Unlocking Efficiency and Safety
In today’s fast-paced industrial world, efficient and safe fluid storage is paramount. Whether it’s to power multiple generators, fuel operations, or store large quantities of fluids without breaking the bank, self-bunded tanks might be the answer you’re looking for. These innovative tanks have helped our customers store anywhere from 1000L to 75000L of fuel in a safe, compliant, and cost-effective way across Africa.
What is a Self-Bunded Tank?
A self-bunded tank, also known as a double-walled tank, is essentially a tank within a tank. The inner tank holds the fluid, while the outer tank serves as a protective shell to prevent leaks or spills. The space between the inner and outer tanks serves as the bund and is 110% of the capacity of the inner tank eliminating the need for an external spill containment system. This design offers an added layer of security, ensuring that any potential leaks from the inner tank are contained within the outer tank, preventing environmental contamination and loss of valuable fluids.
Self-bunded tanks are ideal for storing various types of fluids, including diesel, petrol, lubricants, aviation fuel and oil. They are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Who Can Use These Tanks?
Self-bunded tanks are incredibly versatile and can be utilized across numerous industries. Here are some key applications:
- Mining and Construction: These industries often require large amounts of fuel to power heavy machinery and equipment. Self-bunded tanks provide a safe and efficient solution for on-site fuel storage.
- Agriculture: Farmers can store large quantities of diesel for their tractors and other equipment, ensuring they have a reliable fuel supply throughout the planting and harvesting seasons.
- Transport and Logistics: Companies in this sector can benefit from the ability to store substantial amounts of petrol and diesel to keep their fleets running smoothly.
- Industrial Operations: Any industry that requires the storage of large volumes of fluids, such as manufacturing and processing plants, can take advantage of self-bunded tanks.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Petroleum and diesel suppliers can significantly benefit from self-bunded tanks. These tanks ensure safe and compliant storage of large quantities of fuel, preventing spills and environmental contamination, and allowing for efficient distribution to various locations. For oil and gas operations, maintaining stringent safety standards and having reliable storage solutions is crucial, and self-bunded tanks meet these needs effectively.
How Can These Tanks Ensure Safety, Compliance, and Cost Efficiency?
Self-bunded tanks are designed to meet rigorous safety and compliance standards, making them a reliable choice for fluid storage. Our tanks are in line with UL142, AS standards, and SANS 10131, ensuring they meet all necessary regulatory requirements.
- Safety: The double-walled design minimizes the risk of leaks and spills, protecting both the environment and your investment. This design also reduces the risk of fire hazards associated with flammable fluids.
- Compliance: Adhering to industry standards ensures that your storage solutions are legal and up to code, avoiding potential fines and operational shutdowns.
- Cost Efficiency: By preventing leaks and spills, self-bunded tanks help reduce waste and save money. Their durable construction means they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan than traditional single-walled tanks.
Additionally, self-bunded tanks can be used as above-ground storage tanks, offering ease of access for maintenance and inspections. Their containerized design allows for easy transportation and installation, further enhancing their practicality and cost-effectiveness.
