What is a bunded container A bunded container is a storage unit designed with a secondary containment system to prevent leaks and spills of hazardous liquids. It consists of an inner tank or container that holds the stored substance and an outer bund that captures any leaks. The secondary containment can usually hold at least […]
What is a bunded tank A bunded tank is a type of storage tank designed with a secondary containment system, the bund, to prevent leaks or spills from escaping into the environment and creating safety risks. It consists of an inner tank that holds the stored liquid such as fuel, oil, or chemicals, and an […]
CEN standards provide a framework for quality, safety, and performance across a wide range of industries in Europe. This guide explains what CEN standards are, how they support regulatory compliance, and their role in chemical storage. What are CEN Standards? CEN standards, developed by the European Committee for Standardisation, ensure quality, safety, and interoperability across […]
Effluent tanks provide a reliable solution for the safe storage and containment of non-hazardous wastewater, sewage and trade effluent in commercial and industrial environments. What is an Effluent Tank? An effluent tank is a sealed waste storage tank designed to collect and hold liquid waste, usually from toilets, sinks, and industrial processes. These tanks are […]
