What equipment is suitable for recovering the oil that leaks or spills on the floor of the solvent extraction workshop?

During the production process in the solvent extraction workshop, it is inevitable that some solutions or organic substances may leak or spill, resulting in localized accumulation of oil and liquid on the workshop floor (such as epoxy self-leveling floors or granite surfaces). Manual cleaning results in extremely low collection efficiency and poor outcomes. Especially on the second floor of the workshop, where no drainage ditches have been provided, cleaning becomes even more difficult. I’d like to ask the experienced experts here: are there any items that make it easier to collect things? 1. Equipment such as pneumatic diaphragm pumps and hose pumps features hoses at the inlet and outlet, and requires either electricity or compressed air to operate, making it inconvenient to move around ; 2. Floor sweepers and cleaning vehicles are inconvenient for collecting and handling solutions and organic solvents, and they can easily damage the internal motors. I was wondering if any experts have any recommended good devices? I would be very grateful for any recommendations!

It’s probably only the people at all levels of society who can afford granite floors. The main reasons lie in problems with process design and process control. Hardware issues are serious problems that no one can solve; the fault lies with those responsible for the design, who did not consider things thoroughly enough. Source control is the best way to manage such issues. Since it’s not possible to resolve problems at the hardware level, solutions can be sought at the software level by improving process management to ensure stability. This requires qualified personnel – at the very least, those who are proficient in the relevant processes in order to prevent problems before they occur. Of course, it cannot be completely avoided. One approach is to use the diaphragm pumps and peristaltic pumps you mentioned, or to employ vacuum systems for recovery. As for how to carry out this recovery, it’s something that can be considered through design and innovation.
