonds also ensures compliance with your UK provision, Chemical Safety Act. The law requires all unions to pass the “Volume Integrity Test” at least every 3 years.
Conclusion
The use of storage bunded IBC in intermediate bulk containers ensures that any major leak or accidental leak is completely packaged.
If the leaks of the container are not fully protected, then these chemicals can completely damage the environment, along with the equipment, machinery or even the personnel.
Uncontrolled chemical leakage can also be very costly. If safety issues occur, it may be necessary to evacuate the equipment, which will cause production to stop. In addition, cleaning hazardous materials often requires external suppliers / consultants, which can be very expensive.
