Modular and mobile waste and/or hazardous liquid containment and collection shower system
First Claim
1. A modular waste water and hazardous chemical containment and collection system comprising:
- a) at least one modular pan having a planar bottom surface, a multitude of vertically disposed walls integrally attached to the planar bottom surface at bottom edges of said walls, a multitude of horizontally and outwardly disposed ledge members, one ledge member integrally attached to each vertically disposed wall at a top edge of each wall and a multitude of downwardly depending lips, one lip integrally attached to each ledge member at an outer edge of said lip;
b) a horizontal plane of each modular pan defined by the pan planar bottom surface and the multitude of vertically disposed walls;
c) a drainage waffle inserted within each of the at least one modular pans, the drainage waffle covering the pan horizontal plane and having a plurality of recesses and protuberances defined by a top surface, a bottom surface and upwardly angled walls connecting said top and bottom surfaces, the drainage waffle having a height;
d) a work surface covering the top surface of the drainage waffle and having a plurality of liquid drainage holes formed throughout said work surface, said holes permitting liquids that contact said work surface to drain through said work surface and into an area of the modular pan containing the drainage waffle, the work surface having a thickness which when added to the height of the drainage waffle equals a height defined as the total height of layers, the total height of layers not exceeding the height of the multitude of vertically disposed walls;
e) a means for withdrawing liquids from the at least one modular pan;
f) a pump connected to said means for withdrawing liquids; and
g) a storage container connected to said pump for retaining liquids withdrawn by the pump and captured by the at least one modular pan.

Abstract
A waste water and hazardous chemical collection system is provided. The system includes a bottom pan having a plurality of vertically disposed walls, a multitude of outwardly horizontally projecting ledges and a plurality of downwardly depending lips. Each pan further includes a drainage waffle inserted within said pan. A work surface is applied to a top surface of said drainage waffle. A plurality of holes is formed in said work surface permitting any liquids that make contact to the work surface to drain there through and into an area of the bottom pan. A pump is connected to said pan for withdrawing liquids therefrom. The system includes a water source for each pan thereby creating a shower system.
