Last year, the EPA released a study showing that 83% of ULSD
tank systems in the US contain moderate to severe corrosion. Many petroleum
system operators—perhaps including you—are left wondering about the
implications of that study, what they can do to mitigate and prevent corrosion,
as well as how to prepare for the new EPA
regulations which have a first major implementation date in October of
next year.
Visit us at PEI at the NACS Show next week in Booth 3319 in
the Fuel Equipment and Services Hall for detailed resources on these topics and
an expert opinion.
We did the field work for the EPA
corrosion study and are intimately familiar with the challenges your
fueling system faces. The same camera system that captured the video for the
EPA study—our proprietary TankCam® inspection process— is also available to your sites and requires no fuel removal or
manned entry. If you’re a large retailer, TankCam can help you identify which
aging tanks should be prioritized for replacement. In addition to the actual
video from the EPA study, in our NACS Booth you can also learn about our new
TankCam HD.
If you have fuel quality concerns: we offer solutions for a
clean tank including our TankCleanTM high pressure washing service paired with the
visual verification provided by a simultaneous TankCam inspection, FuelPureTM fuel purification
services, and fuel analysis, all with
how-to knowledge gained after 20 years of tank cleaning experience.
The heart of the new EPA regulations, set to take effect on
October 13, 2018, address secondary containment testing and UST site
inspections.
A dedicated Tanknology Division oversees Secondary
Containment Testing and Repairs to provide you with optimal
service. We have been testing secondary containment components since 2001 and
repairing sumps and under dispenser containment (UDC) systems since 2005, so
these are not new services to us by any means. Our full service secondary
containment testing program, including our Test Water Management Program,
lowers overall testing cost, reduces environmental risk, and utilizes
industry-leading technologies and methodologies compliant with PEI Recommended
Practices.
State and federal regulations will soon require a periodic
inspection, also called “Walkthrough Inspections,” on a monthly basis. Our Inspections
Division currently keeps more than 2000 sites in compliance to avoid regulatory
fines and violations.
Tanknology is the worldwide leader in UST tank testing and
petroleum site compliance. Partner with us and you’ll soon understand why.
