The Importance of Chemical Storage Tank Inspections

A fundamental principle of being more sustainable is using the assets we have for as long as possible; maximising their operational life not only means we get best value but that we invest in any replacement at the most appropriate time, preserving budgets, materials and the planet.

At Chem Resist, we pride ourselves on the integrity of our plastic chemical storage tanks. Each of the thermoplastic chemical storage tanks we design and build come with a 20-year design life as standard – with regular, routine maintenance, they can operate way beyond this.

There are several areas of your organisation that could be damaged as a result of a loss of containment incident, including your reputation and site, in addition to the immediate impact on production and your customers.

Finding the right pumps and valves to integrate into your chemical transfer and storage system is vital to ensure the required performance, highest efficiency and safety standards are both met and maintained.

The requirements of a chemical storage tank are complex and varied; using the wrong tank in an application can have serious consequences – whether for the chemical being stored, the environment, or the people on site.

Chemical Storage Tanks play a vital role in thousands of UK operations; containing chemicals used in a wide variety of production processes. Any fault or failure could lead to damaging loss of containment and safety hazards which is why any storage tank you chose should be manufactured and maintained to the correct Chemical Storage Tank Standards.

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) operate 11 airports across the Scottish Mainland, the Islands of Orkney and Shetland and the Inner and Outer Hebrides.

Innovations in the Chemical Storage and Transfer Industry can be traced as far back as the Romans and Ancient Egyptians, but many of the advancements we still recognise today took place during the Industrial Revolution and the start of what is considered to be the beginning of the Modern Chemical Industry.

We’ve had a great 2022. Increased our commitment to Sustainability, worked on some very exciting and interesting projects and supported charities nationally and locally.

May we wish everyone a restful end to 2022 and all the very best for the year to come.

Pipework provides the vital connection for transferring liquids between key equipment and operational processes and is available in a wide range of materials, from metal through to thermoplastic. To ensure your chemical pipework meets the demands of your application, you need to select the appropriate pipe material.
