Agent-X is made of two layers of a geotextile fabric with Oil Solidifying Polymers embedded between the layers. This hybrid creates a filtration fabric that encapsulates hydrocarbons and forces them to unsaturated areas of the geotextile fabric. Agent-X is hydrophobic, which allows water to pass through it, and is oleophilic to solidify hydrocarbons upon contact.
If improperly stored, these chemicals can potentially damage assets or injure personnel. Secondary containment and spill control equipment can provide agricultural facilities with the containment measures they need to protect workers and comply with regulatory guidelines.
Because berms are typically designed to perform in particular working contexts, it’s important to consider design differences before selecting a berm. One design feature that affects both spill capacity and performance is the size of a berm’s wall.
According to an overview of clean energy from the U.S. Department of Energy, green and renewable energy industries are expected to continue to grow over the course of the next several years. Green energy facilities are subject to the same EPA and SPCC requirements as traditional energy operations.
Oil solidifying polymers are an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional oil spill clean-up methods. Oil solidifying polymers from Basic Concepts are designed to bond with a broad spectrum of hydrocarbons ranging from low-end gasoline to heavy crude oil.
Dan/Moderator: Alright, everybody looks like we've got the majority of the group coming in. And we'll probably receive a few more folks coming in, but we'll go ahead and get started. Good morning, and thanks for joining the BCI webinar series. My name is Dan Gray. I'm the Director of Sales for BCI. We'll be moderating today. And today's topic for our webinar series is “Difficult Penetrations and Secondary Containment Areas”. So, today we're going to discuss methods for sealing and working around difficult penetrations on secondary containment areas and systems.
According to the Department of Transportation (USDT), the United States has the largest network of fuel pipelines in the world. Many facilities utilize pipelines to transport oil, oil-related products or other substances. Over time, these pipelines can become damaged due to prolonged use, corrosion or weathering. To protect your facility from leaks and spills, it is essential to ensure that pipelines are properly repaired and maintained.
Secondary containment equipment is designed to help prevent leaks and spills from primary containment units from entering navigable waterways, harming personnel or damaging assets. A wide range of secondary containment options can provide regulatory compliance and help keep your facility protected. In addition to reliable spill containment, many of the secondary containment solutions offered by Basic Concepts feature a drive-over design.
Transformers are used in a variety of industries to facilitate the transfer of power from a source to the point of consumption. Perhaps more than in any other industry, transformers are widely employed in the electric utility industry to disperse and transfer electricity in large-scale power grids. Transformers are also considered oil-filled equipment since they utilize oil to insulate and cool internal components.
