Leak Detection Sensors for Double Wall Tanks

Leak detection is important when selecting a double wall tank because it helps to ensure the safety and integrity of the tank

Double wall tanks are designed to contain hazardous materials, such as chemicals, fuels, and other liquids that could be harmful to people and the environment if released. These tanks have two walls, an inner wall and an outer wall, with a space called the interstitial space between the walls. The interstitial space is used to detect leaks in the inner wall of the tank.

If a leak develops in the inner wall of the tank, the liquid stored in the tank will escape into the interstitial space, causing the level of liquid in the space to rise. Tank level sensors are used to monitor the level of liquid in the interstitial space and detect leaks early. If the level of liquid in the interstitial space rises above a certain point, it indicates that there is a leak in the inner wall of the tank.

Leak detection is important because it helps to ensure the safety and integrity of the tank. If a leak is not detected and repaired, the tank could release hazardous materials, posing a risk to people and the environment. For example, if the tank is storing a hazardous chemical, the release of the chemical could cause health problems or environmental damage.

Therefore, it is important to select a double wall tank that is equipped with an effective leak detection system. A leak detection system can alert operators to the presence of a leak, allowing them to take appropriate action to prevent the release of hazardous materials. This can help to protect people and the environment and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the tank.

Overall, leak detection is an important consideration when selecting a double wall tank because it helps to ensure the safety and integrity of the tank and prevent the release of hazardous materials. By choosing a tank with an effective leak detection system, you can help to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the tank.
