Spill containment system with a flexible corrosion-resistant liner
First Claim
1. A spill containment system for containing a spilled substance from a device, the spill containment system comprising:
- a plurality of containment rails that are resistant to damage from the spilled substance;
a plurality of mounts that mount the plurality of containment rails to one another to define an area;
a flexible liner placed within the area and having a base with a wall;
a material placed within the area and on the liner which absorbs the spilled substance; and
wherein the mounts permit the removal of at least one of the containment rails to expose the wall of the flexible liner so that the wall may be flexed.

Abstract
A spill containment system and method that contain leaks and spills from devices including but not limited to batteries. The system neutralizes and absorbs leaks and spills to prevent the leaks and spills from spreading. The system not only detects leaks, but also indicates whether a leak has occurred. The system can communicate with personnel or devices to raise an alarm or cause corrective measures to occur. The spill containment system includes a battery rack inside a battery rack cabinet having a door. To open the door and gain access to the batteries, one of the rigid containment rails is removed such that the exposed flexible corrosion-resistant liner may be flexed to permit the opening and closing of the door.
