SHS-Ultra-Self Bailer® Spill Containment Drainage System (Standard & Large Options)
Automatic Hydrocarbon Shut-Off Drainage System for Spill Containment Bunds
Overview
The Ultra-Self Bailer® is a reliable passive drainage system designed to safely remove clean water from spill containment areas while preventing hydrocarbons from escaping. It is ideal for outdoor bunds where rainwater accumulation can reduce containment capacity and compromise compliance.
This system uses advanced hydrocarbon-reactive filtration media that automatically seals when oils or fuels are detected. The internal polymer blend expands on contact with hydrocarbons, instantly stopping flow and preventing environmental contamination.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant PVC, the Ultra-Self Bailer is designed for long-term performance in harsh industrial environments. It operates without power, using a gravity-fed design that ensures continuous, low-maintenance operation in remote or unmonitored locations.
