Frac Tank Containment Berms

Frac Tank Secondary Containment

Frac tanks are large mobile storage containers that are typically used to store fracking fluid, process water, fuel, chemicals or other materials. Frac tanks are commonly employed in industrial operations—such as mining and drilling—or in any context where large quantities of liquid or materials need to be stored. A frac tank acts as an intermediary container that holds materials prior to transportation or long-term storage.

When frac tanks are used to store fracking fluid, and petroleum products, they are subject to SPCC requirements outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If a frac tank is compromised, it could potentially leak thousands of gallons of fracking fluid, oil, gas or diesel into drains or navigable waterways. The best way to protect your facility from frac tank leaks is with a secondary spill containment unit.

Basic Concepts is the industry leader in spill prevention equipment for industrial and commercial operations. To help your facility achieve regulatory compliance and to protect personnel from harm, here is an overview of the SPCC requirements for frac tanks and the equipment that can offer reliable secondary containment.

SPCC Requirements for Frac Tank Berms

Because frac tanks are designed to hold thousands of gallons of fracking fluid, oil or hydrocarbons, they may be subject to SPCC requirements—or the spill prevention control and countermeasures rules. According to the EPA, the SPCC regulations apply to facilities that:

Store, transfer or use oil. Facilities that store, transfer or use oil or oil-related products, such as diesel fuel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic oil, adjuvant oil, crop oil, vegetable oil or animal fat.

Store large quantities of oil. Facilities that store more than 1,320 gallons in above-ground containers—counting only containers that store 55 gallons or more—or 42,000 gallons in completely buried containers.

Could contaminate waterways. Facilities that store oil or oil-related products that could reasonably be expected to discharge into navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines, such as lakes, rivers and streams.
