Using disposable absorbents is often the traditional way to handle industrial spills, but it is rarely the most efficient. Whether you are dealing with oils, coolants, or chemical fluids, switching to a vacuum-based system like SPILLVAC® offers significant advantages.
Traditional absorbents, such as granules or mats, create a large volume of hazardous waste. Once used, they must be handled and disposed of according to strict regulations, which often leads to high disposal fees. With a wet vacuum pump, you eliminate the need for single-use materials. Instead of creating waste, you collect the fluid directly into a drum.
Cleaning up a large spill with granules is a time-consuming, multi-step process: spreading the material, waiting for absorption, sweeping it up, and then cleaning the residue. A SPILLVAC® system allows you to suction up fluids instantly. This reduces labor time and allows your team to return to their core tasks much faster.
Granules can be messy; they often leave behind a dusty residue or a slippery film on the floor, which increases the risk of slips and falls. Wet vacuum pumps remove fluids completely, leaving the surface much cleaner and safer. For sensitive environments, our ATEX-certified models ensure safe operation even where flammable liquids are present.
One of the biggest benefits of using a vacuum system is the ability to reclaim expensive fluids. Instead of soaking up costly coolants or lubricants into a mat to be thrown away, you can collect them and, in many cases, filter and reuse them in your production line. This not only saves money but also supports a circular and sustainable workflow.
By choosing SPILLVAC® over disposable absorbents, your facility takes a major step toward reducing its environmental footprint. Less waste, fewer transport movements for disposal, and the recovery of resources make it the responsible choice for modern industry.

What type of absorbent should I use for oil spills in water?
Oil-only absorbents are specifically designed to repel water while absorbing oil-based fluids. This makes them ideal for use in aquatic environments or where water separation is required.
Yes, universal absorbents are engineered to absorb a wide range of fluids, including oils, water-based solutions, and non-aggressive chemicals.
Absorbents should be stored in a dry location, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, to ensure their effectiveness remains intact when they are needed.
Used absorbents must be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations and guidelines to prevent contamination.
