Double wall containment tanks add protection against tank failure, providing a secondary containment solution against spills in a single unit.

These tanks minimize your concerns regarding environmental and safety issues and gives you the peace of mind you deserve. Let’s look at a few different double wall containment tanks available for safe and reliable containment of hazardous chemicals.
Double Wall Tanks
These tanks are made from medium-density food grade polyethylene with UV inhibitors and adheres to stringent federal regulations regarding capacity requirements and environmental concerns. Whether it’s fertilizers, detergents, or motor oil – a double wall tank is a great containment solution. Both the primary and secondary tanks of the containment system are completely enclosed and have a vented lid, but can also accommodate non-vented lids. The enclosed design of the double wall tanks prevents rain, snow and debris from entering the containment tank.
Designed for commercial and industrial use and compliance with EPA regulations, these tanks provides primary and secondary containment in a single product. The durable and safe design of these tanks affords safe confinement of hazardous chemicals and liquids, from calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide, to fertilizers and used motor oil that have the potential to cause significant environmental damage if accidentally leaked.
