Overpack drum assemblies are disclosed. The overpack drum assemblies include a container base and a lid that may be securely closed on the base within a range of acceptable closure positions that may be visually indicated. The lid may include at least one leverage bracket for receiving a bar or other leverage tool that facilitates tightening and loosening of the lid. The container base may include at least one indented anti-rotation notch to help secure the container base against rotation during tightening or loosening of the lid. An anti-rotation fixture may be used to resist rotation of the container base.

Portable collapsible fluid containment devices are disclosed comprising sidewall support braces that rotate from a collapsed generally horizontal position to a raised generally vertical position and lock into place. The sidewall braces may be attached to at least one sidewall of the containment device, and when raised support the sidewall in a fluid containment configuration. The sidewall braces comprise a base support leg, a sidewall support arm rotatably mounted on the support leg, and a locking tab for holding the sidewall support arm in the generally vertical position.

Collapsible fluid containment devices with locking sidewall braces

A drum band assembly for securing a lid to a drum. The drum band assembly includes a band having a first free end and a second free end and an attachment device connected to the band, wherein the attachment device is adapted for removably attaching the band to the drum. The drum band assembly further includes a lid mounting device attached to the lid and the band, wherein the lid mounting device is adapted to allow the lid to open and close on the drum.

A catch basin is provided for insertion into a pre-existing storm drain connected to a storm drain system, the storm drain having a shoulder around its upper periphery for supporting a pre-existing, perforated storm drain cover. The catch basin selectively controls the flow of liquids and viscous materials into the storm drain system, and includes a flexible, fluid impermeable container extendable into the storm drain with its edges extendable over the storm drain shoulder about the periphery thereof. The flexible, fluid impermeable container includes a drain hole providing an outlet to the storm drain system. A rigid valve member is attached to the flexible, fluid impermeable container and is configured to selectively open and close the drain hole. The rigid valve member includes a vertically extending wall surrounding the drain hole and extending upward therefrom a distance h to define an opening. With the drain hole open, liquid accumulating in the flexible, fluid impermeable container will not pass through the drain hole until the liquid rises to a level exceeding the height h of the vertically extending walls surrounding the drain hole. The catch basin further includes a plurality of vertically extending leg members attached to the rigid valve member, with each of the plurality of vertically extending leg members having a horizontally extending flange engagable the storm drain shoulder on top of the flexible, fluid impermeable container to maintain the catch basin within the storm drain.

A cover for an open head hazardous waste container. The open head container is of the type having a container body that is constructed of elongated side walls and an end wall which border and define a container body cavity. The open head container further being of the type in which the cover is secured to the container body by a bolt ring that is secured around the cover and the container body. The cover has a housing with a passage provided therethrough. The housing also has a sealing portion that is sealably engageable to the container such that the housing passage is connected to the container body cavity. A hinge is then provided upon the housing, and a lid is movably connected to the hinge. The lid is sealable with the housing, and movable about the hinge through open and closed positions. When the lid is in the open position, the housing passage is uncovered. When the lid is in the closed position, the lid is in sealed engagement with the housing. A lock is used to secure the lid into air-tight engagement with the housing. The lock is preferably one or more clamps provided around the lid at the housing first end. A first gasket is provided between the housing and the container body. A second gasket is provided between the lid and around the housing opening.

Open head container cover

A vented funnel for a closed head hazardous waste container. The container is of the type having side walls and opposed upper and lower end walls. The side walls and end walls of the container border and define a cavity which opens at an opening at the upper end wall. The funnel has a housing with a passage running through the housing. A lid is movably connected to the funnel housing through open and closed positions, in which the lid is configured to create a liquid and airtight seal within the funnel housing when in the closed position. One or more vent lines having openings at opposite ends thereof are disposed within the funnel housing passage. A drum coupling is then connected to the funnel housing and is connectable to the drum. The coupling has an interior surface bordering and defining a passage, wherein the coupling passage connects to the housing passage. One or more vent passages are disposed through the coupling, in which each such vent passage is connected at one end to a vent line, and open at an opposite end along an exterior surface of the coupling.

An apparatus for removing grease from a compartmental grease trap that has water provided therewithin so that grease forms a layer atop the water in the trap. The apparatus has a mounting portion that is securable to the grease trap and a housing portion pivotally connected to the mounting portion. A filter media is then secured by the housing portion. The housing portion is preferably constructed from a framing structure and an inner structure. The framing structure has two sets of opposed sidewalls and a perforated or mesh bottom sheet that allows water to pass therethrough. The inner structure is separably secured to the framing structure, such as by pivotal connection and the filter media is preferably held between the inner structure and the framing structure. The inner structure is capable of being locked into position with respect to the framing structure by a locking device. The housing portion may be caused to pivot relative to the mounting portion such as by a linkage, preferably a solid rod, connected at one end to the housing portion and accessible at an opposite end by an operator.

Mutli-stage grease trap filter and skimmer

A spill deck module includes a substantially planar bottom wall, a pair of opposing side walls and a pair of opposing end walls which form an interior chamber. Each side wall and end wall includes an aperture allowing fluid communication between adjacent modules. Initially, the side wall and end wall apertures are closed by a removable sealing assembly. When a number of modules are desired to be arranged to form a composite spill deck, the sealing assemblies in adjacent modules are removed and replaced with module connection assemblies allowing fluid transfer between adjacent modules. A deck grating either rests on the bottom surface of the spill deck or rests on top of ribs provided in each module. The grating forms a continuous spill deck for support of containers of hazardous or non-hazardous liquid materials in various configurations using different combinations of the spill decks.
