Leak Detection For Double Walled Tanks: It’s The Law
Double walled tanks, also known as interstitial tanks, are tanks that have two walls with a space (interstitial space) in between. The purpose of this space is to provide an additional layer of protection against leaks or spills of the liquid stored in the tank. Double wall tanks are used in a variety of industries, including chemical, oil and gas, and environmental management.
When selecting a leak detection sensor for double walled tanks, it is important to consider the type of liquid being stored, the environment in which the tank is located, and the desired level of sensitivity. For many corrosive chemicals, polyethylene plastic tanks are the best choice as they are resistant to many chemicals and can withstand high temperatures.
The Levelpro leak detection sensors are excellent for double wall piping systems as they are highly accurate and reliable. They have the ability to detect leaks in the interstitial space and alert the user with a visual and audible alarm when a leak occurs. The ProAlert Audible VIsual Alarm is important because it allows the user to detect a leak as soon as it happens, which can prevent environmental damage and minimize the risk of injury.
Double wall tanks are also used in chemical applications, it is important to select a leak detection sensor that is compatible with the chemical being stored and can withstand any chemical reactions that may occur. The LeakPro series of leak detection equipment can be customized for chemical applications, to provide accurate and reliable leak detection and protection against environmental damage.
In summary, double walled tanks are tanks that have two walls with a space in between, used to provide an additional layer of protection against leaks or spills. Choosing the right leak detection sensor for double wall tanks is important to consider the type of liquid being stored, the environment, and the desired level of sensitivity. For many corrosive chemicals, polyethylene plastic tanks are the best choice. The Levelpro leak detection sensors are excellent for double wall piping systems. The ProAlert Audible VIsual Alarm is important for a quick response when a leak occurs, to prevent environmental damage and minimize the risk of injury.
