Composite Liners for Spill Containment Applications
in the PETROCHEMICAL industry
No one wants to experience any kind of breach or spill that would allow oil to reach navigable waters, adjoining shorelines or contaminate the surrounding environment but sometimes accidents happen.
To comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations, facility managers have come to rely on ESI’s geosynthetic liner systems for bulk storage tank lining and secondary containment purposes.
ESI’s provides facility operators with tear, abrasion resistant and cathodic protective systems to stay in compliance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Subpart 112.
ESI has extensive experience in providing design support, supplying materials, and installing geosynthetic liners specifically for spill containment purposes.
