Liquids, storage secondary containment ASTs

A secondary containment AST to prevent contamination of our environment has become a necessity for all hazardous liquid storage, regardless of its chemical nature, in order to minimize liability and protect neighboring property. A number of different regulations exist, but the regulations with the greatest impact are fire codes and the US EPA spec rules for oil storage. 

Diked ASTs Fire codes dictate flammable and combustible liquid tanks have spill control in the form of dike, remote impounding, or small secondary containment tanks. The dike must contain the content of the largest tank to prevent hazardous liquids from endangering the public and property. Traditional bulk storage systems will include multiple tanks within a concrete or earthen dike wall.
