Nonylphenol: Chemical Leak Spill During Transport
HazChem Environmental recently responded to a chemical leak spill of nonylphenol that occurred when screws sticking out of the trailer wall punctured the 275-gallon tote, contaminating the inside of the trailer. This chemical leak required a quick response, and HazChem technicians deployed rapidly.
NP/NPEs, also known as nonylphenols and nonylphenol ethoxylates, are nonionic surfactants, or detergent-like substances, with uses that lead to widespread release into aquatic environments. NP/NPEs are highly toxic to aquatic life. NPs/NPEs, which are produced in large volumes, are used for industrial processes and in consumer laundry detergents, personal hygiene, automotive, latex paints, and lawn care products, according to the EPA.

See our process below:
The HazChem technicians crew donned level “C” Tyvek suits with air purifying respirators to work with UN3145 nonylphenol. Our crew staged the damaged tote raised above a new 330-gallon poly tote, attached a tote transfer kit to both, to allow a gravity feed of the chemical leak spill contents.
The crew measured the impacted area to be 2’x3’ and deployed oil dry into it, for absorption.
Once it was completed, our technicians placed the placards and labels on the new tote and utilized the Sawzall to cut up the metal cage and the poly tote.
The remnants of the emptied tote and the impacted oil dry were placed into two 55-gallon OTS drums, to be disposed of as waste.
HazChem Environmental emergency response completed the chemical leak spill remediation, and doffed their PPE and put them into the designated drum, for waste. This spill generated two waste drums; sealed, properly labeled, and kept on-site.
