The following tests were conducted at the Safespill Testing Facility

Tank Truck Valve Failure Spill Demonstration

There are 4″, 3″, and 2″ valves and hoses to demonstrate a tank truck valve failure on our Safespill flooring system.

Dropped Wing Tank Simulation

This test simulates what happens when a wing tank full of JP-4 (66% kerosene & 33% gasoline) instantly releases ignited jet fuel on the Safespill flooring system.

Client Commissioning Spill Detection Test

Sound on! Hear our pumps activate in under 15 seconds to remove spilled liquids into an external containment tank.

No chance of a pool fire.
No chance of accidental discharge.
No environmental liability.

This demonstration was performed at Safespill’s newly installed “wall to wall” quality control lab application for a major player in the medical device industry.

3D Kerosene Fire Test

We performed a 3D kerosene fire test on the Safespill flooring system compared to a containment pad.

Alcohol Fire Test Comparison

For this test, we spilled 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of alcohol on the Safespill flooring system and immediately ignited it, we did the same on a steel containment pad to compare. Since alcohol flames are invisible, we used a thermal imaging camera to capture the activity. (The floor’s internal flushing system was not activated for this test.)

IBC Lateral Discharge

Our IBC storage unit safely stores flammable and combustible liquids in composite IBCs and accounts for the lateral discharge of the spilled liquid.

IBC Flare-Up Fire Test

The video below is a re-creation of an unexpected event that occurred during testing. We are fully aware that companies wouldn’t purchase our system to store empty IBCs, but we feel it is our responsibility to share this with fire protection engineers and EHS professionals.

Tote vs. Forklift

Forklifts piercing totes is one of the most common accidents in industries dealing with environmentally hazardous and ignitable liquids. We conducted this test to demonstrate how the Safespill system can mitigate the effects of a spill like this.

Safespill Flushing Manifold

The flushing manifold is integrated in the floor and sprays a small stream of water through each channel of the floor. The purpose of the streams is to accelerate the flow of the spilled liquid out of the floor and into the trench.

AFFF Grate Nozzle System v. Safespill

This side-by-side comparison shows activation time and fire out time, using the Ocean grate nozzle foam test. This system is primarily used for Navy hangar applications, and the Safespill floor has solutions for naval grate nozzle systems.

Hi-Ex Foam System v. Safespill

This is a side-by-side comparison of a Hi-Ex foam system v. the Safespill floor. Fire out time is 1:29 for the Safespill floor. The Safespill fire test (on the right) was performed for the U.S. military in September 2019. Hi-Ex fire test performance videos, to the best of Safespill’s knowledge, are not publicly available.

All 5 FMEA Demonstrations

These are Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs) of our Safespill floor:

1. Sand accumulation on floor simulating 8-hour shift in the Iraqi desert
2. Sand accumulation floor simulating 8-hour shift in the Iraqi desert and then swept into channels of floor
3. Disabled flushing manifold
4. A spill of 5-gallons of viscous hydraulic fluid (ISO 32)
5. Blockage of holes using a 5-foot by 2-foot (1.5-meter by 0.6-meter) Viton® mat

Safespill IBC Storage Unit Development Testing

Safespill performed a series of testing to develop the Safespill IBC Storage Unit (ISU). Some of the testing included varying IBC configurations, gallons of kerosene in the IBC, PSIs, and sprinkler head types and locations. The final 2 tests, out of the 5 shown in this video, show the static 100 PSI and 3 sprinkler types used in current applications.
