FTI Air's SPILLSTOP accessory is a fully pneumatic system that captures leaked product from a diaphragm failure and automatically shuts the pump down — a purpose-built response to a diaphragm rupture going undetected, the most common AODD failure mode.
A diaphragm rupture on an acid or base transfer line doesn't announce itself until product is already on the floor — FTI Air's SPILLSTOP exists because catching that failure mechanically, not by an operator noticing a puddle, is the difference between a maintenance ticket and a spill report.
