Double-Wall Storage Tank Leak Detection

Comprehensive methods for early identification and prevention of leaks in double-wall storage systems

Routine Visual Inspection

  • Regularly conduct visual inspections of the area around the tank, clearing debris from the tank area.
  • Observe for signs of media seepage between the inner and outer tanks and at the bottom of the tank.
  • Check the tank surface for rust, damage, or abnormal seals.
  • Observe the ground and soil around the tank area for oil stains, discoloration, or other abnormalities.
  • If corrosive media are stored, pay attention to whether surrounding vegetation shows abnormal wilting.
  • Use sensory evaluation to initially identify potential leaks.
Key Focus: Systematic observation and early visual identification of potential issues.

Built-in Monitoring System Detection

  • Utilize the tank's built-in monitoring system for real-time detection.
  • Sensors are deployed in the interlayer between the inner and outer tanks and at key locations within the tank area.
  • Monitor changes in media concentration, humidity, or pressure in real time.
  • When abnormal values are detected, the system automatically triggers an audible and visual alarm.
  • Data is uploaded to the control terminal, allowing staff to quickly locate the leak and take immediate action.
  • Achieves early detection and early warning of leaks.
Key Focus: Automated, real-time monitoring for immediate leak detection and response.

Specialized Sealing Performance Testing

  • Regularly conduct sealing performance tests using methods such as pressure testing or vacuum testing.
  • Specifically inspect the seals of the tank and its accessories.
  • By injecting inert gas into the tank or maintaining a specific pressure, observe whether the pressure value stabilizes.
  • An abnormal pressure drop may indicate a leak.
  • For leak-prone areas such as valves and interfaces, apply a foaming agent.
  • The formation of bubbles indicates a leak.
Key Focus: Proactive testing of system integrity to identify potential failure points.

Post-Detection Data Review & Maintenance

  • Establish a data recording mechanism to regularly review monitoring system data.
  • Review visual inspection results and specialized test reports to identify leak detection patterns.
  • Regularly calibrate and maintain the detection equipment.
  • Ensure the normal operation of sensors and alarm devices.
  • Promptly replace aging components.
  • Optimize the detection frequency and methods based on the characteristics of the storage medium.
  • Improve the accuracy and reliability of leak detection.
Key Focus: Continuous improvement through data analysis and system maintenance.
