Double wall diesel fuel oil storage tank

A double wall diesel fuel oil storage tank is designed with an additional protective layer to enhance safety and environmental protection compared to single wall tanks. Here are the key features and benefits associated with double wall diesel fuel oil storage tanks:
Dual Layers: The tank consists of an inner tank (primary container) that holds the diesel fuel and an outer tank (secondary container) that acts as a protective barrier. This double layer provides a safeguard against leaks and spills.
Leak Detection: Between the inner and outer walls, there is typically a space that can be monitored for leaks. Some tanks have built-in leak detection systems such as interstitial monitoring or alarms that activate if a leak is detected.
Environmental Protection: The secondary containment of double wall tanks helps prevent diesel fuel from leaking into the environment in case of a breach or failure of the inner tank. This is particularly important for compliance with environmental regulations.
Corrosion Resistance: Tanks are often constructed from materials such as steel with corrosion-resistant coatings or from non-corrosive materials like fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP). This helps ensure the longevity and structural integrity of the tank.
Compliance: Designed to meet regulatory standards for the safe storage of diesel fuel, including guidelines set by environmental agencies and industry standards for tank construction and leak prevention.
Capacity Options: Available in various capacities to suit different storage requirements, ranging from small tanks for residential or farm use to larger tanks for commercial or industrial applications.
Installation: Double wall tanks are typically installed by certified professionals according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and compliance with safety standards.
Monitoring and Maintenance: Regular monitoring of the tank's integrity and the interstitial space (if equipped with monitoring systems) is necessary to detect any potential issues early and prevent leaks.
Cost Considerations: While double wall tanks may have a higher initial cost compared to single wall tanks, the added protection and compliance benefits often justify the investment, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.
