ConVault: How It's Engineered
ConVault UL 2085 Aboveground Tanks: Engineered for Safety
1. Aboveground
The ConVault fuel storage system is not subject to underground storage
tank regulations for petroleum based products, chemicals or hazardous
wastes.
2. Complete
Turn-Key System
Over 30,000 customized, turn-key systems have been installed nationally.
Tanks are delivered ready to use--no waiting. ConVault fuel
storage systems are manufactured under strict quality control standards.
There is no need for excavation, dikes, painting or on-site assembly.
3.
Long Life Guarantee
ConVault tanks come with a 20 or 30 year warranty. The steel tank is
isolated from the concrete encasement to assure corrosion protection.
4.
Fire Protection
ConVault's seamless, six-inch reinforced concrete enclosure provides
two-hour fire protection for the primary tank as per U. L. Standard
2085, Insulated Secondary Containment Aboveground Tank for Flammable and
Combustible Liquids, Protected Type with Vehicle Impact and Projectile
Resistance.
5.
Secondary Containment Design
A high performance, 30 MIL high density polyethylene membrane encloses
the primary tank and provides secondary containment. This unique design
provides Emergency Venting for Secondary Containment by
Form-of-Construction according to U. L. Standard 2085 and has
"testable" secondary containment.
6.
Leak Detection
Through tank leak detection design assures that the interstice may be
manually or electronically monitored. The ConVault system rests a
minimum of four inches above the ground on unitized concrete support
legs to allow for complete visual inspection.
7.
Thermal Protection
ConVault's monolithic concrete enclosure and insulation layers provide
thermal protection that minimizes temperature change for flammable
liquids stored in excessively hot or cold environments. The system
contains no heat transfer points or cold joints on the bottom or sides.
ConVault systems are California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.) certified
for Phase I and Phase II Vapor Recovery for gasoline, ethanol and
methanol.
8.
Spill & Overfill Protection
A seven gallon internal containment basin provides added protection
against accidental spills. In addition, the tank can be easily equipped
with auto shut-off devices and alarms.
9.
Weather Resistant Exterior
Low maintenance finish options protect the tank from damage due to
outdoor elements. Powder coating of external steel fixtures inhibits
rusting. Options include:
- Natural Finish
- Epoxy Finish
- >STO (TM) Finish
10.
Vandal & Natural Disaster Resistant
ConVault fuel storage systems are projectile and vehicle impact
resistant per U. L. Standard 2085, Level 3, as well as engineered to
withstand earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters.
