ACO secondary containment basins enable compliance with current environmental regulations and and are designed for all ACO tanks. The secondary containment basins are available in Open-Top Outer Containment configuration. Check with local regulatory agencies for compliance in your area. When determining size of secondary containment basins, always refer to factory drawings to confirm primary storage tank size compatibility.
Chemical secondary containment basins are increasingly becoming the standard all across Canada. Many users of chemicals and other specialized liquids receive their products from the supplier in large portable containers called Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) or totes. These users now have an easy containment solution.
ACO Container Systems, operating from Pickering, Ontario, produces a line of polyethylene secondary containment basins for use with IBCs and tanks of all shapes. General secondary containment capacity guidelines are to have a minimum of 110% of the intended primary container – the IBC in this case. ACO manufactures a 300 imperial gallon basin for this application. Inner tank’s unique dome interlocks with outer tank’s side wall to seal secondary containment area from unwanted materials.
ACO Corporation advises that using its double wall storage tank system with a bottom sidewall fitting may not meet local codes for secondary containment, as tank contents could escape containment area in the event of fitting damage. ACO recommends that its double wall tanks be fitted with a top suction line and foot valve to provide constant flow to the pump.
