Spill containment buckets are designed to prevent petroleum products from being
released into the environment in the event of a spill or overfill. Over time, exposure to
fuel and weather can cause containment buckets to deteriorate and become a source of
leaks which are often overlooked. Recognizing this possibility, several oil companies now
require annual testing of spill containment buckets. According to the requirement, the
spill containment bucket must be capable of containing the stored substance until it is
detected and cleaned up so that contaminants do not migrate into soils or drinking water.
Innovative
Tanknology has developed an innovative test that verifies that the spill containment
buckets continue to perform according to manufacturer specifications and are able to
prevent the release of product into the environment. Utilizing Tanknology’s exclusive
testing technology provides extremely accurate results at a low cost and without the
generation of hazardous waste. Other test methods generate waste by-products
that require special handling, resulting in higher test costs. The superior accuracy of
Tanknology’s testing technology allows for detection of even the smallest leaks in the spill
containment bucket that could be missed by other testing technologies.
