Liquid Collection Tank Regulations and Capacity Calculation in Liters
Legislative Decree 19.05.1999 n°152 for the protection of water, subsequently amended by the subsequent Legislative Decree 2000 n. 258, establishes that the minimum capacity in litres of each containment tank must be: equal to the volume of the largest container stored and in any case never less than 1/3 (equivalent to 33%) of the total volume.
Attention: if the storage of polluting and hazardous substances takes place in a groundwater protection zone then the collection tank will have to have a capacity equal to the entire stored volume in litres (100%).
Example: Two 200-liter drums, one 30-liter can, and one 60-liter drum must be stored. The total stored volume is 490 liters, of which 33% is 161,7 liters. However, considering that the largest container stored is the 200-liter drum, the tank must contain at least 200 liters to comply with the regulations.
For mandatory regulations in other countries, it is always advisable to check with the competent authorities or request a free consultation from Sall experts.
How to Choose a Steel Collection Tank? A Guide to Indoor Storage of Hazardous Substances
What type of liquid will the steel collection tank contain?
- Per flammable liquids, water pollutants Steel collection tanks are recommended.
- i powder coated steel models o galvanized They are in fact non-combustible and are therefore always the best choice in the case of flammable substances such as paints or oils.
- Per acids e corrosive liquids are recommended steel tanks with internal anti-acid coating (polypropylene or polyethylene), le tubs entirely made of polyethylene or the containment tanks in stainless steel. Steel tubs with internal plastic lining are the more durable and resistant acid solution.
- Stainless steel or polyethylene tanks are available upon request.
Will they be used for drums and other small containers or 1000 litre IBC tanks?
- Depending on the type of container of the substance and the number of barrels o 1000 litre tanks which will be stored varies the capacity of the tank in litres. Sall's complete lines of drum trays and IBC trays offer models with adequate capacity for every typical industrial need and containment basins are created Tailored to special needs according to customer specifications.
How do you calculate the collection volume, also called capacity in litres, that the tank must have by law?
- The rule requires the total volume in litres of the stored substances divided by 1/3 but in any case always at least equal to the volume in litres of the largest container stored on the tank.
- E.g.: if I have to store 1500 litres of hazardous substances then 1/3 of 1500 litres = 500 litres but if the largest container has a capacity of 500 litres then, given that the capacity of the largest container is 500 litres, the tank must have a capacity of at least 500 litres.
In the case of 1000 litre IBCs the minimum collection volume in litres must always be NOT less than 1000 litres.
It is always advisable to check the current regulations for foreign countries with the competent authorities or to request a free consultation from experts.
