TLD designed 3000 m3 Double Containment Storage Tank – One year in operation
The Double Containment Tanks are distinguished from the other tanks by having double shell and double bottom, in order to assure the environment protection in case of any spillage of the main tank. Usually, the secondary containment is assured by concrete dams, sealed (along with the soil substrate) with geomembrane, but there are stringent requirements for the capacity of the containment, so especially in the refineries, where space is not available, double shell tanks are the optimum solution.
One of our designed Double Containment Tanks, 3000 m3 capacity is in operation for more than one year now. The tank is operating in optimum parameters, just as it has been designed. It is used to store Raffinate.
