Abstract
A liquid spill containment system inserted into an open airflow structure such that minimum interference with existing airflow occurs while simultaneously directing liquid spill particles into spill containers. A deflector is located below an upper partition portion of the open airflow structure. Spill containers are positioned below the deflector. The deflector and containers are located with respect to each other such that liquid particles coming through the open airflow structure are directed by the deflector into a container while, simultaneously, airflow entering the open air structure is exited unimpeded.
