TankLogix helps operators use tank monitoring compliance tools to support spill prevention, leak detection, inventory tracking, and high-level alerts for petroleum storage tanks. Real-time tank data can help teams monitor tank activity, identify potential issues faster, and improve prevention planning.
EPA oil pollution prevention rules under 40 CFR Part 112 include requirements for SPCC plans and oil-storage practices. For bulk storage containers, those rules address spill prevention practices such as overfill prevention, liquid-level sensing devices, testing, inspection, secondary containment, and prevention planning.
TankLogix does not replace a facility’s regulatory review. However, tank monitoring can help operators collect and monitor tank level data that supports safer storage, high-level alerts, leak detection, and spill prevention planning.
Depending on the facility and application, spill prevention and overfill prevention practices may include devices or systems such as:
TankLogix tank monitoring gives operators better visibility into tank activity, inventory levels, and potential issues before they become larger problems. This data can support prevention efforts, improve response time, and help teams maintain better records for tank operations.
The facility must combine visual inspection with another testing technique such as hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emissions testing, or another system of non-destructive shell testing. Comparison records must be kept and the container’s supports and foundations also inspected. Liquid level sensing devices must be regularly tested to ensure proper operation.
Title 40, Part 112-3 states that every company or facility must have an updated spill prevention, control, and countermeasure plan. Tank monitoring can help tank owners develop a sophisticated approach to developing and implementing a prevention and control plan to satisfy the US Government’s requirements. Therefore, the leak detection ability of tank monitoring can reduce the risk exposure to fines, expensive cleanups, and denied prevention plans issued by the EPA.
