Underground storage tanks, also commonly known as USTs, are tanks used to store petroleum products and other chemicals or hazardous materials below the ground. USTs are typically constructed from steel or fiberglass and can have capacities ranging from a few hundred gallons to millions of gallons, depending on their use and the site they serve. USTs are subject to very rigorous safety guidelines, so they must be installed and maintained by a qualified petroleum services company like PumpTex. There are also specific guidelines for keeping USTs compliant and for decommissioning them when they are no longer required. As your chosen petroleum services company, PumpTex can support you in remaining compliant with this legislation, and we are able to supply, install, and service a variety of underground storage tank options.
Your UST will depend on your site's needs, and our sales team will happily talk you through the various options. However, let's start by briefly summarizing some of the underground storage tank options and their key features to help you make an informed decision.
The PERMATANK® is a double-wall jacketed underground storage tank option that has a steel tank paired with an additional corrosion-resistant containment unit. The inner tank and the outer shell are separated by unique material that helps create a more uniform interstitial space for fast, accurate leak detection. The steel inner tank offers structural integrity, while the fiberglass reinforced exterior wall helps prevent corrosion. Some of the key features of this particular UST model include the following:
The ACT-100® UST is a steel and fiberglass reinforced plastic composite tank featuring a steel tank to provide structural integrity and a 100-millimeter fiberglass outer shell that will protect the tank against corrosion. The double wall design on the ACT-100® allows continuous monitoring and interstitial leak detection. It also features a flat-end design that has reduced the cost of installation while offering more flexibility when it comes to the site's layout. Some of the key features that are associated with the ACT-100® model include:
The ACT-100-U® UST model has the same strong steel tank as the ACT-100®, which provides its structural integrity, but instead of the fiberglass reinforced plastic, the outer casing of the ACT-100-U® is a thick layer of urethane which offers long-lasting protection from corrosion. It also features the same flat-end design as the ACT-100® for lower-cost installation and flexibility of site layout. Some of the key features associated with the ACT-100-U® underground storage tank include:
The STI-P3® is a cathodically protected double-wall steel tank featuring a pre-engineered corrosion protection system for ongoing monitoring of corrosion protection. The STI-P3® system has become renowned for its reliable, long-term performance and is the first national UST corrosion control system with over 40 years of successful performance. Some of the benefits associated with the STI-P3® model include the following:
