Waste collection
Most laboratory accidents occur when emptying jerrycans full of waste liquid. These are often low-viscosity solvents, making transfer difficult. Furthermore, the waste container is often located in a tight space and has a poor connection. Factors that further exacerbate the situation, make it more unsafe, and inefficient include:
Multiple tubes in 1 cap.
Kinking hose when loosening and tightening the cap.
Caps with a hole in them.
Drip trays of an awkward size or too little volume.
Worn parts such as a screw thread that is no longer fluid-tight.
Unsealed or leaking hoses.
Hoses that need to be at a certain angle for drainage purposes.
Poor visibility of the situation due to insufficient space or lack of light.
These are some examples of situations that will sooner or later lead to a safety incident.
"Safety is expecting the unexpected"
Satiata has the solution for this. Since January 30, 2025, we have been a certified installer of the Symline system from SCAT . This laboratory waste system addresses the often awkward situations involving hazardous substances, ensuring you can handle liquids safely and in a controlled manner in the laboratory. Below are some examples:
The Symline system can be integrated into safety cabinets, such as those under fume hoods. A connection to the extraction system is available for this purpose. This eliminates the need for a filter, which can contribute to lower costs. Satiata also supplies Asecos safety cabinets.
