Storage Tank Manufacturers - Single Wall vs. Double Wall Tanks

Storage tank manufacturer Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger.Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger manufacturers above-ground single and double-wall storage tanks.  There is a difference between the two.  What are the differences between single-wall and double-wall storage tanks?

A double-wall tank differs from a single-wall tank in several ways, mainly design, fabrication, testing procedures, lifespan, price, function, technology and user benefits.  The added environmental and safety impact of the “second wall” in storage tanks often becomes immeasurable over time.

Bendel double-wall tanks’ outer “wall” wraps and surrounds the inner tank, creating an interstitial space between the two walls.  Any potential leak that may occur from the inner tank is captured in the sealed space, preventing a release into the environment and nearby work space.  With the storage tank’s leak-monitoring provision, a warning of any type of breach or leak from the inner tank will be issued.  The varying monitoring devices include electrical, mechanical, pressure, vacuum, hydrostatic, or manual dipstick.

The double-wall tanks from Bendel give our customers particular benefits that they demand, including protection against Storage tank manufacturer Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger with single wall and double wall storage tanks.catastrophe, protection against environmental pollution, containment if a leak or breach should occur from the inner tank, and safety of personnel working with the tanks.
