Preventing oil seepage into the ground from storage tanks or equipment requires implementing a combination of preventive measures. Regular inspection and maintenance of storage tanks and equipment are essential to promptly identify and address potential leaks or weaknesses. Installing secondary containment systems around storage tanks, such as berms or liners, provides an additional barrier to catch any spills or leaks.
Implementing leak detection systems and monitoring equipment enables early detection and swift response to seepage issues. Furthermore, using corrosion-resistant materials and coatings for tanks and equipment enhances their longevity and reduces the risk of leaks. These preventive actions collectively ensure a safer environment and protect against soil and groundwater contamination.
