Jacketed Steel Tanks <br />In response to the need for an environmentally safe <br />underground storage tank, Jacketed Steel Tanks <br />were developed. They have the strength of steel with <br />an air tight jacket which provides 3600 secondary <br />containment and corrosion protection. Both the tank <br />and the secondary containment jacket cavy a U.L <br />listing. They are available nationwide in a variety of <br />standard sizes, with accessories to accommodate <br />secondary containment of tank fittings, pumps and <br />associated piping. <br />Primary Steel Tank <br />A U.L 58, steel underground storage tank has <br />always been considered the strongest and most <br />chemically compatible tank you can buy. Fitted with <br />a Tank Jacket', it is completely isolated and pro- <br />tected from corrosion causing chemicals, bacteria <br />and electrical ground currents which may be <br />present in the surrounding environment On the <br />inside of the steel tank, striker plates are installed <br />under each opening to eliminate internal gauge - <br />stick impact corrosion. We feel so strongly about this <br />corrosion protection system, we offer a 30 year <br />warranty against failure, due to corrosion. <br />Double Wall Design <br />A Jacketed Steel Tank consists of a secondary <br />containment jacket, called the Tank Jacket°, which <br />is applied to a steel underground storage tank at the <br />factory. This application creates a unique double <br />wall tank, with a steel inner wall for structural strength <br />and a semi-rigid outer wall which has excellent <br />impact and puncture resistance. The Tank Jacket <br />is separated from the steel tank by a special grid to <br />create the annular space. Each end of the tank has <br />a monitoring column and access fitting for <br />installation of a leak detection sensor. <br />Secondary Tank Jacket , <br />A product of years of development and testing, the <br />Tank Jacket" has proven to be a safe and effective <br />means of secondary containment and corrosion <br />protection for steel tanks. It is made of a thick, 100 <br />mil., high density polyethylene (HDPE), a dielectric, <br />non -corrosive and chemically resistant material <br />which has a proven history of stability in under- <br />ground applications. It is compatible with petroleum <br />fuels, methanol, ethanol, as well as many other <br />chemicals. All Tank Jacket*m seams are thermo <br />welded to provide an air testable container around <br />the entire steel tank. <br />
